MEP-802A and MEP-803A engines are factory painted Forest Green 34083.
DN2M-1 and DN4M-1 new or rebuilt are factory painted Forest Green 34083 for engines under military contract. (yes, lister-petter LPW2 & LPW4 is the same and can be found in all kinds of colors)
Howdy,
How do you know your brakes are not working?
Surge brakes will work fine moving forward. You will not get flat spot on tires that you would notice. The surge brakes work with g-force inertia. When you come to a stop, trailer is still trying to go forward as your braking and the assembly...
Howdy,
One word "surge brakes"
The surge brakes are doing its thing. They locked the brakes and you were still moving your vehicle. Backing is always a bear with surge brakes. Someone here had a temporary fix for locking he surge brakes out for moments like this. Placing a bolt somewhere so the...
Howdy,
Here is a picture of the MEP-803A exhaust manifold temperature location I take my reading from. About middle of manifold in the center by the muffler.

Here is my MEP-803A with 3kw-16kw loading. There is also my MEP-802A in that thread too.
Howdy,
The MEP-802A is comparable to the Generac 7550EXL. The MEP-802A has a better 24/7 operating qualifications. I also believe the MEP-802A does have a higher surge capacity too. The MEP-802A will do well for what you want. The MEP-803A would really do everything you want without...

Howdy,
