Forgive me for sounding alarmist, but I hope you all use this situation across the world to make sure your sets are not only fully operational, but that you have the necessary supplies (fuel, filters, backup parts, etc) to ride out whatever length of time you could potentially see life...

I've seen users before who have mounted up their 802s onto the basic Harbor Freight trailer (https://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-Capacity-48-in-x-96-in-Heavy-Duty-Folding-Trailer-62666.html). Just had a coupon come across the inbox this morning on this unit, for anyone who has been...

My searching skills are failing me now... a user here had posted up a real slick manual oil pressure gauge install with a T at the sender.., believe it was on an 802. Does anyone recall that thread, or can link to it? Considering putting one in my unicorn. Thanks

Chaps, I didn't think it was possible. I was fortunate enough to be able to acquire 2 NOS MEP-802A units. These are honest to goodness, never fielded units as best I can tell. They still have the original tape over sheet metal seams, battery connections, heck... one of them retained part of the...

Does anyone keep a spare set of plugs in their backup stock of parts? Its one of those things that rarely fail... but is often overlooked.

I don't know how, but in buttoning up my 802 yesterday for the incoming storm, I refilled the unit with new fuel... only to see the bottom of the mesh strainer covered in algae goop. I overtreat my fuel (like double all manufacturer dose recommendations), so I am not entirely sure how it grew...

Got the winds today, currently roasting off the 802. Happy turkey day all.

Tariffs have been causing filter prices to go up and up. Just got a notification from Fleet Filter: "From Thursday to Sunday - we are having a... 4th of July FILTER SALE !! You don't need a coupon code - the discounts are automatic! All orders up to $200 will receive a 15% discount All...

Just thought I would share this, for anyone that has to do any splicing. I had to wire in a new connector on an older diesel F350 over the weekend, and used these: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/2213600-8/te-connectivity That particular model is for 16-18ga wire, but they make sizes for the...

Hopefully this flies around here, but I need help moving a long vehicle (nonmilitary) from CA to MA. I have a 1992 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 sitting in CA, waiting for a ride to its new home here in my hands. I am striking out with these normal freight brokers online, so I turn here. Let me...

Does anyone know the bolt size for the trailer mounted MEP units? I had dismounted one previously... and can't seem to find where I squirreled them away to. I definitely see them called out in the TM 9-6115-659-13&P, but not unique identifier info. Thanks for your help.

Any thoughts, fine SS folks? Just got a set in, and its got a long term leak in the one thats there. Edit: I will hit the manuals when I get out of work, for those naysayers ;). Just trying to get a jump on it.

I received an email from a manufacturer who supplied parts for these gensets, that I would like to pass forward to the forum. Perhaps some of you can take advantage of their offerings (I have nothing to do this with company, nor any financial gain from it... they had actually reached out to a CL...

I know a Stewart Warner was crossed for the fuel gauge (as well as a VDO)... but has anyone had luck finding a coolant temp? I understand I can swap the sender out and use a different gauge, but theres got to be something​ out there that will work that isnt over $100!

I've seen so many sets come up missing this piece. Whats the deal... poor reliability on the part (so constant scavenging)? Any availability on the secondary market?

I won't say its my second home, but I know the area well https://www.impomag.com/news/2018/07/injuries-reported-blast-pennsylvania-army-depot Just learned the other day that the tire shop right across from the marshalling yard for auction business closed up... a shame, was a great place to fill...

I wonder why the military chose to go with the exact square size and configuration for the sheet metal roof on these sets (the perforated area over the radiator on 802/803, etc). I always see set that have distortion here both from regular use, but also from abuse. At the end of the day, the...
