Long story short, I burned up the inverter on my MEP-831a. It spent many days running on the beach and I decided it needed to be cleaned of salt and sand. Bad idea. I fired it up after the cleaning and roasted the inverter. I attempted a rebuild with the help of a buddy who rebuilds old amps...

Jumped in the 1079 Sunday and could not get the parking braked to disengage. The previous time or two it was driven they seemed to not want to come loose, but finally did. Ended up have to cage one set on each side and pull the spring on the other two, as each side was missing a cage bolt and...

Cypress pass rd? Our truck is actually in Spring Branch and my buddy made the comment he has a neighbor with a 1078... I misspoke earlier - my in laws have a place in canyon lake

When I picked the truck up it only had two (not OEM) batteries wired in series. It fired right up and I didn't think twice until I got home and started checking things out. The voltage reading was reading ~23V from the time i picked it up (it shows up on the auction site pics). On the third or...

I joined SS a while back while researching a 1079 purchase. After 2 years of searching we finally pulled the trigger and bought a '98 model out of Fort Hood with less than 5K miles on it. To all of you frequent posters - many thanks! Your help has been extremely valuable and I look forward to...
