Good Evening, I've tried bolting down with soft motor mounts, welding down, and double motor mounting an MEP-831 generator without much success in reducing noise.....the frame of my 11,000lb (empty weight) trailer is still making a racket. I hoping someone had an idea or access to small...

It seems my pneumatic valves in the cab may be leaking. The machine, sending its “test” shot of air, immediately blows it out a threaded 3/8” or 1/4” hole in the bottom of the plastic side of the body. I may have a few minute leaking by the front tires but I’ve never had a problem, if tires are...

Good Evening, I've successfully had my CTIS working for 4 years....until today. I've been through leaks, faults, and dust and today it bit me. I had a handle-mount break in the winch control pedestal. Right before pulling it off, I started the truck and got 5 lights. Trying to override and...

Anyone know off the top of their head what size the MEP-831A's exhaust size is? I'm not at home right not but looking at a possible exhaust cap I could put on a pipe for it...and I'd like to get the exhaust up and above head level.

Has anyone ever tried to put a remote start setup on this- or install an aux (remote) start/stop switch or panel? I would imagine a secondary switch could be spliced into the existing panel- but thinking if this generator was mounted outside of a building or trailer but the start/stop was...

Has anyone ever tried playing with INI Power IG1000-ASKR-USMC Remote Start Kit Or does anyone know anything about them or have a manual? I haven't found much of anything but think they might be fun to take apart and see if they can be tweaked to work with other stuff. Thanks!

Anyone ever pulled one of these apart? I'm thinking about getting one from another member on here to use for the hot water in my camper build, but I had a few ideas about it. 1. Was wondering if the shower water is going directly through the heater or if there's a heat exchanger in there with...

Anyone use any Samlex inverters? I've got a heck of a deal on an Outback unit but I really like the dual AC input feature of the EVO series Samlex..... There's not a lot online for reviews and such...I understand that outback is supposed to be top of the line and this offer gives me an outback...

Good Morning, I've already posted a similar thread in the 5 ton forums but due to the time constraints of an offer I have and the increased traffic on this forum, I'm posting again... Given the option, which is a more reliable heater, a Southwind 939J24 or Benmar 3050? I have an offer to get...

Good Afternoon, I've been talking to a few of you but came across another idea today There's a NOS Southwind 939J24 available to me for $150....it's a stainless tank and has a circulation pump. I found a Benmar CP-3050 that can be had for about $350.... I'd like to plumb a diesel-fired hot...

Anyone ever played with these? I'm wondering, burning diesel, if they are smokey or not? Could they reasonably be used inside of something like an rv or tent (obviously with an exhaust of sorts) or are they going to make a complete mess of the place? Thanks!

Anyone have reliability issues with these? Thinking about installing one in my camper build to feed the calorifer (hot water tank with coils) as the pricing on these is much better than something like an espar....but then I don't know how reliable/maintenance intensive these are versus a newer...

Good Morning, Wasn't sure where to post to get the best response so I figured I'd post in the forum to which I owned a vehicle. Anyone know if any military trucks come out of the factory with diesel coolant heaters? Wasn't sure if any were designed that way. Thanks!

Looking to install an inverter. Either going to be a Conext 2524 or Samlex 2224/4024. Anyone have opinions on one over the other? Thanks

Hey, Does anyone know what the slave receptacle on the MEP-831A puts out? Wondering if I can bulk charge 24v batteries though.

Has anyone ever considered adding a water jacket with copper tubing and solder(?) or found a head to water cool a MEP-831A. Always thought it would be a cool idea and now that I've bought one (and waiting for it to arrive, does anyone know if this has an aluminum block or a cast iron...

Good Morning! Anyone ever tried fitting one of those C.E. Niehoff N1609 alternators onto one of these trucks? I haven't seen one in person but from what I found, doesn't look like the size is too big for the hole- but it's a heck of a lot of alternator to spin. Figured I could charge anything...

Does anyone know or has anyone ever tried fitting an FMTV bed cover on a M939 series truck? I can't imagine the bows are all that different but I wasn't sure how the canvas cut might differ. Just ideas here. Thanks!

I packed up my house when I was moving from Galveston, TX to Maryland and went northwest to Yellowstone, East across the Badlands to the Canadian border in Michigan, and then south. All in a good video here...

Hello All! Now I was always one to harp on people that are going to play with their truck in water to put the "good" boots on, i.e. no zippers. I know it takes a little longer but replacing is a good excuse to check your bearings and change the grease- and when you get it down it's a 2 hour...
