Thanks for the information. I just hate using heat on engine shafts. I think your right though. They must have used some sort of gear or shaft Loctite to keep that bushing on tight ! I guess I'll have to use some heat to get the adhesive to loosen up. I recently bought this MEP-531. It had a bad...

I have had that happen to me before. You basically took off the surface hardening with the rust. The surface hardening is only a few thousandths thick. The bearings will wear real fast now. Sorry !

I've noticed that also. I think there is trapped air pockets in the Hydraulic Head. I know the system is suppose to be self-purging but I think on some model injection pumps it's more of a problem then others. Once it fires off and starts to get high pressure fuel all the little air pockets go...

And I thought our roads where bad ! Your roads take the main prize for being the worst !

Though I don't feel law enforcement needs an APC, I still don't want to see them destroyed ! They should sell them to us !

I have the bad back to remember all those "Glory Days" ! Don't need the hunk of junk that gave it to me !

Use a scotch pad or 2000 grit crocus cloth.

Does anyone know how to remove the drive coupler off the engine shaft ? This is the one that has a flexible coupling between the alternator and engine. I've tried a puller and slide hammer and nothing budges this thing ! I of course removed the two set screws and still nothing. It looks like the...

I recognize that Heavy Tow bar from my M60A1 Tank days. We used the heavy tracked tank recovery vehicle to tow it. Yes it took 3 men to man handle that thing into position ! I had the chance to buy one here last month and there is no way I would have or need that thing again !

Very true !

That's the one I was talking about ! He copied it from the Stryker mounting.

There are plenty of pictures of how others have mounted their tow-bars. I just have them on my bad computer ! Just keep searching. There is a really cool mounting unit from a Stryker I believe that is all aluminum. It has half circles cut out and the matching circle comes down as a clamp to hold...

Like Isaac said, that is NOT a cheap switch ! It is a quality "made in America" switch that probably cost the military $200.00 . You will find almost everything on these generators is top notch quality. The problems lie with their over-engineering. To much redundancy in everything, and overly...

That's why my wife had broken up our trip into 300 mile segments a day. I can only handle setting in that truck for a few hours at a time before the pain gets too bad. I suppose once the boy is off to college I can get those nice captains chairs ! Either that or actually buy a newer crewcab...

Now take a steam cleaner to that body and engine. I also put engine degreaser all over the whole truck and engine. Then I got that steam cleaner really hot. It took me 8 hours to thoroughly clean my truck. I then went after it with a wire wheel and sander for another week. Then used a good...

My old journeyman I learned gears from was in the Korean War. He said the old M35 gassers would overheat so bad they made a standing order that they could only be driven for 1 hour at a time then they must have a cool down period. This was driving through rough hilling terrain. At least the...

You could do what "Bonedoc" did but if your tight on cash you can use DOT Poly air line.

After reading this last post, just remember there is even more problems you will be facing with this set-up. Really, save yourself some grief and get a MEP that is already to run 120/240 AC volts.

The engine could turn 8,000rpm's but the drivetrain wouldn't like it ! That Spicer 3053 would not like turning that fast at all ! Not to mention the transfer-case or drivelines or differentials ! Remember those high RPM engines are coupled to high tolerance, fine tooth, small gear transmissions...

First off, hello ! Second, why are you going from 24 volt DC to 120/240 AC ? Just get a regular MEP-002A or MEP-003A or one of the newer MEP-802 or MEP 803 units. Save yourself a ton of grief !
