    MEP-804A Diode Ring Destroyed

    Too slow! Spray water on the wall, wait a bit, pull it off. Almost done. Had to knock off for making chow. Listening to kick arsh Blues on Aardvark Blues, Internet radio. I could work all night!

    MEP-804A Diode Ring Destroyed

    Got to do what you got to do. If you could score a main gen with the updated ring, life would be good. I bumped my buddy. Will see if he is awake. Or the Corona got him? Now, I am supposed to be removing wall paper. If I don't get this done, my son will be disappointed. The only thing worse...

    MEP-803A cranking cylinder pressure

    RTB. There is a procedure for checking vacuum. Use a manometer, or, RTB and make a home made Manometer, that works well.

    And you know, over the years Marathon has made some absolute bomb proof Main gen. Why reinvent the wheel? Something that works, works well, works for ever, should not be discarded!

    HMMWV Fuel Line Check Valves

    There are, two schools of thought here. If it was not needed, why would the military have them on the truck? They are there for a reason. Keeping fuel from draining back in the system, and causing non starts, or engines starving for fuel, until the fuel pump fills the lines back up. Yes...

    I am trying to get someone to get off his butt and answer that question for me. Retirement seems to fit him well.

    MEP-804A Diode Ring Destroyed

    Of course. On any part located in such an area, if it screws down, it need lock washers and Loc-tight.

    MEP-804A Diode Ring Destroyed

    Ok, here is the story as told to me. Marathon original diode ring was sub standard. Add to that, press in diodes. Harder to replace when just diodes are bad. AND, that drove up the cost of repair. Why by a whole ring, when its just a diode bad? The military had lots of failures. So many, that...

    If you go back and read the Forum rules, you will find that you are not allowed to sell things in open threads, and you also need to upgrade your membership.

    Thoughts on 12v conversion on MEP-831A and MEP-803A possible or not?

    Why "Fix" something that aint broke. In the end, you will have something that will cost 4X the cost of two cheap batteries, AND you will be sorry for the rest of your life.

    Humvee Front Bumper Mount

    Unfortunately, like a lot of parts for these, they use the most basic description possible so searching for it by it's name is worthless. The word "bracket" shows up 347 times in the first parts manual part 1, and the same for part 2 of that, so almost 700 times. In the ECV/REV manual it shows...
