Looks like most of the trailered generators still have the flaps on the exhaust. But thank you for telling me that. I wouldnt have thought of that.

Ive been looking at the auctions on govplanet for quite a while. I'd like to buy an MEP-803 generator. Last month I posted a thread looking for info on the tier 2 rebuilds. Got some great information from the replies. I see theres a lot of these generators coming up for bid. Pretty much every...

Thanks for all the info guys !! Read through the link, got all the info that I need.

Ive been watching Govplanet auctions for at least the past 7 months. I keep seeing MEP-803s that have a plate saying theyve gone through a Tier 2 reset. Can someone explain exactly what that is ? I see most have a rebuilt diesel. What else ? And if a generator has gone through a reset and its...

Have you picked up any that had major issues ?

Does anyone know if theres been a change on govplanet regarding generators ? They used to show at least two videos of them running but for the past few auctions that seems to have stopped. Some photos show the oil pressure gauge reading 20-40lbs but if you read the descriptions they all say the...

I should have mentioned that this same guy bought 3 15KW generators (trailer mounted) through GL and he uses one for backup power for his shop. He uses it for basic stuff like heat, lights and a compressor. Did you get yours through an auction or did you pick them up in a private sale ? Also did...

Ive been looking to replace my gas powered 7.5KW generator. Ive seen a lot of the MEP-003As and a few of the MEP-803As on GL. I was going to bid on one but a friend of mine told me that theyre really not good to use as backup power for a house because they don't have the right regulator. He says...

Anyone hear about a plan to refurb all of the existing HMMWVs with a new design suspension and a different diesel motor ?

Well guys, I feel like an idiot now ! Ive seen this truck from a distance a dozen times. Never standing still. I was driving through town the other day and in the distance I see the kid parking in a McDonalds. I pull in to get a closer look at the truck. Not for any other reason but to look at...

The title says it all guys. Just curious. Ive been seeing a 17 year old boy driving around town with a 900 series truck. Just wondering if hes legal.

SEM and no other. Go to the local body shop supply to get it in a pint. They can match a color if you have a sample they can scan. Done it many times. Cleaning is the most important thing. Use the SEM spray cleaner. Then spray everything with Bulldog adhesion promoter. Light coats work the best...

As a prostate cancer survivor (July 17 will be 1 year) and since I know many women that have gone through brest cancer at a young age I say good job for a great cause.

My big question would be fresh water or salt water. That would be the factor for me.

Im sorry but this is making me crazy. I try to log in and I keep getting directed back to the same thing. Ive changed my password, added my birthday info, and changed my location. I still cant view the forum except for this topic. I have no idea how to get past this. I cant see my PMs. I cant do...
