    "Universal" Wiring for MEP002 and 003

    Universal Wiring for MEP002 and 003 I have been reviewing the TM for the MEP-002 and 003 gensets since I'm going to soon be running one. I have been paying particular attention to the load terminal wiring. Before I ask my questions, I'd like to give a little overview of my use of the...

    Running MEP-003 without generating power

    Hopefully this evening I will get my generator up and running for the first time. I know you're not supposed to idle these sets, but having never run it before due to it missing parts from GL, I don't want to inadvertedly run it too slow while doing operational checks and burn up the voltage...

    Rise Pintle Hook Setup

    The EUC cleared unexpectedly fast (8 days, first EUC ever) on my M105A2 I won at Fort Polk. This is a 4.5 hour drive each way for me. So now I'm in a scramble to assemble everything I'll need to tow it home. I've been trying to locate a trailer to load it on, but can't find one. So, I'm going to...

    Fort Polk Loadout Phone Number

    Does anyone have the phone number to schedule a loadout/pickup from Fort Polk, LA? It's not listed on GL's website or my invoice. The number they have for Fort Polk is the main GL phone number. Thanks!

    M105 from Fort Polk to New Orleans Area

    I recently won an M105 at Polk, and was wondering if someone would be willing to go pick it up and bring it to me for a fee. I'm waiting on the EUC, so I don't have a date yet of when it needs to be picked up. Please PM me if you're willing to do this, or know someone who can. Thanks!

    Removing blower housing

    I am trying to replace my oil filter housing on my MEP-003, and to get it off, I have to disconnect the oil cooler lines inside the blower housing. I removed all the obvious bolts around the perimeter of the housing, and tried to pull it off. It seems like it's not wanting to come off around the...

    A/C Control Outputs boxes the same

    Are the MEP-002 and MEP-003 A/C Output Control boxes the same? I don't have my laptop with me and the TMs on jatonka's website doesn't seem to have the parts breakdown TMs. Seems like they would be considering the main difference between the 2 models are the engine and generator head. If...

    What part am I missing here MEP-003

    I am missing some part on the oil system of my MEP-003, but I have no idea what it is. It appears that there's a pair of oil lines that come from the top of the heads and comes down to between the IP and the oil filter, where it ends in a T fitting. The oil pressure gauge was remoted by the...

    Common failures of the MEP-002 and MEP-003 gensets

    What are the common failures of the MEP 002 and 003 gensets? It seems like the major issues come from the engine. So far, I haven't been able to figure out what the failure was with the 003 I recently got, but it must have been engine-related. It apparently had the injector lines removed and...

    Working on designing a WMO filter system

    So, I've been reading for a while trying to collect part numbers for parts needed to build a WMO filtering system. It seems like part numbers for filters and filterblocks are scarce, but I think I've found some that will work. My primary goal of the system is to filter WMO from my vehicles using...

    Brake bleeding doesn't seem to be going as planned

    Last week I replaced all the brake hoses on the deuce, and today I tried to bleed the brakes. I first bled the airpack by hand (hanging off the brake pedal) and all seemed fine. I then went to the rear right tire and started vacuum bleeding the brakes. After pulling 12-16 oz out of the rear...

    Where to find brake hose retaining spring

    I am trying to find the spring that keeps the brake hoses on the front of the deuce from rubbing on the rims. Looking in the 20P, I found the part number for the spring: 18 PAOZZ 19207 5167466 SPRING,HELICAL,EXTE LEFT AND RIGHT 2 FRONT WHEEL CYLINDER HOSE Any idea of any vendors that carry...

    Adjusted the brakes

    Today I got outside and did the minor brake adjustment on the deuce. Now I have a nice firm pedal that starts working at 1/3 push down whereas it previously took probably close to a 3/4 push before. After adjusting the brakes, I took it out for a test drive. Now I can lock the tires up. I'm...

    Transmission shifter not centering

    When I move the shifter handle left to the reverse and 1st gear positions, I can feel a spring trying to re-center the shifter back. However, when I move the shifter to the right to the 4th and 5th gear positions, I don't feel any resistance from a spring. I'm guessing that spring broke or is...

    Evaluating Brake Hose Wellness

    I am not familiar with what criteria to use when evaluating a brake hose and whether I should replace it or not. I know best policy is to if in doubt, replace it, especially with a single circuit brake system. What should I be looking for in these brake hoses? They appear to be solid with no...

    Hardtop cab window stuck, seatbelts, and engine not warming up

    Well, it’s been a couple weeks since I got my deuce, and I have a couple issues and things I need to get done. First of all, when I bought the deuce, the rear window in the hard top is stuck in the open position. Thinking it was just rusted in place, I took a putty knife and cleaned out the...

    Removing Sticker on Door

    Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be getting my first deuce. Paint on it's good, except either DRMO or GL put a sticker on the doors. I hate dealing with paint and bodywork, how in the world do I remove this sticker without doing damage to the paint? The stickers on the doors seem to be a...

    Hand Crank Deuce

    I keep reading that the multifuels in deuces bump start super-easy with the slightest provocation. This led me to wonder, did the military ever create a manual hand-crank starting kit for the multifuels? Seems like you could take something like a 3/4 drive rachet or the like with a long handle...

    Better to wait, or just go for it

    I've been looking at getting a deuce. However, the guy I was looking at getting the deuce from, only has trucks without winches, and isn't sure when the next time he'll get one with a winch is. Additionally, he charges a $1000 premium for winch trucks over non-winch trucks. Honestly, I don't...

    Fuel Cutoffs, PTOs, and other confusing things

    Hopefully I don't mess up on my inagural post. I've been reading every thread I can find for the past week or so trying to absorb all the info I can. I've read quite a few thread saying to crank the motor for a couple seconds every time you start it up with the fuel pump cut off to check for...
