    For those who wanted more pics

    Please fill in the gaps for me. I thought 9.00's were rated at around 5000#. The military tends to way under rate things, so it seems odd that the truck would be shy of being overweight by a couple of hundred pounds considering a couple of bubbas in the front seat would put in over, not to...

    How much does that thing weigh?

    Air Horn Auto On :(

    I'll check, I may have a used 24VDC coil. If I do, I'm sure I have a used valve I can send you. ASCO, DEMA among others make valves that will work, but they usually cost about $50 or so. What size are you using, 1/4" ?

    Compared to that winch and heavy diesel sitting between the frame?

    Since my phone isn't working, make sure you have the solenoid installed in the right direction.

    CA, San Bernardino, Barstow auction that just ended

    You don't know what you get unless you see in person. The hour meters mean nothing. They are replaced all the time. When looking in person, it's nice to see when "they" (space aliens) write on the part the date it was replaced, so you have an idea what has been done.

    Camp French, CA MEP003A- Who got one?

    Right now is not much of a problem. They are off loading hundreds of them through GL. But that's the downside. Now you have hundreds of them that are going to need spare parts in the future, and where do those parts come from? They come from gensets that people are snagging up for parts, which...

    Camp French, CA MEP003A- Who got one?

    I think th eproblem is going to be less the mechanical portion of the engine and more of the hard to find parts.

    Camp French, CA MEP003A- Who got one?

    Loud is relative. Mine gets MUCH louder without the covers on it. Maybe the ASK is just that quiet? And I don't know if I'd go out of my way to get one. They are nice, and much quieter, but a PITA to work around.

    Custom MEP003 trailer from trash

    I think they rarely pop up, and are pricey. You are better off getting a genset with one on it already. This is mine on the trailer.

    Camp French, CA MEP003A- Who got one?

    That seems in line with what they are going for. Hour meters don't mean a whole lot. The MEP003 is a fairly old genset. Don't be surprised if it was manufactured in the early to mid 80's. Yours does not have the ASK enclosure on it. It will be loud, and rather loud.

    generator to run house and well

    If it's cheap and works for you, no one is gonna argue that. I like the ABT in there. What's that use for diesel per hour?

    generator to run house and well

    You aren't pulling one with an S10. They are north of 7000# on a trailer.

    Chineese Hummers

    I looked at the Suburbans, but they just didn't have the crispness of the S10's, and frankly the amenities were sparse. I wouldn't have traded my S10 for a Suburban anyway. That's a step down, almost like getting an H2.

    Chineese Hummers

    I can't believe anyone would want to get rid of that gas guzzling, torque monster V6, and the refined European styling for anything else. I regret the day I got rid of mine, sort of like the first born leaving the home, or a baby raptor taking it's first flight. As a matter of fact, I'm...

    Chineese Hummers

    They started with the Tahoe as the basis for the design. They redesigned the frame and other components. Although it may not be a "Tahoe" per se, the idea started out as a Tahoe Platform and morphed into what it is now. It's much quicker (and much cheaper) to engineer a new product based on an...

    Custom MEP003 trailer from trash

    Just taking one of the covers off the side makes a huge difference with the ASK enclosure in sound level.
