    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 3.0

    Dang bud, I swear when I look way back, I thought the price for both was for each. I'd have just gotten a set from you. I will add a set for the MEP 803A to the list, as I will need some for it as well.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 3.0

    Got the generator as put together as I can at this point. Waiting for parts to come in before I can move any farther. Finding something that will work as a replacement for the rubber connector from the tank to cap neck is not easy with it being odd sizes. My battery hold down cross over worked...

    MEP 803A Fix-up Thread

    I didn't end up getting to more than clearing the tree from it & moving it. Worked on another long overdue project. But, I did look at it & I think it's good besides the body, as I suspected. Nothing is leaking. Maybe the muffler got dented/bent. But no leaking from the radiator that I see right...

    Yeah it was dumb of me to put it there.

    I'm digging in today. Looks like it's going to be okay, I just need to get all the panels straight.

    MEP 803A Fix-up Thread

    Well, the wonderful south Texas weather treated me well early this morning... It's probably all cosmetic, so I'll be able to just remove the panels & bang them out. But dang, this unit was perfect looking. Just more to add to the list.

    I did do some recording, & plan to put a video up. I will share it here when I get to editing it.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 3.0

    Started digging in a bit more a little at a time after work each day this week. Got the tank out. I don't think it was actually bad, but that the brass well nut was not seating properly being so hard to get at. Was nasty in there, so I swapped it with the clean one anyways. New gaskets on...

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    No one would willingly change. It would mean an entire transmission, wire harness, brackets, and controller change out. Then, add TCM. No fun!

    MEP 803A Fix-up Thread

    Everyone, I FINALLY got a MEP 803A on a trailer for a good deal, so I am going to start one of my fix-up threads for it! Overall, in good shape. Was listed as " not running " due to alternator being unbolted. A few minor things missing. Trailer is in great shape. Did a quick video...

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    I didn't do it, but I have no way to know if it was changed during it's service life. I suspect it was. Allison stopped WTECII before the A1 started getting made. So, adaptations were made for production, replacement, and service.

    MRAP Light Set

    It's all good. I knew about them for a while. A buddy in Mansfield ordered 20 or so of them & I looked one set over. They're cool.

    Well, knocked out something that has been sitting in my garage to get done for a few months today. LMHC up & working with my custom made winch & controls. Will be in the next update video.

    MRAP Light Set

    I would have added on with you if I knew and split the ride! Great price. All the IR stuff would be fun for my shinanigans.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 3.0

    I think when I pull the tank on this one, I am going to make a video for my YouTube channel on it. It will go along with the brass well nut upgrade. Probably not a full walk through, but show where all the pesky hardware is you might miss, about how much it needs to be lifted, and all the...

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    I understand that. Mine is a basic truck, so that is what the thread is geared too. 3116 engine & mostly mechanical with a WTECIII transmission.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread 3.0

    I didn't give up on this project. Just have a lot of stuff going on. It's moving up on the list though, simply because I put it in my garage so it would annoy me until it was done.
