Sounds like you could even get away with an 802A. I can in the winter but I need an 803 in the summer. Wet stacking is not as big an issue as I understand it with the Onan's. One thing I could think of is add a couple portable electric heaters and and fans while you are on generator power and...

I clean with acetone before I use paint of coat. It is funny stuff, you have to shake it up really good. Like you, I always had better results when dipping. When I spoke with the gentleman in the video we went back and forth about cost vs. gain. I guess I could just use a rust inhibitor...

I just put a small piece if butyl dampener on the frame behind each lifting ring. I still coat all of my hooks and rings with plastic dip. I also coat the first 10 feet of my winch cables with it. I had the following polymers company recommend plastic dip to me for small jobs like this as it...

It is probably easier to handle with bolts than welding. On the Peterbilt and Freightliner frame material I have, they all have a do not weld sticker on them.

I am glad you are preaching snatch blocks. I try to tell everyone to use them religiously. It also allows for you to get more cable off of the winch which again increases its pulling capacity. Are you going to put a plate on the bumper to mount the fairlead?

The vibration mounts look brand new! No issues with them. Put silicon on the rubber parts. I will have to mock up the pattern you suggested in the fiber board. There is very little room directly above the muffler. Maybe an inch. I added a steel stiffener since the cabinet dips there and...

Hi Tim, I agree with where you are going with structural enclosures but for my requirements I only have the space allocated inside the unit to work with. I want it as quite as possible and I will add some sound absorbing material next. My goal is to not increase the sound, lower it if...

I just looked a a home movie theater install that stated the cost @$2 a square ft for 1200 sq ft. It must be decoupled with special spacers in order for it to vibrate with sound waves to convert the sound into energy. If you could make a box to cover the entire generator you would never hear...

Keep the pics coming!

Hi Ahab, Looked into it and the Navy touts the material to be equal to 12" of poured concrete. They also allowed a commercial company to produce it for commercial use. Well I found the same specs and 12" claim on a NASA spin off company named Acoustiblok and they are located in FL...

Ok, didn't get as much done as I wanted to since I have to fix my truck today 1) Put Damplifier Pro on the rear plate where the air filter is mounted. 2) Put the first coat of Spectrum on the doors, roof, and new hood. 3) Made a stiffener for the top of the generator. Got to add some secret...

Congratulations on your new truck Ken! Awesome.

I built a wire screen that is mounted in Steel U expanded metal channel. I fits inside the exhaust hood. We have several internal baffle designs we are playing around with to kill airborne sound. One of the good things about the spray on rubber compounds are that they kill vibration at 1 mm...

Day 2 1) Removed the doors and drilled out the rivets. looks like those shaky doors stays need some nylon washers! Will take care of that! 2) Removed the hood and cleaned up the interior of the cabinet. I will chain lift it later and fix the drain hole to prevent invasion! 3) Sanded and...

I may coat the entire unit inside since I am going to fix the intake area anyway. Some disassembly required! I really like the coating, it kills the noise transfer in the sheet metal. It is just expensive. Almost $300 for 5 gallons. I have the same stuff with ceramic beads mixed in it. I...

Due to ice, snow, rain, pests and other things that can cause issues with a generator I decided to make some modes to my MEP-803A. The first modification is the addition of an exhaust hood. This will prevent things such as snow and ice from accumulating in the radiator exhaust cavity. Since...

Starting a new thread on the generator modification to the air input and exhaust. Got the exhaust hood built today and will put up a few pictures.

Sure, fire that puppy up. The more information we have, the better!

2 - 939 hoods in box ($50 each pickup in Greenville SC or 2 for $75) I am not sure if I will be able to make it there due to work. I have a delivery from Bragg next week so if you guys want them you may be able to get the driver to bring them up there for a very cheap price. Gone Gone Gone...

Yes, Several Fire Departments use them on their hmmwv. They just made a push bumper to mount it on. Very simple for what is needed and cheaper than buying an new series 12.
