    First power outage with the MEP803A

    We wired our yard light only on the grid power side, that way when the yard light is on, grid power is back on. And it helps our local electric coop guys to know if we have power, or are running on jenny power.

    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I dont think with this build it could pull that many amps, there isnt anyway to load that small squirrel cage that much. I could see how it would pull that much with the original fan and housing, small intake hole size and even smaller exhaust hole size.

    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I couldn't come up with an easily engineered way of using the whole fan and air chute. The 5T has a big square hole and the fan had a small round exhaust outlet. If you figure a way to use the whole fan, I would like to see. I was was not the seller on fleabay. Growing up up on a farm, I...

    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I know the 1st one i built had some engineering 'issues' so I cant run it on high, but low was more than enough to keep the window defrosted at 0*F when we played Sat. morning and it did blow all the bugs and dust out of the defroster which had an old motor running a few hours earlier.

    Heater blower motor Mod with MRAP blower

    I am using the 42 amp version, there is a 28 amp but all the ones I had were going to need lots of works. This one was clean, the smoke had not been let out of the wires yet so it got used. Check the donor MRAP fan motor to make sure it works. Pin B is battery and Pin E is ground, they are both...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    you are correct on 28 amps, the heater CB is 30 amps, so just squeaked under. I only run mine on low, high speed sounds like its going to eat through the fire wall, but this is also the first run, so there will be upgrades.

    M931 rear service air conection

    The T from the 5th wheel to the pintle appears to be at the tractor protection valve which is located on the frame just to the front of the air dryer directly below the pogo stick. That would be another place to check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1vA1EnNJZ4
