I'm in for a medium. I also spoke with Tim a month ago and I'm supposed to get that last medium from 2011. Let me know what my cost will be and I'll get the check sent out.

Did you move the lower float up or the upper float? You can also jump out pins D and E on the cannon connector to simulate the float being up.

PM sent.

I still need to test the A/C input, but it's definitely not charging. The battery while running is showing the same or lower voltage than when I started, so it's not charging. Hopefully sometime this week I can fire it up and test the A/C before I order the regulator. How common is the failure...

Sounds like a plan. The tank is nearly empty, but I still need to drain it more. My hands and arms are small enough to fit in there so it should be a piece of cake. Pulling the frame even with ETN's instructions are not appealing.

The reason I suspect the regulator is bad is because it was sitting loose disconnected in the box. I'll hook it back up according to the wiring diagram and check to see if it works. Does the case of the regulator need to be grounded for it to work?

I need to pull the fuel tank on a MEP-016B to clean all the gunk out of it. The TMs say to pull the frame off the skid, which involves pulling all the various bits bolted to the frame then removing the frame. Looking at it, I think I can unbolt a minimum number of things that are attached to the...

How do you test whether the battery charge regulator is good on a MEP-016B set? The TMs say to check the voltage on the batteries while running, if it's less than 28V, replace the regulator. I also found a test to see if the stator coils are burned out in a different section of the manual. I...

It's the old Wiki. I don't know where the button for it is anymore (I think there's one in LuckyDog's signature), but here's a direct link that should work: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?62648-MEP-002A-and-003A

Copied from the Wiki MEP-002A Battery The OEM Battery is a 2HN 445CCA 45 Amp-hour 12V wet cell. 2 required (10.3"L x 5.3"W x 9.0"H) BCI Group 51R is the civilian replacement for the military's 2NH battery. (9.4"L x 5.0"W x 8.8"H) The terminals are set-up the same as the 2HN which is...

My Deuce has a plastic battery box. I've read on the forum that Group 31 batteries fit fine in the metal battery box, but not in the plastic one. This is true, they won't from what I've seen. I also have a tmamerica 12V alternator setup on my deuce, so I need a separate 12V battery. A friend of...

I over-exaggerated the dust situation. Yes dust can potentially blow up, but the weather's been wet the past week which is keeping the dirt wet and dust to a minimum. The nearest Maaco, Earl Scheib, etc is over 1.5 hours away, and every other shop I've walked into to get an estimate on has...

In 2 weeks I will be bodyworking and painting my 1988 Suburban. Trick is, I've never painted or bodyworked a vehicle before and unfortunately I have to start with this behemoth. It's developing some pretty good surface rust and has a through and through rust hole in the drivers door jamb. So...

The TM states on Page 2-6 to use 4AWG to make that mod, which if it can carry 125 amps would satisfy the current carrying capacity of the jumper. I wouldn't think derating would come into play in this situation for proximity to other wiring because the wires are all helter-skelter in the...

That's some interesting info to chew on LuckyDog. On one hand, I can't see the military instructing soldiers how to do it in the TM if they didn't think that jumper config could handle the stress and it wouldn't work to leave that jumper in there in all configs (120, 120/240, 120/208 Y). On the...

Thanks for the info. 319, I'll PM you.

Yes, please show some pics of this mod. I didn't realize the hand-drawn L0 in the diagram for 120 mode illustrated the 120V only mode mod in the TM. That's just how I got the TM off the net. If what you said and what I understand is indeed correct, than there is a way to "universally" wire up...

I have the drum/jerry can adapter for my MEP but I don't have the pickup tube that goes in the container to draw the fuel. I know it's supposed to be a 2 piece affair so that it can work with both jerry cans and 55 gallon drums, but I don't know the length. I know I can measure it for myself...

I think part of the confusion, at least on my part, is that the TM says to not load the phases with more than a 5% variation, but I think they also mean legs in 120/240v mode. If you refer to the diagram of how the coils in the genhead are wired together in various configurations, it's...

Can we eliminate the classified ads from the Latest Threads Activity pane? The classifieds have almost entirely taken it over. Same for the Activity Stream. If we can't get the old list of latest posts back, then these things need to be filtered of the non-conversation related threads.
