    My first MEP

    Very nice! I remeber when I brought my MEP-002A home and fired it up for the first time. I did all sorts of PM'ing before I cranked it over to fire it up. When it fired up it was music to my ears!

    Windshield Frame Seal

    Has anybody experienced a difference in the imported seals vs. the NOS seals (P/N 7373325 ). If so what suppliers have either the imported or NOS? I would like to get new seals for my truck and would like to research it before i make a purchase. I also noticed there is an additional seal (P/N...

    Front axle eating seals

    What lubricates that bushing? Does grease get in there somehow from the knuckle or is it a one time grease during assembly?

    Transfer Case Bad Input Bearing

    Thanks a lot for getting me the numbers! Are any of the numbers you have for the input shaft bearings better than what were came in the transfer case originally? I would think an open designed bearing would be better, but then again, I didn’t design the transfer case. I am just wondering if...

    Transfer Case Bad Input Bearing

    Well Dad and I pulled the transfer case apart last night. Everything went smooth with no unexpected finds. As Gringltaube predicted, the bearings on the low range rear bit the dust. I am sure they were already on their way out from before, but they definitely need changing now. What I don’t...

    Increase in power at high rpms recently

    Mine seems to run a little better at 2250 compared to my usual cruise speed of 2100-2200. I can’t say much about the boost, but it definitely likes it. I never let it get above 2300... EVER. The whole throwing a rod thing scares me. I think some of it could be the centrifugal timing advance in...

    Fall 2012 Rausch Creek Sign Up Thread

    I currently have the transfer case out of my deuce. I had a bearing go bad, so I will be pulling that apart tonight. I still need to get my knuckle boots done and heater installed before the rally. Like to have it done soon so I can drive it a bunch to make sure everything is good.

    Load test of two MEP-002As, diff results...

    This is interesting. I too would like to see how many amps you were able to run through it continuously. I know they are under rated, but proof testing it would be a good. I guess they were rated at 7.5 Kw in their civilian version. Although I don’t know if it was the same generator head.

    What does SWA stamped over my VIN/Serial plate mean?

    Does that mean the truck was over seas? It sounds like common sence that it was, but I figure I would ask. My truck also has an SWA stamped on the data plate.

    M35A3 W/W Exterior Data Plates

    There is one on the cowl right infront of the drivers door... is that one you are looking for? The one i have came off a non-winch truck. I forget what exactly it said.

    Transfer Case Bad Input Bearing

    After looking at G's drawings of the T-case, it makes sense that the front gear of the input shaft is more smooth. It is the high range gear and used the most. I can also understand why bearing #5 on the low range gear would fail first. Bearing #5 supports the low range gear on the input shaft...

    Transfer Case Bad Input Bearing

    Thanks for the good info G! I was thinking the same thing about it not popping out of gear and it might be worth rebuilding. Everything was still fully functional when this bearing went bad. I want to tear into the transfer case for the learning experience, knowing what I have when I’m done...

    Transfer Case Bad Input Bearing

    I would think it is the input shaft, but if you say the gears on the smaller BL210Z bearing go first, are they ball bearings that have a bearing cage also? Thinking back about the sound, I could definitely hear a whine coming from the transfer case but also the sound of a gear being driven that...

    Transfer Case Bad Input Bearing

    I backed out of my parking spot yesterday at work and heard what seemed to be a gear grinding. A gear grinding a little like how something would sound if not engaged all the way. It did not in any way effect how the truck backed up, nothing shuttered at all and no loud crunching. I got scared...

    Electric Wipers Install

    They are the same cab, just modified to make it more modern. Modern as electric wipers, cab heater core mounted inside vs. under the hood. Those are just a couple things different. My wipers do work good and Rain-X definately helps too.

    Totaled Deuce Gets Rebuilt

    Just a little update on my Deuce. Since I got the Deuce back on the road (July 10th) I have driven it 2438 miles so far. I drive it to work almost all the time, to my girlfriend’s apartment 34 miles away, and everywhere in between. I have not had one problem at all with it since I put it back...

    This forum is killing me

    I know what you mean about the wait. I had to wait all winter for mine when I bought my first one. That was almost 3 years ago and seems like a distant memory now. I have been driving my deuce like crazy lately. hang in there and try to make productive time before your deuce gets home. It’s not...

    Did it have the Mack Diesel? I think it was Mack, right?

    Winch Teardown Q

    Thanks G! I did not know there were two styles of drums. I am fairly sure that mine is the NO-through hole drum. It makes sense not having the through style if some GI forgets to unlock the drum. The thought makes me cringe just thinking about it! So basically the NO through hole style is like...
