Running a MEP-002A in a Shed
I have two MEP-002A gensets that I would like to use as back-up power for my house. Currently they just sit outside with tarps covering them on concrete pads.
A buddy of mine has a shed that's about 12' X 10' that he said he would like to just give me since he is...
So I recently bought a used Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 quad cab with the 5.9 Cummins and NV4500 transmission. The last owner was an older gentleman who drove the truck very easy. It does, however, have a lot of dents on the bed. I was looking at beds but didnt really want another regular bed on there as...
The title says it all. I'd like to avoid taking a day off if I can and see if anyone can pick up just one M101A2 for me at Hooks? If you can hold it for me for a few days I can pick it up on a Saturday or Sunday.
I am about 30 miles West of Houston.
Thanks in advance!
I'm shooting a pistol match and a guy that drove in behind me said that my vehicle was driving crooked. He said on a straight roadway he could see my front tire on the driver's side and his passenger could see my front passenger tire on the inside of the rear. So if he's correct (I'll check)...
I'm not sure what these guys were thinking but I'm betting they got into some trouble over this one. I did flood duty a lot in the Guard and when I first joined we were allowed to drive into standing water with a groud guide. Obviously these guys would even have been able to do that. Towards...
Saw this actually a few weeks ago on the way to work and haven't had time to post it. Figured everyone here would like to see it. It's in Brookshire TX at the Flying J. I pass it everyday on the way to work and just spied this.
Today my wife drove my M1009 for the first time ever. She drove about 20 miles to work this morning and had no problems. She went and picked up a friend (her first time to ride in a CUCV ever) and started to drive about 25 miles home. About 10 miles into the drive, going around 60 mph, she...
Are these things one piece? Mine broke and I'm not sure if the threads are part of the padeye or if they thread into it. If it is a solid piece where do I get a replacement?
The title says it all! I got this off a member here who had one on a truck he was parting out. I "think" it's factory but I'm not sure. It just bolts to the side of the body and has backing plates to spread the weight out over the sheet metal instead of just relying on bolts to hold the weight...
Ever since I got my M1009 I've had problems with the rear glass. First it didn't have any so I got it replaced. Then the regulator wasn't working right and kept skipping and not wanting to move the window up and down. So I ordered a new regulator from LMC Truck and installed it. At first it...
I saw this today and was going into Bass Pro shop. Since there was an open spot next to it I decided to make a little mini motor pool! Anyone recognize whose it is or is it someone on here?
I couldn't find any threads that said the sizes and quantities for all the fasteners for the rear of these trucks. So I went through the TM and made a list.
Overall List:
30 - 1/2 in nuts
30 - 1/2 in lock washers
30 - 1/2 in flat washers
8 - 1/2 in x 1-1/2 in carriage bolts
8 - 1/2 in x...
Ok the steering wheel in my truck is pretty dingy and when it hasn't been driven in a while starts to develop some kind of green algae like stuff on it. So I've been looking at buying a replacement. GM still makes the steering wheel that goes in our truck (GM 9762307) but it's around $270! My...
I have been wanting to change out my axles for a while now and I would appreciate some input regarding my choices. Mainly I want the better gearing of a 4:10 or 3:73 and I would like to have the 8-lug 16" wheels so that they match my Suburban and my I've been wanting an M101A2 trailer for a...
I'm headed from Houston to South East Louisiana and then back to Houston next week. I head to Houma, LA on the 9th of July and I'm heading back on the 16th. If anyone would like something hauled let me know.
Well I went to go move the M1009 tonight and it didn't want to start. The starter seemed to be dragging a little bit and I looked up and saw smoke rolling out of the hood around the batteries. I pop the hood and the battery cable that comes off the front negative post is smoking and the rubber...
Hey all! I've been out of the loop for a while and I'm still not completely back in. I'm closing on a house next Friday, graduating from my Masters program at Texas A&M in less than a month, and I'm getting married on May 28th. Sooooo I've been busy with all that plus the full time corporate...
Ok I checked and can't find a post on Suburbans. Blazers yes but not Suburbans. I recently bought a 3/4 ton Suburban from a member here that has the rear tailgate. The back glass got busted out somewhere along the way and I found a new replacement piece for $70 that is already tinted.
The...
