    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    I always though the rear axle was driven thru the power divider and the center axle was engaged in mode. If this is the case then a locker in the middle axle is the way to go.

    Bought LMTV... and Got Hemmet Cab

    GL lost the contract. They will continue to recieve surplus until GP has their warehouses set up to recieve the stuff. GL will continue to sell off stuff that they already have in their possession but they are winding down. When all is done and switched over to GP selling the non rolling stock I...

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    The alternators are still current use. The military is not rushing to get rid of the stuff. Parts are scarce but can be found. It is possible to order direct from Niehoff. Expensive and I believe you have to get gov permission to buy the stuff.

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    You can do a 24v alternator and use a 100a battery equalizer to run the 12v. Plenty of commercial vehicles do this. You cant just run a 24v alt and draw off 12v between the two batteries it causes battery issues over time.

    Bought LMTV... and Got Hemmet Cab

    The site manager may have the best intentions and if he can fix it then all good. But dealing with GL management will not be like that. They usually wont even talk to you. Only relaying messages back and forth thru the phone staff.

    Bought LMTV... and Got Hemmet Cab

    GL probably got a lot full of crates, they opened one and took some pics and just assumed all the rest were the same. Common practice for them. If you paid with a cc you should be ok.

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    This happens on lmtvs. It happened to me. Had brakes then didn't have springs only service brakes. Which don't stop the truck on their own at speed. And then they just came back. I replaced the anti-compounding valve and the treadle valve and the problem went away. The tube fins air dryer puts a...

    MEP-002a LED Light Flicker

    Most scopes are good for high voltage. The input bnc connector should me marked with a max voltage input. Scope is like a multimeter with a visual display. Just takes readings.

    MEP-002a LED Light Flicker

    The best way to see whats going on is use an oscilloscope to look at the waveform.

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    You can count on 12kw from a good running well maintained 803a. 12000w / 120v is 100amps. Or 50 amps at 240v.

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    You won't get 15kw out of an 804a single phase. It will give you 120 from each of the 3 legs to neutral and 208 leg to leg. You couldn't wire it to your house panel and just switch over. You need a single phase gen. Find one in the size you need. Dosnt have to be military surplus to do the job...

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    If you are only trying to run equipment, sometimes the equipment can be reconfigured to run on 3 phase. I have my plasma cutter set up like that. Run it off an 803. Motors can be replaced with 3 phase ones. If you want something for household backup power only then single phase is the way to go.

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    803a can do 120, 120/240 or 120/208 3ph. 804a is 120/208 or 240/416 both 3ph. You could tap a leg in 240/416 mode and get 240 single phase. You would only be able to use at best 1/3 of the generators capacity and it would be an unbalanced load. And in 240/416 you can't get 120.

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    If you have to have single phase, 10kw is it for military gens. Plenty of larger civilian models out there that have phase switches though. If you are running 120/208 3 phase equipment you can tap off one or two 120 legs to neutral for small amounts of single phase power but you won't get 240.

    804a is 3 phase output only though.

    MEP-803A Starting kVa capacity

    The 803a will not start a fdecu 5ton ac unit where a 804a 15k gen will start it. I believe the ac unit is rated for 15k startup. Other than the start up draw, I believe the 10k would handle the running load of the ac. Once you get over 10k draw on the 803a I find you can load it 12-14kw but you...
