Replace all 3 fuel filters.

I'd put the question in a post on the Historic Military Vehicle Forum in the U.K. HMVF - Historic Military Vehicles Forum You might also send the question to Chrysler. They helped me once regarding an M37 I had questions about, but that was about 45 years ago.

You are correct, the one directly in front of the drivers door is one I need. The one on the truck is completely unreadable.

Sears must have sold some generators at one time using an Onan engine. Not likely to be the 002A or 003A engine, but an engine that uses some of the same parts. Good find!

I never found any of the dataplates. I put it on the back burner. I'll call Saturn and see if they have what I need. Thanks.

I have ether on mine that works great. If you don't want to use the ether, why not visit your local CAT dealer and ask for their recommendation? The 3116 engine is very common.

I would start by replacing all three fuel filters.

I have 400-amp service in my house. My MEP003A is mounted on a M116A2 trailer and I wanted to keep the genset portable. I keep the trailer in my garage, and simply raise the garage door when I need to run it. I used a 400-amp 4-pole Square D manual transfer switch. The feed from the genset is...

I think a lot of people don't empty the air tanks on A3s even though they should. Mine were all plugged up. So was the drain on the fuel filter. It took quite a bit of rodding out to get that opened up.

Copy the picture and paste in in a document and then you can blow it up to read easily.

I found an NOS Square D manual transfer switch on Ebay for a really cheap price and it works great. I wired the 003A to the transfer switch via a 100 amp pin and sleeve connector. I wired everything myself and had no problem with the inspector.

I think that's a really great idea. I recommend it be done Friday or Saturday night when the most people are present.

I've had zero problems purchasing 6TLs from Interstate.

The easiest way to get 6TLs is to get them from Interstate. These are very heavy, but I use 6TLs as well.

I get a lot more than that in my A2 - 10 - 12 mpg with the top off, but you have a lot more wind resistance in the 109. I found it also makes a lot of difference in the mpg due to speed.

I absolutely agree. This was a very poor design from the start, and all A3s are the same as far as I've seen. When I extended my hoses, I used hose that was compatible with fuel, hoping tht would help them last. My original pressure line to the steering actuator was leaking like a sieve.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers from the North Georgia Mountains. You have come to the right place. There is a lot of good people and information here. I would recommend that you start reading the TMs on your new A2. There is a lot of good information there that can help you avoid problems.

I found that if you lengthen the two hoses feeding the large hose, the smaller diameter hoses will flex much easier and not put so much strain on the large hose. That being said, you have to be careful how you route the hoses to make sure the hoses don't interact with the tire or get pinched by...

CARNAC, That is definitely not good news! Tell them you missed the plane. Make up something.

AceHigh is absolutely correct. That hose only handles the exhaust side of the actuator. If air is continuously leaking from the large hose, that means that air is leaking from the air assisted steering past seals. The only air that should enter the large hose is air that is released when the...
