    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    Nice score! Between the 0w30 and heater kit, they must've been someplace cold! Hope you don't need that in Texas!

    Saving deeply discharged Optima 51R's

    Sounds like a good warranty! FYI - The leads and connectors on the G15000 are larger than those on the G7200. Because of that, the accessories for the 2 chargers are not compatible without manual intervention.

    Will the tank be stationary and refilled in place, or do you intend to disconnect it and haul it to the local truck stop to top it off?

    Mep-803a motor locking up at 0 and 180deg

    After freeing the plunger, I spent some time working the fuel lever back and forth until it would move freely. As you rotate the fuel lever, you can see the square hole in the top of the plunger move. Once everything was moving well, I gave it a good cleaning and put it back together...

    Mep-803a motor locking up at 0 and 180deg

    Here's what my stuck pump looked like. The large spring at the bottom is compressed. The fuel lever that fits into the rack couldn't rotate left or right. Took the top off the fuel pump with a 17mm. It's normal right-hand threads. Looking inside, the plunger is the shinier piece in the...

    Mep-803a motor locking up at 0 and 180deg

    Similar thing happened to me earlier this year. The #2 injection pump stuck in the up position and wouldn't let the fuel rack move. I took the top of the pump off and tried filling it with carb cleaner and letting it soak overnight. After doing that off and on for a couple weeks with no...

    MEP-831a circuit interuptor adjustable?

    When you changed the oil, did you by chance add oil using the fill cap on the valve cover? If the oil was cold, it could take a while for the oil to run down through the block, which could hide overfilling for a little bit.

    Brainstorming a Gen Trailer build > mep003a/m101a2

    A couple years ago, I built a custom trailer with help from my nephew and brother-in-law. The 2 main things I added to the trailer were an aluminum auxiliary tank / toolbox combo that I found on craigslist and an electrical panel that I put together with a variety of outlets. The goal was to...
