    Run 2 x MEP 002a in parallel for 10kw total?

    Yep. They are two to a trailer so that you can run one while the other is down for rest/maintenance. They can't by synced up.

    6.2 with turbo build in progress

    If you ahve acces to them and can scan them, I would love to see them. I am kind of a 6.2/6.5 nut. The only specs I have seen for 18:1 are for the engines purpose built for marine applications. The website for GEP, who makes the 6.5 now, list it as 20.2:1 and 18:1 only for marine...

    6.2 with turbo build in progress

    Not sure where your numbers are coming from, but the 6.2 CR is 21.5:1, and the 6.5 was either 21.3:1, 20.3:1 or 20.2:1. The only ones that left the factory at 18:1 were special built marine grade engine from GEP, and the odds of finding one of those is rare indeed. You will find most broken...

    6.2 with turbo build in progress

    Changing injectors on a 6.2 or 6.5 won't change your fuel flow rate. The fuel is metered by the injection pump. How much gets injected is dependant on how much the IP sends out. Changing the injector won't change that. Now a different injector may have a higher or lower pop pressure, or a...

    Anybody in Gilmer County Georgia With M116A2?

    Could be another military trailer. They don't regulate the VIN's between manufacturers, so they can be duplicated. Since so many started with 1 and just went up, I would expect duplicates to exist. The only number the Army really cared about was the registration number, so those are issued by...

    6.2 with turbo build in progress

    I know the eBay sellers make all sorts of claims of wild HP gains with their injectors, but there is no way that changing just injectors or injector tips will net you anywhere close to 100HP on the 6.2. Not gonna happen with injector tips. Not gonna happen with just injectors. May get closer...

    Dyed Diesel / off road fuel.......

    In NC at least, whenever they feel like it. They tend to gather at tractor shows, livestock auctions, and other places where lots of diesels will end up and walk around dipping tanks in the parking lot. I have also seen them target vehciles with in bed transfer tanks. The one time I was...

    Dyed Diesel / off road fuel.......

    NC sends all fuel samples that come back red to a lab for confirmation. If it comes back as dye, your ticket is in the mail.

    HMMWVs Off Road Use Only?

    The lesson some Land Rover owners learned the hard way was that just because the state issued you a title does not mean you are free, clear and legal. In one case the insurance company realized after the accident it was a non-conforming vehicle and declined to cover it based on fine print in...

    Military Antenna on a Deuce

    The AS-3196 is speced for 30-90mhz, but my SWR analyzer shows they exceed the spec and stay within the rated SWR down as low as 26mhz, and as high as 100. They work pretty well on CB freqs, and I have used one for RX as high as 470mhz with a scanner with no issues. I will compare it to some...

    Pinzgauers for sale somewhere ???

    Geez auction police, give it a rest. This discussion is about items in the background of the pictures that are NOT listed in any sort of auction at the moment.

    HMMWVs Off Road Use Only?

    As has been said, the trucks from the original GA and CA sales were sold with SF-97s' that stated "off road use only" and that was supposed to go on the titles as well. Quite quickly a few folks discovered that some states had no provision for marking a title like that, so they "sold" trucks...

    Hauling an M101A2...how?

    Just tow it with your bill of sale- but be safe and smart about it. Make sure you take an extra copy of your paid in full invoice and have the GL rep sign and date your copy so you have it. If you are towing with an MV, just make sure you have spare bulbs, hook it up and go. If you have never...

    Anyway to wire AV/VRC-12 Antenna for CB Use?

    The As-3916 fits the same mount as the MX-6707, and while rated for 30-90m,hz it exceeds the spec a bit and my SWR analyzer says the SWR is within specs down to 26mhz, making it plug and play for CB use. I have a number of them available if anyone needs one.

    antenna?

    The AS-3916 is a better choice for CB use. It fits the same mounts as the 6707, but is mroe broadbanded and doesn't require any tuning to have a decent SWR for CB use- they go down to 26mhz while staying in the rated SWR specs according to my analyzer. The 3916 would be a good choice for your...

    towing ?????????

    I wouldn't try it with the 1009 pintle hook. The 1009 Pintle hook was intended to tow the M416 trailer, and is rated for a max of 1200 pounds. It is held on my a rather flimsy setup compared to the M1008. Your ammo trailer weighs 2235 pounds emptt, and you state it has something in the tires...
