I was thinking of doing this. Did you the change out the 3 phase air compressor motor?

Output of MEP-002a is half of what a MEP-003a would put out in similar operating conditions and similar condition of unit.

In my experience, if truck is in good mechanical condition with no rust, better off selling it as is. Hard to recover the cost or time of a good paint job. And a bad one will lower value to some buyers.

Putting two on one tray is a good approach. But you should use two for starter. All the civilian 12v 6.2s came with and needed two batteries.

The POR 15 like products (I prefer Chassis saver or bill hersch brand for laying glass because they are thicker) are good for sealing rusty areas that can't be prepped or large rusty area like dump bed. The point is they stick to rust and seal it. If you have it prepped for welding ( all rust...

How do you seal the weld on inside of panels? Am asking cause I don't know.

Back to the service interval, fuel filter/oil level,...clogged fuel fitler, low oil... If you run this as much as you say, if you service oil & filters as to spec,( I know you downloaded users TM) unit will serve you. Otherwise....on an old diesel like this, would check oil level each time...

I agree with you on some points. Used to drive a sand/salt truck on contract for mass highway, know about road treatments. Have many trucks for any season. Anyway, am referring to rust on inside of two wall panels and sections. The steel is old, already started to rust and then add heat of...

If you were replying to my post above, chassis saver and glass mat are not bondo, way stronger, very water proof. Can be layed up structually. As to further posts about rollover survival, .. not sure what to say guys, get a Volvo with side curtain air bags. Thought we were talking about...

The installer sounds out of hand to me. They compromised themselves and left you rooted (in the Australian use of the word) over a $2-300 windshield installation. If they were going to walk, they should have put everything back as it was. You have legitimate complaint. When windshield is off...

30 to 60 seconds glow plug when not warmed up helps in most weather. But agree it sounds more like fuel issue. How often do you change the fuel filters? (and oil for that matter) I know you run this a lot, 100 hours (recommended service interval) adds up pretty quickly with daily use.

You might also try Smokstack, it is an antique engine/tractor forum. Have seen postings with your unit on their generator sub forum.

It is a pulnger switch, usually white, plastic, two wires. It is in contact with back of brake pedal lever, (curved metal bar that pedal is attached to). Not much to it and the same as lots of other cars and trucks.

Low coolant light just went on in one of my 1008s for no reason. Good fluid level, no leaks. I suspect the low coolant module under the dash or the sensor itself. Will check it out when not so busy.

When the low fuel fault light is on, the tank fuel pump is shut off. If the tank is full, I would check the fuel level sensor or wiring to it.

2x 002, 1 pin. 003, 701, 2 pin. 802 1 pin of course.

Ditto on checking the timing. Someone may have put the wrong button in it or removed/added shims.

Have some do a leak down test on cooling system. Basicly, you pressurize cooling system, leave a gauge on, and see if pressure drops.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed the TB11-6115-741-24 that kloppk recently added to the TM download forum. It has a few upgrades and notices specific to the 802. Besides a few wiring changes, one to protect VR, it says to use break in oil for the first 100 hrs after motor rebuild...

Am pretty sure the 003 motor was not designed for side load of belt. Often industrial motors that are have ball bearings on output shaft. It is a pretty tough motor, so it might be OK, or you could try to fit in a pillow block on back.
