    First start of a MEP-002, do's and don'ts?

    It needs to start at operating RPM. It breaks my heart to do that but it is the proper way to start it. You will need to pull the throttle approximately 3/4 of the way out from the all the way in position. Once running you can set the rpm to the correct level for 60 hz. If it’s been a while...

    Generator purchase advice

    I am in the same boat with you. I can run my whole house 3,500ish feet off of an 802. I had to do a little load management but no real issues. When I have the 003 hooked up I don’t even think about what we do. Note. I do have propane tankless water heaters and a propane cooktop. That seems...

    After Report Snowpocolyps 2021

    Turns out she was half right. It probably did just quit. I pulled it in the garage for a once over and the main DC breaker was thrown. A quick once over and I didn’t see anything that would cause this issue. I have had this issue once before and it was a fuel pump. I started pulling power to...

    After Report Snowpocolyps 2021

    I am getting that information from my sister in law who was inside when I happened. I can’t even consider that as credible info. There is no telling what really happened. I am going to have to start troubleshooting from scratch. That 003 has been rock solid for the last 100 hours. I am going to...

    After Report Snowpocolyps 2021

    It’s been a wild week in Mississippi. We had a winter wonderland for a few days. Everything was white and fun. We drug the kid around behind the side by side and had some fun sliding down hills. No snow, just ice for the most part. It all took a turn for the worst Wednesday. It was below...

    802 Fuel Tank Repair

    Gentlemen, I have an 802 that the fuel level float that has gotten corroded and is inop. I had to unplug it at the tank to get through some bad weather so that it would not throw a fault light. I tried manually manipulating it in the tank and it will hardly move with as much force as I am...

    Gearing up my M998 for Alaska

    Remember you don’t have ABS. It’s boy going to stop like a modern car. Also the military tires suck in the snow. Definitely air them way down if you can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MEP 803A Overheating

    Do you know for sure that the gauge is accurate? You should trust a military gauge like you would gas station sushi. I would definitely confirm with a laser temp gun before I got to crazy with the diagnosis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I am not trying to poop on your post but why wouldn’t you put an actual gasket set on it rather than RTV. That will seal much better and for longer. It could keep you from ever having to do it again. To the military that’s just one less gasket to stock but for is that don’t have a motor pool...

    X doors

    X-doors are great in the cold, compared to the soft doors. That look MUCH cooler. They create a ton of blind spots. They kill airflow in the summer compared to the larger window hole on the soft doors. They are SILLY expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    I just put my one system together. It’s just filter bases from amazon and a few fittings. I used the factory hoses to link them together. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    I am not much help with the factory filters but I would suggest you do yourself a huge favor and switch the filters for modern spin on filters and separators. That makes servicing them so much easier. There are several how to threads. I did it and it was very easy and has survived 300 plus...

    Overheating 🥵

    Just unplug the TDM and drive it. That will have the fan engaged 100% of the time. If it still runs hot you have a radiator problem. If not you need to start trouble shooting. Also do you know for sure if your gauge is correct? They are not known to be reliable. Sent from my iPhone using...
