Identify this generator trailer AN/MJQ-32 Dual 3kw Hello I picked up an interesting trailer the other day. I've seen trailers with dual 3kw Mep-701 generators, but this one has a bunch of extra brackets mounted to it. Does anyone know what else was on the trailer as used by the military...

Hello I just won the auction on a nice looking ctmgsa-15 kw generator. I'm very excited to get it going. I've been looking around cannot find a manual on it. Could anyone please help? It looks like a great unit. I found one of the smaller 5kw ones a few years ago and really like it. Thanks to...

I've been out using the 1031 and just upgraded the go-light on top. I'm having a problem with the cab corner on the passenger side starting to rust, which got me looking into if there could be a leak in the roof. I found the dome cover that goes on to protect the go light and decided to get it...

I was able to finally mount the rotary compressor in the truck. It came with a nice welded stand when I bought it, and it fit right above the generator. In the picture I still have the older blue air compressor, but I removed that to make room for the welder. It seems the truck never has quite...

I was tinkering with the woodward DPG governor control yesterday. I was adjusting some of the settings to see if I could stop it from shutting down the governor when the compressor stops and the lack of load causes the engine to rev up. I finally adjusted the %over-speed setting up about 10%...

Hello By original, do you mean the flood lights mounted to the wall? I had the same problem with no bulbs. I looked up at the tool load list in the technical manual and searched every bulb listed until I found the spare bulbs for the floodlight. The NSN is 6240-00-553-1881 which translates into...

Never mind on the Y vs. Delta wiring question. I had it correct the whole time. The compressor has a transformer to take the 3 phase and convert it to 120v (can't just use one phase to neutral because the compressor has just the 3 hots and a ground, no neutral). When I re-connected the...

It's been a couple years since I updated this thread, but my M1031 is still my favorite truck and I've made a few more upgrades. I've gotten the generator to work reliably and have been focusing on the air compressor and lights. I always seem to be working on stuff when it gets dark and the box...

I finally got tired of all the room the spare tire used inside the back of the truck. I found a great deal on a rhino tire carrier locally. He had everything but the wrench / tool and the clips to secure it. I had to upgrade to 1/2" longer bolts to get it to fit. I also didn't see where anyone...

I was looking at the rifle mounts for the HMMWV. They look like they would make it even less comfortable to ride in. Since I have the hard top I got thinking about a way to put some mounts in the back. The kids love going out and shooting their BB guns and I've gotten tired of them banging...

I too was a little concerned about inhibiting the flow through the radiator stack at first. I'll try driving around with the A/C off and see if the engine seems to get hotter. As it stands now when the A/C is on the engine fan runs much less, so I guess they do push a lot of air. I might just...

I got around to working on the Red dot AC unit this week. I was waiting on the hoses, I had already gathered everything else by going through the packing list that comes with the kit and searching for the part numbers. I have a helmet hard top and didn't want to mount the red dot condenser up on...

Good guess FKAM, I looked at the windshield wiper motor and the two screws on the right side were coming loose and one was gone. The cup I used for the tachometer is an autometer 5204 for 3-3/8" gauges. I drilled two holes in the back to allow the two studs on the back of the tachometer to...

Does anyone have any ideas for combining the left and right channels coming out of a laptop into one mono channel for the intercom? I'll be using one of these adapters into a VIC-3 lite box. I've seen simple drawings where they run each channel thru a 1k ohm resistor to combine them. Others have...

My box arrived today. It looks good and I'm excited to give it a try this weekend. It came with the two plugs and instructions. I'll be wiring up one cable to go into a standard 3.5mm audio jack for the computer and another to a VHF ham radio. Once I have it ready I'll add some pictures. Thanks...

It's been quite a while but I've finally gotten back to working on the truck. We drive it around town regularly, but went to take it for a nice slow ride up through the mountains last week. It made it a few blocks before I started smelling antifreeze. I pulled it back in the driveway and it was...

Hi Augi. Please put me down for one of your new boxes. I'm very excited to be able interface two different TX/RX devices to the VIC-3. Thanks.

It looks like the glow plug is ok, it fires right back on when I hear the fan bog down as the glow plug comes on. I'll keep experimenting with it. I think the fuel valve might be dirty or need calibrating. I noticed something I don't recall on the M-1031 before now. In the back tool bed the...

I've had this on the back burner for a while, but this week found an A/C unit I was hoping to use. I measured the opening inside the shelter and it was 12" wide and 9" tall. Is that smaller than usual? I wonder if they reduced the opening to put a civilian unit in it. The AC I found is bigger...

I ran into a few snags finishing up the arctic install. I had most of the personnel heater installed and was double checking the manual and realized I hadn't put a rubber elbow and metal tube in the lower heater core coolant line. I pulled out the rear battery box and put them in once I found...
