She made it! 290 miles in 8 hrs...LOL It was slow going as it is lacking power pretty bad...there were hills that put her down to 30 MPH!!! I am REALLY hoping the new fuel filter that is on its way will fix it. Has anyone gotten a truck that had a real deep red tint to the fuel? I didn't...
Hello all, So I finally did it, I graduated from CUCVs to a truck I'm not even licensed to drive...yet :) I won a real decent looking M929, hard top/automatic trans w/ the nhc250 off of gov liq and everything seems ready to roll...my brother and dad are driving down so it will be a full blown...
I have been driving this rig w/ the spacers a little over 500 miles. I had the wheels off twice at low milage to check torque and inspect. No defects noted. For hwy use i would go the same route... i like the stock wheel look. Hope this helps the rest of you guys wanting to do this!
That is a great setup! My brother and I have been tring to convince our uncle and cousin to buy a contact truck to use the same way up in Madison County NY for years. They have a 1008 and a 1009 they use for misc crap around the farm. I will have to get him to check yours out.... he will want...

If 8800 is not at the very top end i need to swap my starter over and try to fire up the old parts...
For those of you that have used these gen sets what is a no BS hourly/daily fuel useage going to be?
I didn't see anything in the T.O.
I just got a MEP-002A up and running and need to know how much fuel to keep on hand.
Thanks
Jim,
Thanks for the input. I was hopeing for some positive feedback. I don't want to spend all the time and money on this project to have something bad happen.
no, not ignoring you, I believe we are talking about the same thing! You posted a link that had a picture of a wheel spacer.....These wheel adapter/spacers are the cause of our issue... I am not going to recenter them because i don't like the way it looks and I plan on picking up a few more of...
Jim,
I looked around a bit on the web to see what was out there after the seller told me the 8 turn "rule". ( I never take the word of the guy taking my $$)
