Anyone planning a run from Long Island down I-95 corridor? Got room for a couple of engines? PM or email. Thanks. Norm

So said Herr Eichmann, look where THAT got him.

Well, if you read about the travails of the MEP-series genset owners who have done everything short of disassembling their units to remove the fuel/water separator, you might think thrice about putting one in your Humvee. I got lucky. I only needed to use a TEKTON filter wrench, which still...

Welcome Jarhead, Gyrene, US MF Marine! I had many a lost weekend with my Marine friends (I was Army) at several duty stations many decades ago. Flaming shots of 151 - whoof! You've come to the right place. Great group here, helpful as the day is long. You, like a LOT of us, seem to recall a...

Welp... Went to ACE hardware yesterday, with parts in hand, found o-rings to fit 1/4-20 bolt, actually 6mm ID metric, about 3mm thick. I used one for the inside of the bowl, one for the spacer between the filter and filter itself. For OUTSIDE the bowl, I found a sink valve washer with 1/4" ID...

Welcome to the madness. I know ONE HMMWV owner, “AOR”. Passed along an “extra” 12 bolt rim to him, let him sit in my HMMWV and he had one of his own within weeks; then I sold my M1102 trailer to him. Several other owners here. There’s a parts guy, Brett, his dad (RIP) used to post here as...

I don't think so. Note the gaskets provided do NOT include one for the base, which is where the housing is leaking. (BTW - it wasn't leaking before I replaced the filter) Only ONE of the larger gaskets is required; the one that comes with the WIX filter fits the recess, but WIX doesn't...

I mentioned this in the other thread on “MEP 802-803 filters” The third stage filter (just before the injector “tree”) leaked. A lot. Fast forward to sourcing new seals, cleaning out about a gallon of spilled fuel (really really), and the thing STILL leaks. How hard is this, anyway? There...

Plenty of us. Ask away. Norm

What they said, plus, what, nobody mentioned the ever-popular "Swellman" glow plugs? Yes. DISCONNECT GROUND (seriously consider installing a keyed ground disconnect switch - details here somewhere) ANYTIME you work on electrics. I got lucky, mine ran, but blew a LOT of white smoke (unburned...

Don‘t need the whole setup - yet - but the Gasket set, didn‘t know there WAS one.Found ONE of the jungle site, all I need for now, ordered a few more as they‘re backordered.Thanks a bizillion.*edit: amazon woundn't ship until February 2019.Found parts on autopartsandstuff dot com.gasket for the...

Been beating the TMs real good for about an hour looking for an answer to this question: What are the part numbers, or replacements (viton o-rings, NAPA parts, etc) for the GASKETS for the fuel filter cartridge housing? In the engine manual ARMY TM 9-2815-253-24, page 3-26, there‘s a blow-up of...

Used to be kits available, there’s an NSN for them, no one seems to have them in stock. I tried locating all the seals/bearings going by the parts list, found one part one place, two at another, bearings somewhere else, S&H plus parts and no o-rings was just too dauntingn a task, so I have a...

THAT is why I enjoy being a member of this board. Sharing. I'll stick w/ 50A for now, but know I can put a 60A breaker in down the road is enormously helpful. Not sure what size AC I'll be installing, but figured I'd need the output of the 803a for it (802a helps, just not enough "oomph" to...

Anyone trying to figure out how to "drop a ground rod", it's easy. Good videos on making a ground rod water drill on youtube. You buy a 5/8" female hose adapter and a 10 foot length of conduit. Tap the adapter into the conduit. Wrap tape around conduit at 2' 6" from hose end. You can also...

Welcome to the madness. Keep us posted. Enjoy. Norm

Welcome to the madness. Post pictures. Norm

Judging from the corrosion around it, it’s not likely to be the ONLY thing stuck, frozen, damaged. Get your favorite brand of penetrating oil (Penetro 90, Kroil, ATF/acetone, whatever) and go to town. Consider investing in stainless steel fittings for the rest of the genset. Keep us posted...

MAN. You can buy an entire 6.5L turbo drive train for about HALF what they're asking. Would be great to see performance/dynamometer testing results.
