My question is how can i feel voltage from the module to tp31 when batteries are disconnected? My mep will not stay running, keeps shutting down and occasionally it will have a overload short...

    Off road Diesel in a 2011 MEP 803

    I am reading that off road diesel is good for any engine prior to 2007...not sure how true that is but I wanted to see about it in my 2011 MEP 803. Any wisdom? I am going to burn down trough my diesel storage and want to replace it with red fuel if I can burn it in the MEP. Thank you

    Grease zert fitting on front drive shaft

    This little fitting on the front drive shaft spins freely. I have a new one but was wondering if this is a common deal to go bad? I assume i have to take off the whole shaft and separate the pieces. Is there anything i need to know other that what the time will have in it? Is the groove it fits...

    I bought one of the cb antenna kits from TMG and snapped the antenna off halfway the other day. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on a different route than using another one of those copper antenna. The pic is of the rubber base. Not too concerned with staying pure MV on it. Sent from my...

    Rear Seat install question

    Maybe i am just overthinking this. I do not see where there is info in the Operator TM, don't see it being a 2nd or 3rd echelon issue. Installing the rear seat backs, i can only find where one of the bolts line up to attach the rear seat backs. What am i missing? I do not have the short divider...

    1991 M998 Surging

    I am not located near my HMMWV right now, but I wanted to go ahead and ask this question so I can get a game plan. It is new to me, and at idle, it will do some surging. The voltmeter will go down to low yellow, and you can hear it in the engine. This will continue every few seconds unless you...

    Mep 803 and general question about generators

    I have always been told that it is bad for a generator to run with a light load or no load. Is this necessarily true? I got my mep for preparedness and also to power small tools in the field. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
