    MEP-803A Trailers

    M116 or whatever the flat-bed version of the m1101 is. No, 2 people can't move them, unless using a motor hoist.

    optimizer long block - hummer 24V or cucv 24v

    Do a search for a Parker store near you. Any time I've needed fittings or adapters, they have been a huge help. Its nice to walk in with a problem and leave with a solution.

    Anyone ever thought of adding a simple EGR system to an MEP803a ?

    Nothing will mitigate wetstacking except putting a load on the genset and working it.

    Replacement power train or motor options?

    I don't know that I would go THAT far. MANY folks have had good luck with them(ted's), myself included. I just wanted it known that they are take-out motors, not brandy new and even if new, theresno guarantee. I would say the "Richingalvestin's" BRANDY new motor was a debacle.

    Front Axle Spiders Failing?

    Front axle housing is the only one with the issue? Pull the spline cap off and see if the noise goes away. If not, its not the axle.

    More tail than Crusher ever had in that thing...

    Start up problem

    Nah, it wasn't working hard, so no melted pistons. The rpm is a concern, but I doubt you did much harm. Pull the fuel shut-off lever off the IP and make sure the linkage inside moves freely. Do not start it till the linkage does move freely. There is a sticky somewhere around here with info on it.

    Replacement power train or motor options?

    While the majority of their motors are good, not all of them are. Look over on dieselplace for more info on Teds 6.5 motors. I have had nothing but good experiences with teds, but that guy didnt. .

    Winch/crane on M35A3

    Maybe we could do some trading as I have a nice M105 and I liked that 1101 you had.

    Members expertise urgently needed

    Doesn't matter if its an LDT or LDS pump, you can tune them for more power. Minor internal different parts can be swapped over if your worried about it. You may be broke-down and not looking forward to swapping an IP, but swapping and custom mounts for a motor would be SO MUCH worse imho.

    Howdy all, New guy here. With a question, go figure :)

    I prefer my pyro in the manifold prior to the turbo, but as long as you know the turbo will soak up some heat and the gauge will read lower, you should be fine. I'd get REAL cautious at 1000*.

    Members expertise urgently needed

    Yeah, swapping out the head isn't swapping out the whole IP. I think I would do that first. If I have little time to decide weather to spend $4k on something, I will err on the side of caution and NOT do it. A rushed decision is a bad one.
