I'm in, need ammo !!! :)

Juan, i'm interested to know your thoughts on why it may be necessary to engage heater fan during the flush procedure. It is getting to be winter here (fairly cold out) and I don't produce much heat at all just idling (even with a big piece of cardboard covering about 80% of the rad) - I need to...

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation Scrounger. Wow - 900 gallons? I guess I'd better quit complaining about my 5 flushes... I've been using a vacuum pump to suck the floating oil in the overflow reservoir prior to draining. The rag idea may be easier though, i'll give it a try.

Scrounger, I'm curious to know why the recommendation to not idle more than 30 min? Are you referring to oxidation removal from the liners or another reason? I'm on my 5th flush with dishwasher detergent after an oil cooler failure (M923A1) to remove oil from the system. I believe I have removed...

Great info - thanks Swamp!

I'm not sure I quite follow you regards a jig, but I imagine i'll find out soon enough lol. That bad, huh?

Hopefully I won't need to worry about spacing or retrofitting. Now that I know what to get, I'll tear into my bad clutch assemblies and see which parts I need. If I find anything interesting, I'll post my findings with some photos. I've never pulled one apart before, so it'll be a good learning...

Thanks so much Simp for the info and the super quick reply - you're awesome. Thats a huge help, exactly the info I was hoping for!

I don't know if perhaps I've missed any posts specifically about this, but my searches so far haven't offered any options besides REALLY EXPENSIVE rebuild kits or even MORE EXPENSIVE complete fan clutch replacement units. (I did find mention on one post about available parts from FanClutch.com -...

Man, that must be some seriously hard snow!

GuyFang - funny you should ask, 'cause I just finished switching voltage regulators about 15 min ago. I've been working on the road and time has been a valuable commodity. Let me give a bit of a backstory to my question: In 2011, I bought 4 MEP 701A's at auction. I sold one, I gave one to my...

Thank you Zed and GuyFang for your detailed response, that gives me a lot to work with. I'll post my test results once I've had the opportunity to spend some more time troubleshooting. Although I thought that I did, it turns out that I did NOT have the correct/complete set of TM's for this unit...

DieselAddict, thank you for your useful and pertinent reply. Guyfang, I have located and downloaded TM 05929B/06509B-35 for this unit. For the record, I was unable to locate this TM on Steel Soldiers - I eventually found it somewhere else. I am aware that the problem is likely in the Voltage...

I have a MEP 701A that is running but not producing any AC power. I am having a heck of a time trying to locate instructions to try field flashing and/or any other useful troubleshooting procedures. Can anyone advise me what the correct procedure is? I have the TM downloaded and have been...

Snow..
