    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    I was told by DMV in Towns County that the standard procedure when you use a Serial Number instead of a 17-digit VIN is to place zeros in front of the S/N to make it 17 digits. I have no idea what you would do if the S/N was more than 17 digits. Probably very unlikely anyway.

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    I don't have to try to get my M35A3 titled, I was finally able to register it earlier, but it was illegally registered. Now I don't have to worry about having my title revoked like some have had happen. This was an incredible feat Swiss, Zout and others put forth getting this bill passed in...

    Autopsy of Failed Fuel Level Sensor on MEP003A

    Delks is a good outfit. I've bought other items from them in the past and all were exactly as advertised and quick shipping.

    Autopsy of Failed Fuel Level Sensor on MEP003A

    Update: GEMS, the manufacturer, got back to me and said that they were out of stock but would make one for me. They didn't give me a price, but I declined. Delks finally got back to me and I bought a used sensor for $95.00. The leads out of the reed switch are only about 1/4 inch long and...

    CTIS just stopped working.

    If you're driving on a 1,000 mile trip, you don't want to be running 45 PSI anyway. Even if the CTIS functions, turn it off and inflate the tires to 60 PSI. The truck will run a lot smoother and your tire and fuel mileage will increase. Don't run more than 60 PSI, though, as the wheels are...

    Autopsy of Failed Fuel Level Sensor on MEP003A

    I just received an e-mail from GEMS informing me that the sensor is still an active part manufactured by them. It isn't on their product list because no one has ever tried to buy any except the Army and Navy. They are now trying to get me a good price on one, knowing that I'm not the...

    Autopsy of Failed Fuel Level Sensor on MEP003A

    I sent an e-mail to Delks, but haven't received a response. Haven't tried Saturn yet.

    Autopsy of Failed Fuel Level Sensor on MEP003A

    I received a quotation from WB Parts in Palm Bay, Florida for a new one at $268.00, which is too steep for me. I've gotten a lot of parts for MVs from WB in the past. They are high, but they often have parts no one else has and they have no minimum quantities. I think DH is right, it appears...

    Autopsy of Failed Fuel Level Sensor on MEP003A

    The fuel level sensor on my MEP003A genset failed, preventing me from using the auxilliary fuel input from my bulk diesel storage. I previously thought the problem was caused by a failed solenoid valve, but when I troubleshot the system I determined that the fuel level sensor had failed in the...

    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    Dave, I can't believe the progress you've made on that truck! You really do great work. It will be great to see the finished product.

    003A developed sudden starting circuit short 24v to ground

    I don't understand how it could possibly be the slave receptacle causing his problem. He said earlier that it only shorts out when he energizes the starter. The cables to the slave receiptacle are connected directly to the battery via the battery cables. If the slave receptacle or slave...

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    I have an idea about Tigger's truck. How about asking for volunteers to go in together and buy it. We could then take it to the SSGR and try to sell it. It's much easier to sell an MV if there are a lot of MV enthusiasts around and Tigger's truck would mean something to a lot of guys at the...

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    It seems that the more time passes since I received the news about Mathew, the worse I feel. I guess it's taking time to really sink in.

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    What about using a picture of an M38 ambulance on the back. Still a truck and we would know what it meant.

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    These are from Zouts in 2013. I'm sure there are better photos around, but these show what Mathew was all about - always helping.

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    I am literally sick at my stomach hearing the news about Tigger. He was one of the best people I've ever met, not just in SS. I remember helping him work on his jeep at the 2013 GA Rally. We talked quite a bit. He was a great guy and will be missed. Prayers go to Mathew and his family.

    Passed the ARRL Technician and General Exams today!

    Congratulations on passing the exams. Ham radio is something I've always been interested in, but never seemed to have the time.
