Theres something you don't see everyday. A piece of equipment that looks great and functions as it should. Great job Jim. You may want to put a meter on it to check the HZ. When I first got my 003 running it acted the same way. I find tune it with a $60 multi-meter. Great job. Jeff
I'm sure it will. No matter what we do to them and how hard we try, they always seem to work. Looks great. Have you found the fasteners for the front panel yet? Jeff
Had the same problem when I first started my rebuilt MEP-003. Checked TM and then ask the same question. Was told to switch the selector switch by the convenience outlet under the cover to the correct position for the voltage. Mine started working correctly. Or you may check the grounds...
Man, you do nice work. I just got done replacing the motor and painting an MEP-003, but it looks like a kid did it compared to the job your doing. A little lesson I learned is make sure you have a good clean mating surface for all you grounding straps. Or it allows the Gremlins in. Again...
Try USAA. I just renewed my deuce at $248 for 6 months. told him 5000 miles per year. He asked me if the truck was garaged and I told him no, only have 3 car garage and 4 vehicles.
First of all, thanks for all your Help. I did manage to get some of the little Gremlins back in the bag today. The battery gauge, the voltage gauge and the hour meter are all working correctly now. I took all 3 of the grounding straps off the Gen Set cleaned the ends and the mating areas and...
The story begins one sunny day in the desert of California, Barstow. I picked up a MEP-003 that I had won from GL. A NO SCREENING auction. Got the MEP home and found out it had a stuck motor. Tried all the tricks, motor would not move.
Found rebuilt motor for a good price, ordered...

It let's you install all those things you can't live without.
I have taken 40 kids to the swimming hole at family reunions and had more go out looking at the stars, just because they got to ride in "The Big Truck". But besides that I get to do and go anywhere I want. Like it says on my back bumper. "Yours may be fast, but mine can go anywhere". And...
Here's a play by play of the mod I did a couple months ago. May help? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?90317-Another-hmmwv-seat-modification-but-with-3-seats&highlight= Jeff
Okay a little update on the seat install. Yes, I did install the 3rd seat and its great. Fabed up a 1"...
I installed my grandsons child seat today, so we could go for a ride in "The Big Truck". I'm glad I put the three seat in with seat belts now. "Priceless" Can't believe AM General didn't think of this.
After the first of the year, I have a friend that is going to make one for my M116a2 with MEP. He's going to use the old cover that only 3/4ers as a pattern. I can let you know about the cost. He is estimating around 350 to 400. But I can pick my color, olive drab or black. I'll post the...
