    MEP 806B CIM Failure

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/manuals-for-the-mep-806b.173099/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mep-805b-and-mep-806b-cim-info.161389/ There are a couple of links to the TM's. I believe the second one may be redundant, but included it anyway.

    MEP 806B CIM Failure

    Looks like it's stuck in POST. So basically it does it's "power on self test", then looks for bootable media. It doesn't find any, so reboots to try again. This is the boot loop you're seeing. My advice is to go check the TM's and troubleshoot the bootable media. I believe there is a CIM...

    MEP 831A getting used

    Looks like you're only about 50% load! Looks good to me, obviously that will spike with the convection oven. A good idea to use that whenever possible to keep the wet stacking down, though I doubt you'll have much of an issue with that. What's your fuel consumption like so far? Sure is nice...

    Hurricane Sally and my MEP-803

    The background noise helps me sleep, but the thought of the noise attracting unscrupulous individuals keeps me up sometimes. Good thing these are pretty quiet, and as long as at least one neighbor has a gas job running, I don't have to worry about it.

    MEP-802a cold weather starting

    So I took this last week as we got snow. We rarely get snow. I was out the door for work and the thought occurred to me, so I took a quick video. Sorry if it seemed rushed, I just wanted to see how my 802 would do with no preheat. I was very impressed. It was 26 out that morning.

    Burying a fuel tank

    Ok so I saw earlier where you said that you were convinced not to bury it. Just want to reinforce that. I used to live in Miami, lived near westchester and family had a place down by cutler ridge (cutler bay now). The BIGGEST reason why I say you shouldn't just try to bury a random tank is the...

    Moving from Portland Oregon to Waco Texas...

    I'm in El Paso, sounds like you'll be going right by me. I have plenty of curb space outside the house as I live on a corner, I probably have 100-200' of usable space if you need a secure place to park for the night. My neighborhood is primarily Military and LE so you shouldn't have any issues...

    MEP-806B won't start.

    There is a thread somewhere that lists the MPU part number that can be had from the local Freightliner (I think) dealer. I will see if I can find it.

    Mep 802a vibration issue

    Not in the cards right now.

    Mep 802a vibration issue

    Thinking of cutting the mats to fit the base and placing between the base and the RR ties. It's not perfect, but I just want to cut down on the vibration it puts into the dirt. I think that would help with what I'm hearing inside quite a bit. I can't change the distance to the neighbor's house...

    Mep 802a vibration issue

    Same here, the only one near me that has it is almost 100 miles away. This is also true of McCoy's

    Mep 802a vibration issue

    I might try both. Either one I can use for something else around the shop. Was thinking of trying both and seeing what works better. I'll definitely go with the 1", thanks for the heads up on that. I was going to just get the 3/4"

    Mep 802a vibration issue

    I just took my 802 off the trailer I had it on and set it on a couple of railroad ties next to the house. The ties are sitting on bare dirt. Probably about 15' between my house and the neighbor's. The resonance sucksssssss. I swear the thing vibrates the ground like a roller does lol. I was...

    Diesel fuel degradation

    You live in South Florida. You should know this. Get a marine grade biocide diesel fuel supplement and call it a day. The humidity down there is no different on land as it is on the water. The same stuff people run on their diesel powered boats is the same stuff you should be running. Worst case...
