    MEP-803a. Diesel sub-tank.

    It sort of depends on how much run time you are expecting to need or would like to plan for. full load you are looking at 1 gallon per hour, half load 1/2 gallon per hour. I've done generators in the past where it's a steel frame for it to sit on up off the ground, with empty space beneath it...

    M998 no power in the front wheels and driveshaft locked

    one other thing, with all 4 wheels on the ground and shifter in neutral, try rolling the truck forward and watching the shaft. Then after you remove the shaft roll it forward again and see which of the 2 flanges spins. Whichever one doesn't (either the differential or the transfer case) is the...

    Camo

    Rapco paint 4 gallons to my door was about $190. At home depot the Behr Marquee was about $55 a gallon. I believe the Ultra was in the $45 a gallon range, so it's all priced about the same. 12 pack of rattle cans Rapco was about $100 shipped. Best part of the rapco is being able to buy spray...

    Camo

    Locally sourced then Behr paint is the easiest to get, and the Federal color code matching is pretty good. The Behr Ultra is supposedly a little less sheen to it, the Behr Marquee is a little more durable, but not by much. If ordering from the internet then Rapco is the preferred source. Can...

    M998 no power in the front wheels and driveshaft locked

    I assume you mean it doesn't turn when in gear with the engine running, or just generally won't turn when transmission is in gear but engine is off? Obviously somewhere something is broken. If everything looks and operates properly in the front diff it could either be the transfer case has an...

    Has Anyone Altered the MEP 831 to make it super quiet, like 58 dbA or less?

    It is unlikely you will get the sound much lower just going for the exhaust pipe. I know in the civilian side of things people have run exhaust pipes into buchets of water and all sorts of other things, but the exhaust is not the only source of noise. The mechanical sounds and the intake are...

    Anyone in Nebraska? Titling Question(s)

    From all appearances it's actually easier in Nebraska than it is in Kansas https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2332153286863630&set=gm.2479899385382756&type=3&theater&ifg=1

    Slant Back Sideboards

    I don't think it looks bad per se, but to me it just looks very wrong for it to be like that.

    Dummy load?

    When I first hooked up my 3 ton ECU I didn't have any of the heat strips disabled. According to the diagram that put's it around 9.6kw. It took the load, didn't open any breakers or anything, and the gauge read right at 100% load. Frequency however was way below the gauge, probably in the...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    I know there is at least one here in Washington State as well. I'd love to own one myself but never actually do anything where it would be utilized to anywhere near it's full capabilities, plus I don't have anything to tow it with anyway.

    Backup camera solution?

    I'd imagine it would be the same as the reverse light switch for the shifter; there are plenty of threads about doing that upgrade.

    Brake Fluid Reservoir

    I didn't even know there was a 5.1. Now that I've looked it up, whoever did it can go to heck.

    Jack Stands for HMMWV m998

    I just use a suicide jack (high lift) and some 6 ton jack stands from Tractor Supply that are tall enough to keep the wheels off the ground. Only try to do one side at a time, not in the center, or you might find out why they are referred to as "suicide jacks"

    Gearing up my M998 for Alaska

    Doing it for any surplus vehicle on the assumption that it came with an off road only stamp on the SF-97 (which they have stopped doing because they aren't technically allowed to modify a government form to my understanding) is just stupid to me, not to mention that would automatically...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    for my HMMWV wheels I like to roll them up a lawn mower ramp, as long as you are able to keep it upright and roll it uphill a little it isn't really all that much force needed.

    Gearing up my M998 for Alaska

    Not all of them come with off road only SF-97s, and some states title them as regular vehicles no mater what the SF-97 said. At that point it's a valid, legal on road vehicle. But a very good point for someone to think about when making their purchase.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    My cousin had a 2" receiver welded to the back of his gooseneck trailer, I'd imagine this is the same, then a pintle installed in it.

    Dummy load?

    I bought one of the 3 ton Nordic Air ECUs. 3 phase heating coils are good for just under 10kw. I disabled 3 of the 9 heating elements, pulls 115% load on my MEP-802A 5kw. The ECUs tend to go for really cheap at auction because they are all 3 phase and had the refrigerant drained. (recharging...
