Thanks, the spec is the same, but it is panel mount ,screwdiver controlled potentiometer with lock nut. I did check digikey and jamesco. All of your 002s and 003s have one. Let me know if you are parting any out.

With the relatively low torque of the 6.2, mostly the automatic works best, in my opinion. If your stock tranny is working, it is silly to change it out for marginal gain one way or the other. If it needs to be replaced or rebuilt, it will be a lot easier to put another TH400 than anything...

If it had a broken camshaft, would the IP turn?

Several people mentioned the fuel shut off solenoid, and you say it is moving freely. Did you try manually lifting shut off linkage up? On the one I am working on now, I have to do this each time the master switch goes past stop. Solenoid also seems to be drawing a little off the battery in...

Been having fun and learning a lot. Swapped R-3s between old smokey 002 and the 003, they both work in the 002. It will chug along at 100% load with good R-3 reading. I did have to adjust it, as the lock nut was not tightened down. Static resistance in properly adjusted R-3 seems to be...

I'll try that, thought that was just a login shortcut.

Tested the R-3 and adjustment on my good 002. The test works the way I had it wired. I noticed on the 003, the wiper and max resistance terminal were fused, on the 002 the output was on wiper (variable resistance) terminal only. So I unsoldered in bridge wire on the 003's R-3 and am getting...

I was wondering about this too. It only seems to log me out when I am typing. (If you are trying to tell me something, just say so) The auto save helps, but often doesn't save most recent writing or edit.

I have read of Mercedes 0M-617s getting stuck rings when using 100% WVO with one tank systems or inadequate fuel heaters for the climate they are in. I doubt you would want to run 100% in Jersey winters in any case.

Been working MEP-003. Runs fine, makes good power but breaker switches off at under 100% load. I guess these wear out, and this one has white powder on dried on it that either dripped down from above or oozed out as liquid. It also looks to be original breaker. So, I will probably order a...

Performed the R-3 test as per TM but in 120/240. Hope the TM is right about wire numbering. I used the 26f16 wire as as specified to TB3-1. When loaded close to 100% I got around 1.3-1.4 amps. ( It is supposed to be .6 amps at rated load. ) Got about 7.3 at 50% output. The readings did not...

Had to play with the new 003 some more. By hooking it up to house and turning on a lot of stuff, was able to load it up to about 90%. It will then trip the breaker when something (like the well pump or a freezer)starts up. I can see the advantage of a controlled load like a load bank. Seems...

You probably know this, but macro adjustment is done by pushing center button on knob and sliding out. Micro adjustment by turning knob.

Checked my 002, it has 8 wraps around CT1, this 003 has 4 wraps, leading me to believe it is 003 reconnection box. Looks to be original breaker. Unfortuneatly the part number on it(299-3-4790-1) does not match any I saw in parts TM for either 002 or 003. The correct part number is on the...

That was the tread I just read though. I guess I missed the solution in it. Am a decent mechanic, learning about electrical. Noticed the 20A and circle with line though it drawn on top of control box. Wonder if that means something. The tan stuff seems to be from the same desert faded 003...

I may have the injectors re built at some point, but am not sure motor is the problem. The breaker on the 003 trips the instant I turn on the compressor, no time for motor response at all. This leads me to suspect something electrical, with the breaker being first in line. I tried another 5 hp...

Have had a lot of 6.2s, including some civy ones with high mileage. Have had never had a cracked head, not that that can't happen if truck is over heated. Just saying you should change mechanics. If motor is not overheating, then thermostat is ok. It is ok for transmission lines to go into...

Got a chance to work on my new 003 for the first time. Had to do the fuel system clean out of course. This is the first one I ever got with full tank. It was foul and contaminated, whatever kind of fuel it was supposed to be. After filter change I let it cycle though on prime for a while to...

Just guessing, since equipped M 1031 weighs between 4 to 4.5 tons, they probably did not expect for it to tow that much. Guess number two, whoever speced the contract forgot the swiveling pintle hook.

The symtoms you described in post number 9 would call for an alternator rebuild or replace/test with a known good one. Does you heater blower work?
