    Just got my first genset MEP-831A

    Amazon has most once you learn to cross them. Ebay usually has the harder to find ones, especially oil filters. Here is the inline filter in front of the fuel pump, Hastings GF-27. Big filter/water separator is a Wix 33583. Air filter is a Yanmar 114250-12580. Oil Filter is a Yanmar...

    Best forum around for information

    Kroil is fare better than Mystic or anything else. Get two of the 8oz bottles and dump about 2oz in each cylinder. Let it sit a week or more, then try it by hand first. Be patient. It took a lot of time to seize up, it will take time to unstick without breaking a ring.

    Is This Possible for the CUCV? "93-96 Caprice 140A Alternator upgrade *SAVE $$$*"

    Wrong pulley, not isolated ground, and only a few bucks cheaper than the right one. For $177 and free shipping its hard to justify not buying the right stuff.

    surging/return line question...

    Filling the filter is tedious, get a funnel with a tiny end and go slowly.

    Convert M105, M200 or other air over hydraulic brake trailer to electric how-to

    Ease of conversion more than anything. Other than the bracket I will have to make to hold the actuator its all a bolt on affair. Going surge would have been about the same cost after an actuator, steel to mount it, brake lines and the rest but would have taken a lot more fab work to replace the...

    surging/return line question...

    Your governor is sticking and "under-running" under deceleration because the metering valve is sticking. It is a 75% change it is just dirty. If it is just dirty you can clean it. Get the Stanadyne Fuel Injection Cleaner and a fuel filter. Change the fuel filter, open the bleeder screw and pour...

    Convert M105, M200 or other air over hydraulic brake trailer to electric how-to

    My first test drive was slow, and I pushed the manual brake switch over and felt- nothing! Getting a little speed up, I could feel it come one when I stepped on the brakes- it came on smooth with about a half second delay from when I hit the brakes. Coming back and reading the manual it seems...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    I have one, but they are almost always geographically limited, mine wouldn't be valid there. Intinerant license almost always don;t allow a repeater. I am actually leaning toward GMRS. Real GMRS, not the bubble pack radios. I have a complete, ready to go 100w GMRS repeater we can set up. No...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Is there going to be an AAR thread this year? I have an idea to settle comms issues but was waiting to post it there. Should I start one.

    Has anyone installed an electric brake cutoff for reversing on their surge brakes?

    I saw this when looking for stuff for my electric conversion for my 105: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LOZDN6I/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00LOZDN6I&linkCode=as2&tag=oldgrossurstu-20&linkId=KGPALMTZMZDRQ6H4 Has anyone used one? Thinking of one for my M416A1.

    Another Torch Kit Info Needed

    Are you looking for NSN's or just the parts? If memory serves me some of those torch kits never got NSN's for components, and you had to order parts using part number and CAGE.

    Another Torch Kit Info Needed

    According to Grainger, whose stuff is unusually accurate, this crosses as the right cylinder. http://www.grainger.com/product/WORTHINGTON-CYLINDERS-Disposable-Fuel-Cylinder-5UX34

    Thinking about a NC mountains rally

    Could be any time- something far enough away from the other ones in the region to not cause any conflict. A winter one riding in the snow would be nice.

    Thinking about a NC mountains rally

    Since the good folks from Durhamtown have a 3000 acre facility up here now... http://www.durhamtowntellico.com/ The trails will be a lot more extreme than the GA rally, but some should be doable for our stuff.

    Convert M105, M200 or other air over hydraulic brake trailer to electric how-to

    I had a lot of folks asking for details on my conversion on my 105 at the GA rally, and while it is not done yet I have it hooked up and working. I am starting this now and will update as I go with what I change. I will put links to anything I use to make it easy to find, and am going to write...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Major breakdown- turns out the previous owner of my truck only installed 4 of 6 mounting bolts for the Reese hitch and two just snapped and it bent down and was dragging- luckily it went in a parking lot. I managed to get it back up, put one bolt in and get the trailer into a spot and unhooked...
