You can be concerned about it if you want to, one of mine is stuck in the "Normal" position and the other I can freely move from "Normal" to "Cold Weather" position. Actually, If your glow plugs and manifold heater are working it should not really be necessary at all. It does absolutely no...

Sounds like a personal problem there "little" buddy...LOL we had about 8 or so here, but it's hard to judge accurately because of all of the drifts. I spoke with my parents in Central PA this morning, they had a little over 24 on the ground at about 0600.

You're right about that....the civi generator will not be anywhere near as heavy duty. Nor will it be rated to run "continuously" like the MEP's are. Try to run a civi set 24/7 for a week or two and you'll soon see the difference. I guess taking all of that into consideration, the MEP's are...

Steve, They are basically the same generator. Both are brush less generators. Both produce good clean power. The main difference is that the MEP-003a is an air cooled 4 cylinder diesel, and the 803 is a liquid cooled diesel. Meaning it wants more of a load to prevent wet stacking as liquid...

Ike, I wonder about this all the time!!! I guess you could change the old saying around some and say that "Beauty (worth) is in the eye of the beholder (buyer)" Personally, for a GL, unknown condition generator even with a preview in fair to good condition for the 003 I would not pay more...

I only have one word for you Kenny....Creekside. Those morons could do anything to screw up an auction!!!!!

Yes, the hydraulic knockouts are the way to go. My hydraulic set has the stainless steel punches up to 3 inches (the largest stainless punches Greenlee makes) and regular punches up to 4". I also have a crimping head that goes on the pump to crimp wire terminations on anything from 8 awg to...

I kind of agree with moleary here...why does he even have to own an MV, and why should the ownership of just a trailer (lets say an M105) be looked at as not actually owning an MV. It is a piece of military equipment, just the same as a deuce or a generator. It just doesn't happen to be...

A lot of great information about the pull cord drain cocks and such, but nobody is answering the OP's question. Jeff, I haven't had the need to do it yet, but one way to go might be taking the tanks off and put some kerosene or denatured alcohol in the tank and "wash" it out several times...

I don't have a drop side, but there was a thread a little while ago asking about the differences of the troop seats for the drop sides. A quick search of "dropside seats" found this Dropside Troop Seat Differences. Below is a picture of the rod in your question from that thread.

Looks to me like the rod that is used to hold the rear bedsides stable on the drop side beds.

Gary, it is true...great minds do think alike. You just happened to be a little faster to the mouse than I was. :lol: I just went back and looked at the picture again, keep in mind that I've never actually seen one, but... There are 2 large air lines going to that "can" and the electric...

looks to be an air dryer of some sort. At about 11 o'clock in your picture looks to be wire loom with 2 wires going to that valve that is leaking. So that valve appears to be an electric solenoid....find out what opens that valve (where are those wires going) and you'll probably find your answer.

don't have a clue on the TM, but congrats on the fast EUC and that is one nice looking generator set.

prices on the MEP-002 and MEP-003a generators, trailer or not, in my humble opinion have been bringing crazy money lately. The generators are worth it if they run. But for a set that is obsolete, engine parts that are near impossible to find, electrical parts that are either A, EXPENSIVE...

PeterD, You are correct you can use it in 120/208 3 phase mode to run your home. Using 2 legs of the 3 phase will supply you with 2, 120 volt to ground legs and a 208 volt phase to phase voltage. However you will loose more than a "bit" or the available power of the set. Running it like...

Looks good, works just the way it should!!!!!! Nice video

I agree with Isaac, 1200 hours is pretty low for a diesel. I have one with over 3000 showing on the gauge, and it spins like a top. I am by no means trying to discourage you from buying it, but I have a question for you now. You do know that this unit is a 3 phase generator only correct...

snapshot from the TM.

Warthog, Glad to hear that you for it running good again. On to your question, yes, from looking at the print you showed, the L0 is tied to the frame. Where that connection is, I have no idea. Since you are talking about hooking up a non-SDS system, you will need to find it and isolate it...
