Slick - I have some kind of "fantasy" for a home that is all Faraday cage... That previous owner sounds like a kindred spirit of sorts [thumbzup] Indeed, the same things you will find the building suggestions are applicable to the MEP line of generators too - double wall the housing, put...

Sylomer, used all over the place, not just Naval subs - also used to isolate entire buildings or industrial machinery from foundations. Think of how bad it would be to have a skyscraper next to a subway line, or a quiet office next to a building that has a 1000-ton stamp press...

Thanks. I'm most interested in the corners, they are the most complicated. By thinking it through I've come up with one solution to a rather tricky corner detail: Im interested in door hardware details and window framing details. These are always the most complicated of all the corners...

I'm interested in your corner detail work. How are doing that? Re-enforcing it with a corner piece?

Reverberating and chassis vibration damping is for certain important, but are you doing anything to combat airborne noise too? Like mineral fiber absorbing material inside the case? How about the isolation of the unit itself from any structure that could transmit noise away from the generator...

Removed by me.

That cab is too narrow... Photoshoped.

You probably understand then how annoying this can be after a few years... They do, it's called a GPC/TSU. Anything is possible if you are technically proficient - but like the realtor luxury item saying "if you have to ask, you probably..." Probably not a good hobby if you have zero...

In summary, early HMMWV control boxes had a nasty problem with contact corrosion and water ingress under the hood. They are a replacement part when they fail - not worth it to repair (both in time and money). Acronyms are shorhand, if you learn them it'll speed up conversation: BOX = a 6-sided...

There was a thread a while back on building an enclosure for a 003, not quite the same thing, but the principals are the same. Isolate mechanical vibration of the generator from the enclosure/structure, then absorb the heck out of the airborne sound. For Dirt/Mud Dauber Wasps, you'll need to...

Welcome from California :beer:

Have you ever drained and cleaned your fuel tank? It kind of sounds like you have crap in your fuel tank that is getting pulled into the pickup filter sock, and then gets sloshed around.

And they say size doesn't matter... HA!

Yup just replaced both the cold-switch and the GP temp sensor, the switch was about $100, while the sensor was $25. A new solenoid is about $115 now. The shaft that goes through the center of the solenoid body can get dirty and jam up just due to the design (complete pass-through). Probably...

Sure you're not putting them in backwards? If so, they would just "flow" once pressure to overcome the spring was achieved. side note, I thought the factory temp was 185F... Pyrometer = IR thermometer. The type/color of surface you measure can affect readings, as can the distance of the...

Sounds like a bad wire or ground issue with glow plug control... You are correct, the "WAIT" light does not equal glow happening, just pre-start-glow. Depending on coolant temperature, they may be a minute or so of after-start-glow. If the glow controller is trying to glow afterwards and...

They are intended to be cut (my post above had instructions in the "tool for removal" link). This is the full training video for the Huck tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l8CjIBc-30 The version you see on your trucks is the one where the tail piece shears off at correct swage...

The are supposed to be difficult to remove (you gotta really want to!!) - they hold on the suspension and hold the frame together on a 40k-lbs truck... I wouldn't want them to have to be checked after production ever, that would be a nightmare for heavy truck maintenance.

Ouch.

First off - those aren't regular bolts.... They are the modern cold-rivet style used by all heavy truck manufacturers called "Huck Bolts". The thing you think is a nut was a nut finger tight and then was swaged onto the bolt to prevent it from backing off, and to pull the material tight (just...
