Now I get why you guys love these things! So..... Did I score? Yes........Yes I did....!!!

Pictures will not do the lights much justice anyway. Have to see it in person to fully appreciate them.

Load test complete. Huge success!! Nothing broke and it stopped smoking anyway. Do need a new radiator cap. It started slowly leaking again. Only a 3 hour test since the heat index is brutal outside. Let generator warm up and did the 25% load for 15 minutes, 50% for 15 and so on. It did have...

My lost shipment of MEP-803A Water Temperature Sensors showed up today. Small flat package that I almost ran over at the gate. They shipped directly from the manufacturer. Did not know that’s what was going to happen. The original one still works fine but wanted spares I’m glad they showed...

Recommend you start your own t Welcome To Steel Soldiers. Recommend you start your own thread about your compressor and it’s issues. The manuals for the MC-2A are available for free in the TM section. The manual for the 7MC-2A is still restricted and is not available here. Looking forward...

Good point! I failed to mention, I will be running a heavy gauge copper wire from the lug to a rod I’ve already driven into the ground. The stove will be grounded to the lug and the ground wire will run from the lug to grounding rod. That should keep things safe.

Load test cord is ready. Storms forecasted for today so test will be tomorrow. My soldering job is horrible. I ran out of my usual stuff and found some 40 year old solder in the barn. Oh well, shouldn’t be an issue. Have some stainless steel screen to cover bottom holes in generator...

100% agree Just wait until you get/want a MEP-803A generator to power your house. Fits nicely in the bed of your CUCV too!! Then you’ll get that sickness too. I love seeing the quality restorations of CUCVs. Not hack jobs with cheap parts. Yours will be around long after you are gone...

Sounds like wrong or scam website. Steel Soldiers does not require a CC to join.

Amazon.com: Truck-Lite 37455C LED Projector Headlights, 5x7, Rectangular, Clear, 6 Diode, Heated, Hi/Low Beam, : Automotive Price is about the same as the older ones.

Interesting design. Would love to see the beam pattern and light throw in person. Heated front is a must for LEDs if your going to drive in snow. I have been running the 27450C for over 6-7 years now with zero issues. Super easy install. They did come out with a heated version of the 27450C...

Made a gasket from FelPro material to go between the neck flange and the fill housing. There isn’t supposed to be one there, but there was a lot of grit and sand that had collected underneath and a lot was on top of tank. So this gasket should prevent that. It’s diesel fuel rated. It’s...

Ok That’s the way I was leaning, but wanted to make sure there wasn’t a down side to doing it.

CUCV 24v Voltmeter NOS Factory GM connector for direct fit. Gauge designed specifically for the CUCV $65 shipped to USA address only.

Solder ends or leave alone? This is for load testing only.

Just for reference for others on what and where the grounding bar is. I didn’t know when I first got my MEP-803A and had to look it up. Bottom picture is NOT my generator. Borrowed pic from internet

Perfect. Thank you for the confirmation on what I was thinking.

Bottom well nut installed. Was a nightmare getting the old one out. (Replacement fuel drain cap was reattached after photo) Fuel fill neck and strainer cleaned up nicely and reinstalled. New fuel cap gasket installed. Used silicone grease on the gasket so it doesn’t stick, but still seals...

Older thread, but current grounding question. Read lots of old threads, but still a bit confused. I think I understand it, but want to be sure. I'm clear on what color wire and gauge size goes to each lug on the TB2 panel. If I am wiring my MEP-803A (No Trailer) to the house panel, remove the...

Installed improved top well nut and the new gasket on low fuel sensor. Old gasket was in great shape and looked almost new. Not hard or brittle. Pickup tube gasket wasn’t leaking and is a nightmare to get to the rear screws, so I left it alone. For now. The inside tank picture seems to show the...
