The TM5-6115-465-12 indicates fuel consumption is 1 gallon per hour per 10kW of load. Based upon over 60 running hours of my MEP-005a during this current Texas crisis, I'd say this is darn close. I was loaded anywhere from 10kW to 18kW and my average consumption was 1.4 to 1.8 gallons per hour.
Yes, it would be good to start a new thread. As the owner of (3) MEP-005A’s, I’m very interested in how to fix issues and/or modernize components. Thanks and following.
Totally agree; FuzzyToaster is super to deal with! He goes above and beyond for his customers and has done so for me. I’ve even seen him drop everything to help an unknown, stranded MV owner. If the world had more FuzzyToasters, it would be a better place. I am fortunate he his local to me, but...
Welcome to the military wrecker world! You will very much enjoy it. You likely have batteries by now, but if not, the correct batteries are four 6TL's. I get them through O'Reilly's for $202 each and they arrive next day (picture below). As others have mentioned, you won't need four batteries...

Yes, I still have the M543A2 wrecker. The M35A2C was sold and I replaced it with a M818w/w. 'Also picked-up an M1008 and M1009 along with multiple MEP-005a's.
I'd take $9,500 for the wrecker. I have not driven it in a while and it currently needs new batteries. Fortunately, it...
I have the exact same problem with my CUCV. Thread from last year is here:
http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/49978-m1009-running-cold.html
I had plenty of heat prior to replacement of the original copper heater core which was leaking. I replaced with an aluminum core, but I don't think...
I've had the exact same problem with my M1009 after installing a new aluminum heater core, due to original copper core leaking. Totally stock set-up. I've done everything, including new NAPA hockey puck thermostat, made certain the diverter doors in the heater box are closing all the way...
Transfer case rear output shaft seal for the New Process 208 transfer case as found on my M1009 is a National (National Wheel End Components owned by Federal Mogul) #9449. 'Perfect fit and not too bad of a job to replace. O'Rielly's had it in stock.
