    Grounding Mep-802a while load testing etc

    I’m generally lazy, but after being bit by an un-grounded set, I now go ground crazy. Cheap insurance. Ps the shock doesn’t give you superpowers sadly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    Not a bad idea! However I’d like to be able to run the oven, water heater and ac unit. I’m currently tossing a soft start kit on the ac in preparation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    Varistor and fuse installed, now there’s less worry about expensive failure! I’ll pick up a spare voltage regulator to have on hand for preparedness sake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    Contemplation/To-Do’s: I had picked up a nice M353 trailer a while back to build a mobile power plant/welding rig out of to clear up more space in storage. But this 116 is simply too clean and so much lighter to pass up, it was basically free so now I’m going to dump the M353, anyone want it...

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    Today, I decided to dive in and see why it didn’t run. Topped the coolant off, notice oil was slightly low but still within the fill lines so I hooked my slave to it and it rumbled to life instantly to only shut back down. Low oil pressure, peek my head around to see a puddle quickly growing...

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    Alright ladies and gentleman, I’m going to make another build thread on something that I’ll probably never finish, because if you know me, I’m the worlds WORST procrastinator. So let’s get started! Scored up a MEP803A mounted on a M116A3, the hours were low, and the price was right! It was...

    Love em or not, here’s my MEP-1040 thread.

    Yeah they’re getting absolutely insane, all but bars a hobby member from buying one. They need to get more reasonable back to the 2-3k range for a mint set

    Recycling M925 Bed Into Dump Trailer

    Good info [emoji1360] unfortunately I don’t have a pto on my truck yet, that would be a nice addition. I’m seeing what’s the cheapest way to cook this up as spending 5k+ when I can buy a new 10 ton dump for 11,000k doesn’t seem fit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recycling M925 Bed Into Dump Trailer

    Alright SS Family, need some assistance! I have a M925 I’m parting out, and the bed is mint. I’m thinking about building a dump trailer, and keeping it on rockwells mean the trailer is simply going to be too tall. So here’s what I’m thinking: 1) Use the 925 bed, maybe add 2’-3’ of removable...

    TIM Module Problem

    Module mounted outside under hood on passenger firewall close to middle is probably toasted. The boards commonly short out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gonna need some parts

    Old man tougher than a $2 steak! So much relief to hear he not only survived but is in decent shape. Hopefully he still gets checked out, and thus the rebuild begins. What a story that truck will have Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    11.0x20 modern replacement

    The legendary g177 is probably the single toughest (readily available in most markets) tire you can put on a deuce, price is reasonable (subjective), traction is better than a N(o) D(amn) T(raction) and wear is spectacular. Especially if you adjust your front end properly and also machine the...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Most turbo trucks have a different gear ratio to accommodate armored acceleration, that’s by in part why the 1123 6.5 NA 4 speed trucks are very fast on top end. I had mine up to 90 as well doing some wide open testing last winter and decided it felt like i was coming back into the atmosphere...

    Turbo Identification (whistler or not?)

    I agree with the above stated, my ‘67 received its final depot build in 1989/91 (can’t remember) and received a LDT-465-1D with the quieter “D” turbo, rebuilt transmission, rebuilt axles, dropside bed and other goodies but of all things they reinstalled a rebuilt sprag :vomit: transfer case...
