    MEP-831a Recommendation for spares kit contents

    Update - apparently I'm a bit addicted at this point... I bought an excellent MEP-802a and an MEP-803a.. neither ran when I brought home, but within an hour had both going. I see why everyone says the 802 is the backup unit to the 831... my God it's awesome... Sure lucky I have such a...

    M936 wrecker / NH250 water pump pouring water

    Got a better look at this issue, it's leaking from around the shaft, not around the perimeter of the pump. Also it pours out as fast as I can fill it.

    M936 wrecker / NH250 water pump pouring water

    I recently changed all the belts on our m936 wrecker. This truck doesn't get tons of use but is started every other day or so. Today we used it to flat tow an m1085 LMTV about 2 miles to a storage yard (I know it's undesirable to flat tow the lmtv) when we got there the water pump on the 936...

    MEP831A 6 hours No Start, Any First Start Gotchas?

    I'm thoroughly convinced that you won't get resolution until you reach out... the second you do, it pops in your head.. AND Anything with low hours/miles in the surplus channel has a manufacturing defect. I bought an m1088 with 20 miles once... thought.. wtf.. turns out the check valves on...
