    After 4 days of shipper shenanigans I have the donor. So when I get off work this morning the fun starts. Best part is the old was a Bosch pump and the donor is an Ambac so upgrade!

    803 Frequency Gauge

    These are historically pretty wonky. Make sure you have voltage coming into the transducer (rectangular black box) if you have power there id just replace the gauge with a newer line style (no transducer) gauge and bypass the transducer Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Mep-003 donor engine

    Waiting for the engine to arrive I have found other tasks to do testing glow plugs filters etc. The fuel filters are still the military filters and good lord the water contamination was bad. Made me think the separator was never drained. So that was next and the mud buildup was the worst...

    DC Breaker Tripping MEP 002A

    I've had 3 failures on them. The way I prove it is replace the breaker with a 7.5 automobile fuse. Beats buying a breaker if you don't need it
