    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    Yes, it is in the correct series of plugs, but it is not the correct plug. I have already linked the correct plug in my original post. the -14 at the end of the part number is the diameter in mm. The correct plug ends in 32-1p, so 32mm across with insert #1. Both the one you linked and the...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    I already found all the part numbers I was looking for, this thread was to share them on here for anyone else that might be looking for them, as they aren't the easiest thing to find.

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    Thanks, but no, that is not it. (that's a tiny connector, and only $7. The actual connector is about $200 for everything) I listed all the part numbers up in my original post that I was able to figure out. The plug itself is one, the cable retainer was another. After that was replacement pin...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    Here is a picture of the plug location in the truck. Rear passenger footwell, behind the battery box.

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    Okay, so here is the old slave cable plug next to the cable end I am talking about. Hopefully side by side it shows how different they are. More pins, different pin placement, and slip fit vs threaded retainer.

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    This was NOT about slave cables. This is about the plug for the umbilical that goes to any type of shelter or body installed in the back of the HMMWV. It took me a little while of searching just to find the right terms to bring up the connector I found, it's not a "Nato" standard like the slave...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    No, I was just sharing what I found concerning the plug that attaches to the umbilical that is installed in some of the trucks. I know I've spent hours finding the numbers for what I needed, then actually finding sources for them. I lucked out and found the connector itself on ebay for cheap...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    This isn't a slave cable. This one goes out the back of the battery box into the cargo area for things like commo shelters and whatnot to be plugged in, instead of having to be hardwired to the batteries. Here is what the old slave cables look like for anyone that doesn't know. Larger...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    (edited) To clear up the confusion, this post is me trying to share the part numbers I found related to the umbilical cable plug in the rear passenger footwell of the heavy variant HMMWVs (M1097, M1123) for anyone that might be looking for them. I found part numbers, and listed them below, as...

    M802a enclosure

    It's even more when the unit you buy had something heavy that either ran into it or fell onto it from the side so the entire thing looks twisted. I took it apart and hammered a few things somewhat back into shape. Exhaust comes out the hole and the doors close enough to latch, so I called it a...

    I bought a "Not operationally checked" MEP-803A what can I expect?

    Battery should be at least 12.6V to be considered charged. Anything below that needs charged before testing. If the batteries are in good shape the unit can still be started down to about 12.3V each, but they are considered nearly dead at that point, so not a good idea to do it if you don't...

    Smart start control box

    Not allowed to do links to active auctions because it can either be favorable or disfavorable for the auction results. Example, someone posts a link on here, talking about how they are going to buy that product. Since a lot of us are nice people, we don't want to bid against others on here if...

    Question about MEP-804A Generators wired 120/208.

    Will the relay kick out if it's just overloading one or two legs? I wasn't sure with the unbalanced load. That and considering I put an almost 10kw load on my 802 once upon a time, and instead of tripping it bogged down the entire unit until it read 100% output (at something like 45hz) I'm not...

    Question about MEP-804A Generators wired 120/208.

    If he's using it to power a panel originally wired to 120/240, then it would be a whole lot of work to separate out everything to operate on the 3 legs of 120/208.

    55 gal fuel storage drum preparation?

    If it held oil, there shouldn't be any concern for it holding fuel. Diesel is just another type of oil for the most part. Adding an epoxy lining is mostly if the tank has existing damage or if you are going to put something inside of it that is corrosive or oxidizing. Diesel is neither of...

    Question about MEP-804A Generators wired 120/208.

    The manual does say max of 52 amps for 120/208 operation. So that gives you 2 legs of 52 amps 120V each, or a total of about 12,500 watts. You don't want to go over that as the generator head was not designed for an unbalanced load and you can cause major damage to it. You'd want to use 50...

    55 gal fuel storage drum preparation?

    As long as the fluid in it was clean before (not waste oil) you don't even need to rinse them (provided you aren't running it through an engine with a diesel particulate filter) the oil will mix into the diesel and run through an engine with no issues. As reset2 said, add some diesel biocide...

    803A smoking and surge after warm up

    Another question, what type / how much load was it under during your few hours of run time? Just "loaded/unloaded" can be open to a lot of interpretation.

    HMMWV Mysteries

    Brackets on wheels aren't for helicopter sling, there are frame points on the back of the truck for that. (helicopters lift from a central point, or forward and rear points on a Chinook, and there is nothing that would keep the cables spread so as to not crush the HMMWV fenders if it were to be...
