    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    Just replace the gasket again. You may have missed something cleaning off a surface. Not worth slapping sealant on it with all the work you did. The housing is soft aluminum as well. May have got nicked. Might have a spare housing around if needed.

    Mep-1050, mep-1051, 4-1050, 4-1051

    The generator head part number is the same on here as the the MEP 1040. Since I need a head for my MEP 1040, this is great to know. It also means that these can indeed be used in single phase. But, only to about 11,000 watts before heat causes an issue. Unless that issues is due to the voltage...

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    I'm not buying two batteries to test a truck I'm just thinking about getting. If I already owned it, good batteries would have been in it before doing anything as is generally the first thing I do with equipment.

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    After thinking about this for some time, I'm willing to guess what the issue is & I'm going to go back next week if I can to see. So, like most surplus stuff, batteries are no good in there. A large jumper pack is being used. That said, its a 24v pack. This means, there is not a good 12v power...

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    I thought this at first as well & is why I tried to pull a code. Not to say this isn't the issue, but it may by a symptom.

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    Well, there I go being dumb again. I'll need to unplug the CORRECT thing next visit to see if that makes a difference

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    FYI just to add to this post, page 54 in the .PDF file covers the TRANS light staying ON STEADY and not going into Diagnostic Mode trouble tree.

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    Okay, well maybe I was just being a dumb & didn't understand what it meant by glow plug controller. What does it mean by glow plug controller then?

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    I'm in Texas where most roads & highways are 75mph. I have a 3spd & it will push 70mph, but it is way up there in RPM & will such diesel down running like that when I want to go for a rip. The 3spd is going to stay at the Roads End Ranch & want a 4spd for all the radio goodies. Once the truck is...

    Transmission Diagnostic Mode - issue I couldn't find here

    Everyone, I spent a few hours searching here & read a few threads. I also have the WO troubleshooting guide .PDF & did find what covers part of the issue but still wanted to share as there's something odd. Been looking at a M1097R1 that has a 4spd (4l80E?) in it. When you put power to...

    Restoring the Deep Water Fording Kit

    I have an M1097R1 that is in the same boat, but had almost all the DWF parts removed. The only hint I had that mine was one at one point, was the hols punched in it for water draining & patched, selector valve hole patched, the hard vent lines to the rear left in place but cut, and the only part...

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    FMTV brake canister diaphragm replacement.

    I learned all about the chambers & different sizes a while back! The first part of this video is on that. If the service brake diaphragms are worn, the parking are as well. I opted to just change the whole outer piggyback chamber so it was easier.

    1996 LMTV M1078

    I installed a PTO on the drivers side. Not fun, but not impossible. If you have the means to unbolt the bed & slide it back, it would be simple to do.

    HMMWV M1097R1 specific

    I was using a GPS to confirm. Mine is set pretty close though. I got a pretty good truck. Not a looker, but runs & drives great. I did clean it up a bit the past few weeks. Getting that Deep Water Fording kit on. Got almost all the parts.
