Most of us have made our own because commercial/surplus load banks are typically several thousand dollars. Mostly it's a supply/demand thing, there isn't a huge demand, so there isn't much supply for them. Unless you have a fleet of generators of all different sizes and output types (120...

Eastern Surplus appears to have some in stock? At least, it lets me add them to cart https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/5654/HM-804-Cargo-Retainer-Bulkhead-Latch

Looking at specs for the truck and generator, a ram 2500 4X4 with 6.4 Hemi and 4.10 gears has the following rating 3610 lbs for regular cab long bed 3300 lbs for crew cab short box 3140 lbs for crew cab long box 2910 lbs for mega cab short box so looks like the MEP-005a weighs about 2850 lbs...

I would say it's not that uncommon for them to fail. From what I've seen, it's the same basic MPU as the Generac liquid cooled standby generators (I'm a Generac Tech) and replacing the MPU is one of the more common reasons I have to work on them.

to answer the question of "how dicey..." if the pavement is dry the entire way you'd probably be okay if you have a lot of trailer towing experience, and added some extra weight in the bed of the truck to help keep the trailer from pushing you around. If it's wet pavement and you have to make...

yes, I agree it needs changing. But until it IS changed, that's how you have to do things unless you want government type people poking into the rest of your business as well, so better to pay it and complain than not pay it and get caught.

"bare bones in good condition" 6.2 or 6.5 engine? 6.5 with turbo? 3 speed or 4 speed? titles for on road use or ORV only? m998, m998A1 m998A2, ECV, REV? You're basically asking what price for a bare bones Ford pickup. We could be talking anything back to the model T or F100, F150, F250...

Double check with a multimeter at the batteries what the actual output is. Then check again at the generator just to make sure. I'd do it when first started, then again after it's dropped down. This is just to make sure it's actually a charging issue, and not a wiring issue. It could be the...

When properly functioning it's something over several hundred lbs of force required on the pintle ring before the brakes should begin to engage. The only time they should need locked out when reversing is if backing uphill or in loose soil/sand.

Gotta love when a piece of equipment pays for itself several times over, just from the burst pipes and property damage associated with them. Having electricity and being comfortable was an added bonus :)

first things first, have you used a laser thermometer or anything else to verify the temp gauge is accurate? This will tell you if it's a sensor, gauge, or wiring issue. Then after that it would be verify the thermostat is functioning properly (put it in a pot with water and a thermometer on a...

If fuel won't come out of the drain when cranking then I'd say you're looking at either a bad fuel pump, or a blockage in the fuel lines. Fuel not coming out the drain of the filter sort of indicates the lift pump isn't working, but not 100% sure. From what others have said there are some...

One side latch works, the other takes too much force and won't stay latched, it bent the bracket for the latch.I've talked to other people and the doghouses aren't that great of a fit more often than not.

I always have to sit down and push my feet against it in order to get them to turn and lock in.

the problem is that steel and aluminum don't play well together. Do a little research on "galvanic corrosion" if you don't already understand about it. Basically, if any moisture gets into the same area as bare steel and aluminum are in contact with each other, it will cause corrosion. Enough...

You can pick up the tires in 90% plus condition for a couple hundred most of the time. The rims are $25-50 each, and the run flats in them aren't usually considered to be worth anything, unless you really want them. You could probably get $400-600 for the pair depending on various factors...

So if this is like the other shelters I've seen or worked on before (only a couple times helping out in the motorpool) it's basically a frame, a whole lot of spray foam, and a layer of aluminum on the inside and outside. To make it longer would likely be a bit of an undertaking. You'd have to...

We know what you are trying to say, but there is no such thing as an "ignition pump" and it tends to irritate some people when a completely incorrect terminology gets used repeatedly.

okay, I was just double checking because I know on my M116A2 the H1 hub centric wheels I have lying around don't properly fit.

I thought these trailers use lug centric wheels, not hub centric. Will the hub centric wheels still work on them?
