    AC belt squeal

    I bought a Red Dot AC kit for my M1097, which is now installed complete and is working. Problem is the sanden compressor has a two v belt pulley and only one belt can be used due to the new 5 groove fan pulley having one groove for the AC. I tightened that belt up quite snugly, however it...

    Crossover pipe repair piece? M1097

    So, i have a crossover/Y pipe i removed from the hmmwv in order to facilitate engine removal. One of the flared pipe ends is disintegrated but the remaing pipe is fine. Does anyone know of a replacement weld on repair piece? I’ve seen a few doing a search but wrong size pipe. Thank you

    Does anyone run 208 volt 3 phase equip on 220 3 phase?

    I am setting up a 36K BTU air conditioning unit i bought from GL a few years ago. I tested it with my MEP-003A and it works great. I'm now installing it in a 40 foot shipping container that I'm making into a small shop. I'm using a Phoenix Phase converter to produce the 3 phase. I've checked the...

    license plate mounting ideas

    How has everyone been mounting their license plates to their M1102 style trailers? I just don't want to drill holes if I don't have to. Thx.

    MEP-003 and AC test

    I was finally able to complete a couple tasks with some of my equipment. First real load testing of the MEP-003A, and checkout of a 36k BTU air conditioner i picked up (GL) a few months ago. I've been a little worried about the MEP, darn frequency meter seems to stick. Anyhow, the AC blows super...

    Hobbs was hobbled

    So I picked up my MEP-003A last year with 1150.9 hours indicated on the Hobbs. After putting a few hours on it, same reading. I'm thinking, great the Hobbs doesn't work, i wonder how many hours are actually on this thing! So i went to remove the Hobbs, and wow, found both terminals had managed...

    Test loads?

    I'd like to have a "Test Load" to check out my 003A. Something that'll load it to rated output so i can check performance, etc. Any ideas?

    M1009 spotted in Ft. Worth

    Stopped at the gas station, M1009 was parked there, so i snapped a pic. I bid on the Ft. Sill group hoping to get my first MV, but lost this time. Clean ride.

    sensitive subject matter

    In an effort to avoid runing afoul of the rules which i have inadvertently done once already, (me- bad), i am in search of information. I would theoretically be interested in finding an M1009. Once or twice i have looked at certain websites dedicated to the "rehoming" of vehicles such as this...

    What is that thing?

    Forgive my ignorance, i'll use the "new guy" excuse. What is the red cylinder attached on or near the big diesel engines? Looks like a fire extinguisher. I see many have them missing, just empty brackets. What is it plumbed to? Thanks!

    My first MEP-003 start

    Here's my deal, I'm trying to get my 003 started. All filters changed, transfer pumps working, fuel present at inlet to IP. First attempt, it started, a little rough, which i attributed to some nasty residual fuel in the line which i overlooked cleaning out. Ran maybe 10 seconds, pretty low RPM...

    Suitable sub batteries for MEP003

    So the other day i took a little road trip and picked up my MEP-003. Oddly, when i bid on it, the batteries were present, however when i arrived to get it, they were gone. Oh well. My question is, where does one procure this type of battery, and what is the consenus on which battery to use as a...
