Quick question, the tm states that equipment condition is battery cables disconnected prior to testing. 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...
I picked up my MEP 831 today. It will not start using the manual start. It does have fuel, it did run on the video from GP. I followed the correct procedures for a manual start. It did crank with a couple of pulls and shut off after a few seconds and will not do anything now after many pulls...
I am trying to get some ideas on mounting my 831 on a trailer. I have seen some good ideas and asking for some pics of what y'all have come up with. Trying to decide on what trailer to start with.
Thank you!

I need to put the weatherstripping around my tailgate but i want to use some for gaps on my soft top doors, etc. Is there a decent source of supply for some good GP stick on weatherstripping? Not really concerned with using the correct stripping for the tailgate since it is most likely...
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
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.

The instructions say to tap the wiper motor hot wire to gain power to the console. Did anyone do this? I am just not sure i want to distrub that fully sealed factory wire. I can run the leads to the battery box but trying to think of another option. Do any of you have a pic of tapping into the...
I will most likely work on my torn boots tomorrow. I have the kit from Kascar and removing the shaft looks simple enough. I do not have the tool i have heard of the tighten the band...Is there a cheat for it?
The TM's and the MWO do not have pics that help my simple little mind. Can someone please send me some real decent pics of the install? Particularly the wheelhouse reinforcement and the retractor mount but pics of the other mounting locations also...just rear is needed. I appreciate it.

On my 2011 mep 803, i just want to verify a couple of things before i go on its maiden voyage powering my house on a test run....the transfer switch has nothing to do with the output, just tells you what it is doing, right? I am a little confused about what position to have it in for the proper...
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...
I want to vent my exhaust out and away from the little shelter i will be building over it. It will not be fully enclosed however i would still not want the hot gas going directly into the cover. Is there a known source of supply for the correct pipe?

Saraland Al GP Lot. Jay and Mike!!!
Both of the guys running the GP lot in Saraland,Al are awesome and very helpful. I appreciate them and look forward to dealing with them again.
Went last week to pick up a Generator and an A/C in Albany. Was speaking and texting Eric prior to arrival and even had contact late evening/night. Great guy and the other guys were great also.
Good Job!!!
According to the TM, it looks like Terminal L2 is not used unless it is 3ph power. The pics are what i have and i need to move the lead from L2 to L3 and the rest is good to go. Please take a look and tell me what you think. I just got it off trailer and set up today. The last pic is my use of...
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...
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.

How have you been repairing the corners of the box that are rusted through? A simple cut out and cover up? Can anyone send some pics? I really appreciate it in advance.
