    Iola Wi show/rally canceled for 2017

    It's people trying neat legal theories, like you're responsible for the actions of the one drunk at your event. Because he's not able to pay up, but let's sue everyone in sight who may be able to pay. The need to provide everyone a safe rubber room experience at all times isn't some long...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Well reverse has a lot of torque. So it sounds like you backed it home with the spring breaks engaged.

    FOUND! Stolen M939 out of Monroe Washington

    The whole acceptance people have (Even while wishing it were otherwise) of people stealing and other anti-social behaviors is frustrating. It doesn't have to be like that, but people tolerate it, so we get it. And tolerating includes continuing to elect people who write weak laws so there's no...

    FOUND! Stolen M939 out of Monroe Washington

    Looks like they ran it out of fuel, went and got fuel, and went back. The dashcam video has them on the side of the road, with a jerry can that looks like it came off the truck.

    Advice on a 50-100 gallon Auxiliary tank for MEP-802A generator

    I'd fill it to keep the moisture potential down. Half filled is a lot of volume to suck water out of.

    How to hookup MEP-802A and MEP-003A through Asco transfer switch to dual 200A panels

    People are stupid. So rather than tell people they're stupid and hurt their feels code got changed to require a generator that's automatic either: A) be as large as the maximum possible load automatically connected. OR B) have a transfer switch with automatic load shedding. Only one company...

    Bad News Georgia HMMWV Owners

    They do in WA when you convert a off road vehicle to on road. But the program doesn't cover hmmwv due to size.

    My MEP-803A

    The clips are pretty handy to attach test leads to. Otherwise, I'd have pulled them by now.

    Selling on Craig's list

    Next thing is "Hey, my buddy Frank will pick it up, can you give him the extra $$$ while I dispute this with Paypal or some other shenanigans to stiff you."

    Auto crane 5005h on 925

    Yup, the floor's gonna need some extra enforcement. I wound up welding 4 pieces of angle iron to the bed's stringers to form a more solid base for the hiab I installed. Only lifted ~1500lbs so far, and the bed doesn't flex now, but the truck does settle onto the suspension. (No outriggers yet)...

    MEP-803a, runs, but a couple quirks

    My oil will start @ 60 PSI and drop to 40 if the coolant gets above ~165F. Used to drop worse, which in retrospect was the diesel that was leaking into the crankcase thinning it out over time. So what temp is the engine when it's down below 20?

    Ground Bonding

    Ground rod at generator when hooked to house? It'd be easy to drive a rod where I keep the trailer parked and hook it up for when load banked. But lazy me would like to just leave it connected...

    flip a Deuce

    Don't know what kind of shape your deuce is in and all, but honestly if I had some random dude I met have one I had an inkling they might want to unload 3K's the most I'd low ball at. And I'd be keeping it. But I'm not shopping for one.

    New member and a new-to-me MEP-803a

    Only one white, black & ground where? Coming from the terminal block of the heater to 3 wires you need to hookup somewhere on the generator? L1, L3, GND.

    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    Yeah.. GL pulls the "Must pickup within 10 business days from invoice. MTuW only." If you're not open, it's not a business day for you.

    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    Sounds like a YMMV problem. The juts at JBLM have been great so far at the pickups I've done. Really flexible hours.
