    IronClad assurance on GovPlanet

    I bought some welders from them without ironclad assurance. They were described as 3phase and INOP. They were single phase and fully functional. We bought a truck with their ironclad assurance. No mention was made of coolant in the oil. One of the liners had let go, and all the coolant had...

    939A2 hit a bump and now wont go over 40mph

    Made it about 100miles and blew a tire. Good thing I brought a spare with me from KS. Drove it the rest of the way to Socorro NM uneventfully. Parked it there while running some errands with the redtruck.

    M923A2 won't idle and dies when put into gear

    I think you're sucking air somewhere. If the lift pump wasn't new-ish that'd be my first suspicion. It may still be the culprit. Between the lift pump and the little filter on the block is a fitting with a fuel pressure sensor. Check that as its prone to crack and leak. Check all the...

    Buzzer noise

    You have a sensor that failed. They fail on. Replacing the failed sensor will resolve it. Air pressure, or park brake. There's not a simple way to disable just the buzzer. Putting tape over it is as close as you can get. Then there's the issue of if there was ever an accident they'd scream...

    MTVR RECOVERY from Yermo cali to Georgia

    The super 8 in Tucumcari has good truck parking and reasonable rates. Del's diner in Tucumcari has a decent ribeye. Driving at night is a bad idea. All the more so if you're tired, in an unfamiliar truck, and feeling pressed for time. A few days ago I made a good decision. I stopped 75...

    Buying a humvee off of gov planet

    I used mine as a daily driver for several months. I would happily do so again, and plan to. But my priorities are not the same as the OP's.

    MTVR RECOVERY from Yermo cali to Georgia

    The Chop House in Kingman has a really good steak sandwich. I'm glad you got the hub issue diagnosed and resolved.

    939A2 hit a bump and now wont go over 40mph

    Today we drove 100miles each way and bought a lift pump from Cummins in El Paso. All issues resolved with a new lift pump. Truck is now running like it should. I'll drive it to KS using just the driver side fuel tank and then restore the selector valve and passenger side tank once I'm there.

    939A2 hit a bump and now wont go over 40mph

    Description didn't do it justice. Here's a more accurate description - Sounds fine at idle. Won't go over 20mph. Falls on its face and dies. Full throttle wasn't reaching the throttle stop. It was only going to 2000rpm in neutral at WOT. Adjustments made. It now reaches 2300rpm in neutral at...

    Oil pressure NHC-250

    Here's my understanding and speculation- Pressure distal to the filter is higher than it was prior to filter changeover to spin on. It wasn't bypassing before. Presumably the old filter was full to the point of restricting flow, but not to the point of bypassing the filter. New filter isn't...

    Generator Newbie Seeking Real World Experience and Feedback on MEP-805A vs. MEP-805B

    I'd be tempted to split it out into two or more loads. This way you only have to run as much generator as you need. It also allows for some redundancy of capabilities in case of failure. One genset failure won't deprive you of heat and light ...

    M931A1 or M931A2 questions

    Your first paragraph, that combination of features isn't plausible. If it has the NH250 then it is an A0 or A1. It never had CTIS - that's only found on the A2s and the hubs are different. Differences between A0 and A1 are minimal, aside from the wheels and tires. The truck almost...

    Generator Newbie Seeking Real World Experience and Feedback on MEP-805A vs. MEP-805B

    Too big for the application described....an invite to wetstack. A MEP803 should be overkill. Got stuff to run that you haven't mentioned?

    Buying a humvee off of gov planet

    If he was buying it for a toy, then I'd agree with you 100%. What he wants is dependable primary transportation that is safe in a crash. A HMMWV just isn't the best choice given those requirements.

    Another M116A2 owner here

    Swap positions with the ECU and genset? Tongue heavy is good. Tongue light is badness. If you've never experienced it, you'll only do it once....

    New to the MEP-802a

    Bar it over by hand once before using the starter. I dont think the starter would bend a rod if hydrolocked, but your hand certainly won't.

    Just purchased an M54A1

    Those wheels are 939series combat wheels. They can't be dualled, nor is there a reason to want to until you go really really heavy. It's almost certain that you won't go that heavy with a standard 14' cargo bed. The 14.00R20's won't safely fit on the original lock ring rims. The Mack version...
