    Newbie looking to buy MEP802a or MEP831a

    Do you have airbags on your Toyota? Doesn't appear to be sagging in the rear at all. I'm guessing the 802 fully fueled weighs 860lbs.

    Good to know the bolt pattern is the same. In a pinch I should be able to use the spare from my truck. When I bought my Duramax I went out of my way to find one with 18" wheels. They ride better than the 20" which are more common. Those kids do crazy stuff to their trucks and most of them...

    I also bought a trailer. It has an eight lug bolt pattern. Anybody know if it's the same lug pattern as my 3/4 ton Chevy truck?

    I feel a little guilty that I didn't buy from auction. The 802s are scarce for some reason and the 803s are plentiful. This one is going to our off grid place in Montana. If I decide to do one at our house for power backup, I'm definitely going auction and getting my hands dirty.

    I pulled the trigger on the MEP-802a. Thanks for all the advice.

    I'm not sure. I didn't buy it and probably won't after everything I have read here.

    Thanks for the info. I'm hesitant on the MEP-831a. Looks like some of the electrical parts cost almost as much as the generator. The guy that is offering me the MEP802a has three of the 831a gensets and doesn't really care for them. He has governor issues on all three.

    The guy with the MEP-831 just sent me some videos. Machine is running and making power. Everything seems to work except he cannot shut it down with the off switch or the emergency stop button. The emergency stop button kills the power and lowers the RPM a lot but the motor keeps running...

    Hi guys. I just joined. I'm looking at two different sets. First is a nice looking 2002 MEP-802a with 149 hours on the meter. The seller is retired and got into military generators and trailers as a hobby. He bought a lot of 22 MEP-802a. I have detailed photos of the engine and all electronics...

    Hello from Missouri

    Hello. Looks like a great site here. I'm thinking of trying to win an MEP-802a or MEP-831a through auction. I'm located in the Kansas City area.
