    MEP-531a 1st Fire up after purchase from GOVPLANET. What to do first

    I did see that video last night! The one on how to prime the fuel system. Thanks for the excellent reference. If the injector pump is stuck... I didn't see that referenced in that video, is there somewhere else to see the work around for it?

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    Picked me up two MEP 531a 2Kw generators and a MEP 802a 5Kw on a trailer this week. Drove 1700 miles to the two GOV planet sites to pick them up. Ordered some air, oil and fuel filters for them thanks to the guidance of the nice TMs and threads here on SS. Will be making one of the 2Kw units a...

    14.00 vs 16.00 tire size

    I had no idea that the Bridge trucks had that mod of 3" longer rods and spring pack I would guess! That helps me out! I will be looking for some parts from a bridge truck: Torque rods, rear drive lines and spring packs. Thanks so much for posting this to help me find out what I need. Excellent...

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Is this another version of the 21SI you had put in before or?

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    It was the "upper one" of the steering hydraulic lines for the power steering if your talking about where it ran along the cross frame member between the two frame rails. I have snipped a couple of screen shots of my purchase off of EBAY to help you see what I purchased to resolve the issue. I...

    Tested the mix today and it looks like I missed my 60% by just a couple of %

    My m925a1 build "Brutus"

    Excellent job on getting Brutus up to speed with your attention. I had a question about the quick connect fittings for the axles. I am guessing those are 1/8" NPT or 1/4" NPT to fit the axle housing? Yes I am lazy to go out and look myself. I had thought to add a 2-3psi pressure regulator to a...

    HEMTT vs M-915 tire /rim compatibility

    The M915- M916s are very heavy. HEMTT wheels are the ticket as they are 10 Ton rated. You will need the offset lug nuts that have a recessed cone that is threaded to ensure a proper number of threads grab, same as what a 5 ton would use to properly mount them. I have seen some for sale like...

    Hemtt vs combat vs normal rim identification?

    I have all my tires on HEMTT wheels. If you choose to run them on the rear the rear tires will be INSET just as much as the front tires will be OFFSET. So the front and rear will track several inches off of each other. The benefit is that all your tires will be interchangeable. This pic is back...

    Hemtt vs combat vs normal rim identification?

    NHC250 Add Ether Injector for cold start. Without a turbo, With a turbo

    I live in Utah and it doesn't get too cold here but yes, cold is not what the NHC250 likes. Since the NHC250 is a dog to start in the cold, has anyone added an ether injector to their setup to assist in those cold days? Now I do have the heater element, and my primer does seem to work, but it...

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    Swapped out the power steering hose that had poked a hole back in Febuary. That road side fix was so good I was lazy and put off installing the fixfor way to long. I had to cut the original tube off with a small tubing cutter to get it out from behind the other steering hydraulic line. The new...

    Agreed! I am sure those washers are going to look more rusted than that exhaust manifold in no time.

    does a 24V alternative intake heater exist? (versus 12V CH48 champion heater plug for NHC250 cummins)

    I was wondering if I go to a big cam intake inter-cooler if I would loose my heater or if there is a need to switch over to an either injector instead.

    Heater core replacement? M925a2.

    I replaced mine with an aluminum one that was a bit different. Works fine. Ended up mounting it with some nice felt around the outside of it and press fitted it into a comfy bed in the housing with about the same angle as you see here...

    Davit crane mods for an M813 / A1 with 16.00R20s

    Given me some great ideas as I am still looking into how to make a double tire carrier that will fit my pair of 16.00R20 spares. I have an S-280 in the back of mine and I am considering having both on swing out "door"arms on the back, one will be outside the rear tailgate and the second inside...

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    @US6x4 WOW all my hoses look brand new in comparison to what your holding onto there. Ruff! Heater is in, I did a pre-test of it first in the kitchen. It begins to boil water in 4 seconds. I replaced the 1 1/2"x 3" long hoses, as I cracked a bit of the braided strands in them getting the drop...
