Silly question, why are you paralleling generators when you have a 30 kW generator with 18-30 kW load? What AMPS are on each phase at 18 and 30 kW?

You don’t have to remove the evil runflat to swap rims. Spit on it for me when you see it in the tire. Did I mention I hate runflats?

Be careful, that symptom is often associated with pin holes or cracks in the suction side of the pump circuit when air gets sucked in.

Try this, in the CUCV forum, search using the term "SECM". The few available manuals were posted in threads about 8-10 years ago.

Does your air/hydraulic pump have a cover over it? That cover keeps the rain out of the muffler. If your system has sat for years full of rain, there is no telling what might be rusted up and stuck inside. You said the fluid was "nasty". Back to your parts issue on the air hydraulic pump...

Unit markings on the bumpers is your only option. Carefully sand off the layers to uncover the unit IDs. Post up here if you can't figure out what the markings stand for.

Do you need help with using this forum to find part numbers and sources?

What is wrong with your air/hydraulic unit?

Looks super clean. Never seen a 5 ton with a deuce rock screen on it. What's under the hood?

Action is correct Really the TMs tell you what size socket to use on bolts and nuts???

Put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on it to eliminate the lubrication system as a culprit.

For sure everything you add needs to be fused. And all cables going through holes needs a grommet. I will be visiting your incredible city here very soon and don’t wanna see a flaming hmmwv.

Eaton is my pick.

Dude all your problems stem from not having a 24/12 converter. Can’t hang 30 amps of 12 volt loads on one battery and expect the battery to get charged through the other one.

I would refrain from paralleling until you get this fixed. Can you describe what your 3 phase load is? Load shouldn’t be all between one phase and neutral.

Late 80’s. Back in the day, soldiers would routinely forget to release the disc style parking brake, and at night you would know it from the orange glow coming from under the truck.

CUCV III Tahoe sold today on GSA. 9 grand. Add 1000 tax and registration, 1000 for needed tires, 1000 for paint, 500 for two batteries. Around 13K to get on the road. Ouch.

Time out. Don't throw parts at a problem, that is a rookie move. Inspect the wiring stem to stern looking for bare wires touching chassis.

The 3 lever light switch has a self resetting circuit breaker inside. You either have an intermittent short circuit, an overload, or the circuit breaker is shot requiring you to replace the entire switch.
