    Need alittle help concerning Gensets

    Ike, you're not really disagreeing with me. The Lombardini engine is a commercial engine, yes it is newer, but it is still not rated for 24/7 operation. While the Onan engine on the MEP's was designed for military use, and they found a use for it on their civilian products as well. They are...

    not MV related, but mine is a two stage "Comfort Aire" heat pump with the desuperheater as well....FABULOUS!!! This will be my 3rd winter with it, and it's already saved me enough money to almost pay for itself (I have connections in the business, so I got it and had it installed cheap...at...

    Mechanicsburg Recovery 9-2-09

    You'll be better off taking both the 1/2 and the 9/16 hex with you. For the square plugs you should just be able to use your 1/2 drive ratchet for those. My tranny is 9/16 hex and the transfer on mine is 1/2, so you be the judge on what to take...LOL Good Luck and god speed on a save...

    Redundancy is exactly why they have so many fuel pumps. In the field, you can have a fuel pump fail, but the odds of both of them failing at the same time...pretty slim. It'll keep you going until you get to do some maintenance on it. The two main pumps are just that, they feed the IP with...

    Reconfiguring MEP-006A GenSet

    I don't want to talk anybody out of a big honkin toy like the MEP-006. But with diesel generators, bigger is not always better. I'm a firm believer in having more power generating capabilities than you will need, but you have to be careful with wet stacking and diesel engines. Eventually all...

    Reconfiguring MEP-006A GenSet

    You cannot get 100% output when it's rewired for 120/240 single phase operation. That is a 3 phase generator head and is not would for the proper voltages to be able to get 100% output at 120/240. The smaller sets up to the MEP-003a 10KW sets are wired and configured to allow this. However...

    Engine Oil Level Rising - M35A2

    your picture shows the ether injection system (tall orange/red propane looking cylinder on the firewall), which means the flame heater is not on that truck

    Well, the oil leak sounds simple enough...one of mine was leaking around that valve as well, I just took the hose from it's storage connector on the upright angle and gave the valve another turn into the pan to tighten it up some. Yours sounds equally as simple. Your disconnected fuel line, on...

    Need alittle help concerning Gensets

    From what you described, the fuel lines would be my only place for concern...other than the oil leak of course. Where is the leak located? What fuel lines are off and from where? Are they just off of the tank, are they off of the IP or the filters? As long as the steel lines on the IP are...

    need help with turn signals

    poppop, That info helps out some, but I think you are confusing the stop light circuit hot wire and the turn signal circuit hot wire (they are seperate circuits and wires). As you said, pin 22 goes hot through the stop light switch. The turn signal wire (460-461) is pin "J". As long as you...

    need help with turn signals

    I didn't see your latest post, you'll need to put a jumper between the #15 wire and the 460-461 wire to test the turn signals, the 22 wire is for the stop lights only. After re-reading your original post and your last post, if you jump 15 to 460-461 and you have turn signals, then you probably...

    need help with turn signals

    Have you checked the flasher and the ground for the flasher? looking at the schematic, #22 is the stop light input, should have 24 volts on it, when you have the three lever switch in service drive and or stop light position (I think). #460-461 is the turn signal input, should also have 24...

    WTB: Electric wiper motor kit

    Armada, To move the wiper "park" position to the right side is pretty easy. Looking up between the windshield center column and the wiper bracket, you'll see the motor mounting stud and an eccentric offset arm that actually moves the wiper arms. When the wipers are parked to the right, that...
