    M149a1 restoration project for a local fire department

    Yes sir! Been there, seen that, done that. It is very scary the first time it happens. And will not get all that much better, with time. I used to drive the fuel truck. We sometimes took the buffalo with us, as getting fuel always meant being on a Post, and that meant getting water easy. When we...

    M1008 lift kit in France (or Europe)

    What CUCVMULE is saying is that unless you dive a lot off road, off road tires do not perform as well on wet roads. They tend to hydroplane easier. Greetings from Germany!

    Mep803a Cranks but won't turn over

    Batteries are probably the biggest problem the military has with its equipment. Want to get rich, sell batteries to the Army. On our HAWK site, after 1977, we were on what I would call a small hill. 510 meters above sea level. In winter, we had snow when the valleys had rain. And it got down to...

    Mep803a Cranks but won't turn over

    If this is a keeper gen set for you, think about putting another battery in, and two months later, go through it all over again. If you can afford it, get two, and sleep well. Having once eaten insistent mash potatoes, in every possible variation, for 2 months, I would rather eat then buy the...

    2910-01-595-5200 Below is the three part #'s for the above NSN. To the right is the cage code. 30554 is MEP. I would guess that MEP did a deal straight with the manufacturer, ( PGcontrols ?) The second two part numbers are from Cummins. Two part numbers could mean that they had to get an...

    Mep-1040 governor fault.

    Its called CAGE Code. Every vendor who supplies something to the US gov, has a CAGE code. It I.D's the vendor. There is no shielding intended. Now, Vendor. That is not the same as producer. And when the gov goes someplace for an article, or designs its own and has it made, the office that runs...
