I got two of them. One works well but the other one opens the control (1amp ) breaker in heat mode. Both nice units but I don’t have 3 phase power available. Looks like I will need a phase converter. im guessing a 20 HP converter will work. Ideas? a little diagnosis using the schematic glued to...

Well, that was helpful.

I'm trying to get through the insulated cover over the doghouse just to get to the bolts. What is the seceret to that?

I have been going through a lot of issues with my MEP 004. Replaced all diodes in the exciter unit as well as alternator and starter issues. I now have voltage and most everything seems to work. following sewerzuks video on 3 phase to single, I took the board off, yes all 12 nuts, and noted that...

Stb64, fair enough. Why would the Width, Pintle height and ground clearance change between the A2 and the A3 if the only difference is the engine as per TM 9-2320-209-10-1? Not being picky here, just ironing out all the details. Width A2 99" A3 98", Pintle Height A2 34" A3 26 1/8", Ground...

Well stb64, You have no doubt given us a lot of info but you have yet to give a manual reference to the difference between an A2 and A3. Kinda vectered off with the 44 series and what not but no defined difference. I read and re-read your posts but no defined difference. Kathadin has posted some...

I guess we are getting close. I do suspect that mine had a 427 in it due to the lower exaust. Yes, the data plate might have been replaced while the vehicle went to depot maintenance and upgraded to the newer engine. surprising that it had the acceptance stamp on the data plate and no MWO tag...

Yes Phil, I believe you are correct as I read that in a CCKW manual along with the P/N's for both the brackets and the light assys. stb64...Not saying that you are wrong but, I would love to see supporting documentation on the references above. Either military or contractor. I have been playing...

Yea, lot's of upgrades and mods. I don't know if it's true or not but I heard that the deuces with the exaust routed under the chassis, like mine, were engine upgrades from the 427 to the 465. Sounds reasonable but no proof. If that is the case, my data plate would have been replaced to an...

I don't think you are concerned with the engine data plate...the engine has NOTHING to do with weather it is an A2 or an A3 as far as I know....I have owned my M109A3 for about 20 years and have seen many sinse. There should be a delivery date on the vehicle data plate. should read something...

Once again, engines are upgraded throughout the vehicles life. Does it have a data plate? What is the delivery date on that data plate? Are there any MWO tags on the driver side door jamb? I don't think they made A2's after about the mid 60's but what do I know.

B3.3T is correct. It's like asking..."how much does a TV cost?"

With that last post, I thought that the box was different...A2 has windows in both back doors where as the A3 has none. I'm sure there are other differences. It is important to note that the older trucks went through many upgrades through their lives to include transfer cases and engines. My...

Dunno about that. I have a M109A3 (USMC) and it has a normally asperated LD465 and the sprag Transfer....I know of another M109A3 (USA) that has a D turbo and a sprag transfer. Both trucks unmolested direct from DRMO.

Check your intake manifold rubber connector tubes and the gaskets. They are a pain to get to and often missed. I have had 2 mules with that problem and gave the same symptoms you are discrbing.
