Phil, I tried to talk the wife into coming along, but she want's to take the time to go visit her family so I'll be solo again. I told her that the daughter would have kids to play with cause I figured your boys were gonna be there again. Oh well maybe next year. Yeah, I still the the deuce...

I've decided to sell the ENG-3 Lube trailer (Trailer and enclosure ONLY). This is the same one I stripped down the other year and mounted one of my generators in. I am going to take the genny back off of it and get rid of the trailer. I'm asking $500 for the trailer and i can deliver it to...

Checking the bearings was always one of the top things on the list to do before the trip. Although, the hubs stayed cool on the way home from picking it up. That being said, I'm hoping the rust and crud is just on the outside of the hub and not into the bearings. Even if it is though, I'm...

Well, This morning I did the Doghead Starter Relay Mod. Easy as pie. Also did the resistor bypass for the glow plugs. Ran a new #4 awg high temp wire from the Neg (-) terminal of the rear battery (same as the positive from the front battery) to the glow plug relay post. I also ran a 12 awg...

Read this thread MEP-002A and -003A main breaker. It is very informative about the ratings and operation of the main breakers of the MEP-002a and MEP-003a breakers.

I wasn't refering to not doing the lift....I'm gonna do a 4" lift. I was more referring to fitting the 37's on the narrower 16.5 civi wheels I have rather than buying HMMWV wheels. And you are correct, typically the rule of thumb is about 2 HP per KW of generated power. I'm sure the Hatz...

I didn't think of this earlier, but if the strobe effect is happening when you are removing the load, it could be as simple as your VR is "Hunting". Read the TM on the proper adjustment of the VR. There is a section on there about adjusting it, and it mentions that if it is out of adjustment...

I looked at your build thread several times before i bit the bullet on this one. You did a fantastic job, but it is above and way beyond what I plan to do with this one. I'm not planning to tear into it that deeply unless something comes up and I have to. As for the lift and wheels, the truck...

Getting the relay (or at least ordering it) from NAPA on the way home from work this morning. Read the first post slacker!!!

That's good news. I know that there are some people out there who want to OEM filters

If you want to put it in, that would be good. I made this thread a sticky so hopefully people might actually read it before the start asking about how to test their charging system

Joe, I'm gonna be bringing the new M1031 I just picked up. You and anybody else is more than welcome to use the welder and air compressor in the truck if you don't wanna lug your stuff around.

Well, I finally joined the ranks of the CUCV owners today. I had been keeping my eyes open for a pretty good deal on a CUCV for a little while. I had wanted something smaller than the deuce to play around with, but I couldn't justify the prices on GL for a CUCV, so I just kept an eye open for...

Testing the DC voltage regulator in 5 easy steps Step 1 With the set OFF, measure DC Voltage at the regulator wire that is marked with the red band. Should be around 24 to 24.5 volts DC...Is it?? Step 2 If so, DO NOT disconnect anything and start the generator. Now measure for DC Voltage at...

Now, this is why I love this site so much. Lucky has been having this problem for quite some time now. Now that he is getting into the meat of the issue. The AWESOME members of this forum are coming up with great ideas for a solution and availability of parts to make the necessary repairs...

One more question... I assume that you leave the speed set at 60 Hz from the last time you shut it down, so there is no throttle adjustment needed or idling of the engine. My question is, how long are you holding the start switch in the "start" position? You should hold it no longer than 10...

Like Ike said, the problem is definitely with the VR. Just because you used a "new" transistor, doesn't mean it was good. I've said for many year of electrical work, and even more so today with the cheaper manufacturing processes..."New only means it's never been used, not that it's any good"...

I've never had one torn down that far...are the jugs removable on these engines? If so, a new/used piston and jug should get you running in pretty short order.
