    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    Stick your finger in the hole feel if the fuel rail moves. Did you prime the gen? Do you have fresh fuel at the pump? There is a bolt on the right side of the fuel lines coming out of the ip that you loosen to prime. You may have to prime it a few times to get all the air out. When you first got...

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    If you primed it and there is fuel at the pumps then the fuel rail is probably not opening. Take the solenoid out and see if it runs.

    FMTV Amber clearance lights

    I do a bead of rtv around the light. Let it get a bit tacky before you tighten it down. The seals dont always stop leaks. Especially over the windshield you dont want water dripping down onto the dash.

    AIr system leak, Rear gladhand this time

    The tractor valve prevents air dumping. I have never stood back there while someone pushed the trailer control. Before you go crazy you should check the 3 valves under the drivers foot area. I had a truck that had all 3 bad, bad treadle valve and a bad tractor valve. Wouldn't build air at all...

    MEP Sizing Help

    There is no easy method to convert 3 phase to single. With most mil gens you can use the 3 legs individually to neutral as 120v circuits.

    Can Nordic hvac units be run on shore power

    If it's a 120/208 unit and you have that correct 3phase power then yes. The military stuff is usually wye configuration with 3 120v legs to neutral and 208 between the legs themselves.

    AIr system leak, Rear gladhand this time

    I believe the tractor protection valve should prevent air from free venting from the rear gladhands. I have seen rear anti compounding valves stick. The tm does have a flow chart for that. If is a new problem the tm troubleshooting should work. Whenever I get a truck it it's usually 2 lines...

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    I bought a big lot of cables I am supposed to have some good used ones coming in. Have to wait and see if they are the right ones and the condition though.

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    I have more of the generators than the output cables unfortunately.

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    Looks like this with around 16ft of cable. Very hard item to find.

    Drash/GET Perkins 20KW no fuel problem

    Yes. I will swap you the correct output cable for the ac unit

    Mep501a

    I have one. Tried to use it to jump start a truck a while back without luck. Maybe good for running some 28 volt lights or something. I didn't play with mine after that.

    Use the front panel 60a connector.

    M1079A1 Transmission Cooler

    You could probably get away with a smaller single fan cooler under there.

    M1079A1 Transmission Cooler

    Depends where you are driving it. Rough terrain can be demanding. Relocate something under the camper body.

    When parting trucks out yes. Why?

    Frequent Towing: pull axle shafts, drop u-joints, or install 2nd trans oil cooler

    If you are only going a short distance at low speed you can flat tow without pulling the driveshafts. The transmission oil pump is direct coupled to the transfer case outputs and if the axles spin fluid is circulated. This is direct from Allison.
