Is GMA cover still in business? I have tried calling and the number no longer works and I don't get an e-mail response..?
I found an auction site that lists them as a going out of business sale...
My M35a2 has some leaking brake cylinders on the front and a axle seal leaking on the rear.
My plan was to do a full service on the front axle and the seals on the rear.
But... I have run into the chance to have any work done to the truck I want for minimal labor cost if I supply the parts...
Went to change the oil and while attempting to remove the main drain plug I "torked"the plug to one side and it split the insert away from the pan cracking it, creating a leak. I bent it back and now have a drip.
Other than using JB Weld, anyone have an idea on how to repair it without removing...
I haven't driven my truck all winter and got it out yesterday to go over everything and get it ready for a parade Saturday.
While troubleshooting an oil leak I noticed, what looks like an unusual amount of vapor from the vent tube.
Smells like fuel.. My pump is bypassed.. Any ideas..?

I have a couple of 3kw generators with the Yanmar conversion. They run great but I would like to make changing the oil easier.
It looks like the drain plug is metric, m16X1.5. I'm trying to find an adapter to go to 3/8 mpt or fpt so I can install a valve and drain hose...
Any ideas.
As a...
With the power problems in the eastern US I'm wondering how many members have been running on MEP's the last few days.
Post your circumstances, what your running, how long, etc....
I'm going to swap the engine in my 003 with one that was rebuilt.
Any words of wisdom from those that have done this..? Anything to look out for.?
Thanks,

If anyone is looking for an alternative to military I found these and just installed one into my 002. Works great.

I'm not sure if this is biological or mineral or some other type of contaminate but I discovered it in my 003 today while changing the fuel cap gasket. The cap has been lose for a while and I run off an aux tank so I don't open it very often..
Any ideas.. If feels like sand but turns to a...
The insulation in the ASK panels on my 003 were badly deteriorated and didn't seem to work as good as they should so I removed all the old insulation and used automotive sound insulation to replace it.
I used spray adhesive and I think that will work find for the sides but I may need to use...
I had some time this morning so I installed a new ASK on my 002. It really does make a big difference. Quiets it down quite a bit..
Took about 4.5-5 hours but I did trial fit it several time before drilling anything..
Now I need to find a M116 trailer for it..
ETA - They even painted the...
I have a oil leak that looks like it is coming from the governor shaft.
I am debating if it's worth the trouble to remove the gear cover.
Anyone know what the packing is made of..?
Is it compressed when assembled so that it cannot be removed and then reused..?
Thanks...
Am I reading the Winch LO correctly.
1 1/4 pint in the worm gear side and 1 pint in the other..?
When I drained it, it had much more than that in it.. Like a half gallon or so..
Does overfilling create any problems...?
Thanks,
Andy..
I have it working, thanks to another thread, just needed to clean the spark plug... but the ignition cable is very worn and I would like to replace it. Anyone seen any place that carries any parts for the flame heater..?
The cable is part number 11641776..
No joy on google...
Tank float doesn't float.... **Does Now**
While troubleshooting the aux fuel system on my MEP-003a today I discovered several problems. One is that if I remove the float switch from the tank and raise or lower the float it works fine. But it will not rise in the tank.
Anyone ever run into a...
When running with the master switch set to aux and with the fuel level less than 3/4 I have 24v to one pin at the solenoid but it will not open. I have tried a know good solenoid.
When I check the other two pins there is no voltage and no ground..
I have checked between the pin that is 24v...
About a year ago I came across a very good video of a guy changing his rear bearings and seals. He used a wheel dolly to remove both wheels at the same time but now I can't find it.. Anyone seen this video..?
