    MEP-805a reconfigure to single phase

    This directly conflicts with my understanding of 208v 3phase. The way I understand it is you have three legs A B and C, a neutral N and then a safety ground G. Any of the ABC legs to N is 120v and any one of the ABC to any other ABC is 208v. With N being a true neutral. I've been using two...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Agreed. Steel and aluminum don't do well in direct contact. Everything I was bolting on was bolting to the fiberglass hood. Well worth a mention that steel and aluminum should be insulated from each other. Edit to add - now that i think about it I have stainless steel nuts in contact with the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I removed and painted the light buckets, replaced a bunch of hardware with stainless, scritched and repainted access doors, grilleguard, hood hold downs, and replaced the rear hood seal and related hardware. A lot more work than I thought it was going to be. Before, and then several after...

    16.00 on M929A2, pros and cons

    I have 16.00s on two of my trucks. I like them. But one of the trucks is an M925 with an unmodified NH250 that serves mostly as a toy and not loaded heavy. Even in this usage the loss of low end acceleration was pronounced. The other one is an M818 that has had a turbo added to the NH250...

    16.00 on M929A2, pros and cons

    Too much loss on low end to consider for a dump truck. I wouldn't.

    Which transmission?

    Ok, another "what's it worth" question?

    Rusty and nonrunner? From zero up to scrap depending on how much trouble it is to scrap it.

    Help with M998 purchase on engine

    Preference for 6.5 GEP variant. Otherwise no preference between 6.2 and 6.5. In general, choose any truck based on overall condition before looking at trivial differences like NA 6.2 to NA 6.5.

    Help in Northern KY

    Any chance that the fuel cutoff was pulled and then not reset under the hood?

    WA to CA with HMMWV

    Yes but.. That only partially covers it. Most states have laws in place requiring registration be done in your place of residence.

    Switching Fuel Tanks on M936A2

    The fact that your problem is intermittent makes me wonder if that's the culprit. I'd hold off on pulling it apart just yet. Sorry, I don't know the o ring size offhand.

    Switching Fuel Tanks on M936A2

    The o rings in that valve are prone to dry and crack and cause loss of prime. This almost always results in complete loss of prime and not an intermittent problem.

    5 ton truck transfer case question

    Its hard to go wrong following Wes's advice. Things to think about - You don't want to lose any bottom end acceleration. You want to make sure that effective first gear combination remains as low as it is. At the point I'm contemplating a transmission and tcase swap , I'd be contemplating...

    5 ton truck transfer case question

    I somehow missed the fact that it was broken and you had to replace it anyway. If you're replacing it anyway, I'd go with something a bit more robust than the one out of the 939s. And may as well try to get something that will increase top speed. XM818 on 11.00s in stock form tops out right...
