Make sure the lift pump is working. You should be able to hear fuel returning to the tank. I would then drain and clean the fuel tank and replace all three filters again.

When I was in, we used straight 30 unless it was below freezing.

Congratulations on getting your new A2. The truck looks very nice and I'm glad you had an uneventful drive home, except for the rain. You are smart starting out by reading the TMs.

The viscosity compensator was bypassed. The truck should still run fine. Sometimes the viscosity compensator will leak fuel into the crankcase, and now it can't happen.

Welcome to the site from North Georgia. You've come to the right place. I have a lot of relatives in your area of NC.

I haven't looked recently, but there have been complete NOS A3 axles for sale on Ebay in the past.

I think you are the one that doesn't understand. It is obvious that you have not been in the military. No one is picking on Stranger75. People are simply expressing opinions. There are severl things to consider here. Many military vehicles are quite large and difficult to maneuver quickly...

The type of convoy formation is very important. In a Close Column, the vehicle speeds must be under 25 mph and the distance between vehicles is 25 - 50 meters. In an Open Column formation, the speeds are over 25 mph and the distance between vehicles is ~100 meters. Open Column formations are...

You first need to confirm that someone hasn't burned up the brake shoes on the parking brake and at the same time confirm that the parking brake assembly is complete and installed properly. Sometimes springs are missing or broken. It is quite common that drivers forget to release the parking...

This is only used on teh Civvy CAT 3116 engine.

I pull a M116A1 trailer with an MEP003A genset on it all the time, which is the same as a 101. They pull great, but ditto on don't try to back up. Even if you can see the trailer it is very hard. I prefer pulling the 105 trailer behind the deuce, although backing up a 105 is no joy either.

First, welcome to Steel Soldiers. You've come to the right place for help with your MEP. The MEP003A is an excellent genset. I found some of the nuts on the underside of the connection box loose on my 003A, in fact, one nut was missing. Check these connections. Also try changing the switch...

A friend of mine bought a low-mileage H1 several years back with a diesel engine. He had major mechanical problems with the engine and other parts of the vehicle. The crankshaft even broke in half. After spending a lot of money on repairs, he sold it.

When I picked up my A2 at Ft Indiantown Gap back in 2009, I drove it back to North Georgia. It whined in 5th gear, a little louder when I let up on the accelerator. I figured that if it made that long trip, there was likely nothing to worry about - - wrong! Shortly afterwards when a few miles...

I would definitley recommend against putting the slime in there. It is always best to perform a real repair. The problem is almost always a leaky valve stem grommet. when the grommet is replaced, don't seal it with anything and don't seal the o-ring either. The valve stem nut should be...

You can find them on E-bay for less than $10.00. Search for MWO Kit.

Congratulations!

There's nothing attached to look at.

I love problems that solve themselves! That is if they stay solved!

I've permanently wired a cable into the output box with a pin and sleeve connector on the oppposite end that connects to a receptacle mounted outside near my garage. The receptacle is mounted in a weatherproof box that is connected by underground conduit to my transfer switch. I keep the...
