    DRASH (GETT) Modification Discussion

    Look at the top of the Phase 2 peak. You have 120 volts between the top of the peak and zero. Phases 1 and 2 are not 180 deg out of phase. Go straight down from the top of the Phase 2 peak until you intersect the Phase 1 blue line. From where it intersects go left and read the voltage...

    DRASH (GETT) Modification Discussion

    This sounds like a lot of work and questions. I have an MEP003A. I found a new 4-pole Square D 400 AMP manual transfer switch on Ebay for a cheap price. I ran conduit underground from the transfer switch to a pin and sleeve receptacle mounted near my generator. I simply plug my power cable...

    Usmc m1030b1

    You called the small bag on the front fender a goggle bag. Did this bag on an M1030B1 contain goggles? I have an M1030M1 diesel and this bag contains tire changing tools and patching materials, along with a small compressed air cylinder for tire inflation.

    New m35a3 owner and new member!

    I switched to Dexron 3 in my A3 when I first got it. Make sure you only use Dexron 3 and not a later version. Other ATF will deteriorate the o-rings in the trans. Also, you want to make sure you get all of the motor oil out with multiple flushings as the Dexron 3 and motor oil aren't...

    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    In addition, why not ask participants for donations. Anyone that wants to contribute can and those that don't aren't required to. Completely anonymous. You could accept donations ahead of time and in addition have a donation box at the rally. Even small donations could help.

    USMC diesel motorcycle sold on GovDeals. 2003 Kawasaki KL650-A17

    USMC diesel motorcycle sold on GovDeals. 2003 Kawasaki KL650-A17

    The one exception on manuals may be European sales. About a year ago someone in the United Kingdom was trying to sell an M1030M1 and he states that he had a set of manuals. I have no idea if his manuals covered the engine or just the standard KLR650.

    Congratulations on the M1030M1. There are zero spare parts available and no one has seen a manual of any kind.

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    There isn't any problem using it on engines designed for ultra low sulfur fuel. It would still be good for the engine, just not needed as much in my opinion.

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    There are apparently some major differences in lubricity products. I've attached a set of test data I downloaded. According to this, some additives actually make diesel worse, such as MMO.

    Diesel Fuel Lubricant

    We lost power yesterday for about 6 hours. Of course we had company over and it was hot and we needed the air conditioning. The MEP003A came to the rescue again. My fuel tank was close to empty, so when I filled it back up, I added Opti-Lube XPD fuel lubricant to the tank at a rate of .25 FL...

    MEP002 Muffler

    It's better if you use flex pipe to connect to larger diameter pipe. The larger diameter pipe will reduce restriction on the exhaust.

    Deuce lights not working

    The wiring in an M35A2 is very simple. Just follow the circuits on the schematic. You have likely disturbed a wiring connection when you exchanged your batteries. I attached a wiring schematic for your use.

    MEP 003A No start

    The pumps are identical so there is no problem swapping them. However, before you do that you should prove that you have a problem with the pump. Crack open a line and see if diesel is sprayed out. If so, the pump is fine. Are you sure you don't have air in the system? Try bleeding the...

    M1030M1 Sold At Auction In Knoxville

    The value of anything is only as high as someone is willing to pay. It will be interesting to see how high these will go or if the price will come crashing down at some point.
