Hi everyone,
Are there any European users of the MEP 803a genset here? I’m hoping to get some advice on running it at 50Hz and 230V 3-phase, as we use here.
I’ve been able to adjust the frequency to around 55Hz and voltage to 215V using the knobs, but I’d really like to get it as close as...
Hi, im thinking of replacing the old TCM in my Hmmwv m1045a2 with a TCM from US shift. Im having some trouble with my TCM and it is hard to troubleshoot the origininal TCM, I have tried to jump it to get fault codes but it makes no sense. So I think it is time to upgrade to a modern TCM
My...
Hi,
How hard is it to get hold of an m1030m1 spare engine? Will the engine fit in a regular Kawasaki KLR650? Im interested in putting the diesel engine in my motorcycle if it is possible to modify the civilian KLR
Hi, i was wondering if it is possible to remove the forwarded snout on the m11xx series of the humvees to get a "flusher" look. It looks like the m11xx series have a longer radiator. So I guess there must be done som modifications to it
I want the latest generation humvee but I dont like the...
Hi,
Is it possible to tune up the voltage on 3phase a little bit? It says 120v/208v on the swtich. When i turn up the voltage knob to max it give me around 210-215v. I would have hoped to get it up to 230v since that is the voltage we use in Europe
Any tips and tricks?
Hi,
Started up my new MEP-803a yesterday and it ran OK. Noticed the diesel return leaks in the fuel line i marked it the pictures. Is it possible to buy this fuel line new? Or can I put on a transparent fuel line over the steel line with a clamp on?
Its seems weird that the clothed fuel line...
Hi,
I just won a gentrailer on ironplanet. It has a m116a3 trailer and mep 803a generator. Im planning to pick it up on a "car" trailer and my concerns are that the m116a3 is wider than my car trailer.
Do someone here have the measurement from outer tire to outer tire? It would be much...

First problem is that my transmission is in "limp mode" only does 1-2 gear. I have put the transmission in diagnostic mode with a "jumper" and the code is 7-3 that says problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid. I have cheked the wiring and cant...
Hi,
I just started having problem with firing up the hmmwv. Sometimes it fires right up and sometimes it is just pouring white smoke out of exhaust and no start. I got the truck for about 3months ago and when I first got it cranked maybe 10 seconds on new fresh batteries and fired up, poured...
Hi,
I think my Hmmwv m1045a2 went into limp mode. It happend after the authorities had them at the brake rollers and triend the brakes. Noticed it will only shift to second gear. Tried Drive and Overdrive no difference
Any tips? Do you know how the transmission and transfer case should be set...
Hi,

The rear lights are ok before I touch the brake pedal, but when I touch the brake pedal, there is no lights on the lefts side but both bulbs light on the right side. When I let go of the brakepedal the two small...
Hi,
Im planning on chaning my powerplant in the HMMWV to the turbo engine, 4l80E transmission and 242 transfer case. I see they sell cutouts like this
I know I need :
TCM, going with an aftermarket so I dont need to change the wiring harness
A2 Driveshafts
New 4speed shifter
Maybe some new...
Hi,
Can this turbo setup be transfered over to my 6.5GEP engine? Is it plug and play or does it need some tuning with higher diesel pressure etc? From a 2001 express van
Hi,
Some different questions about HMMWVS
What HMMWV models have the 12K setup as default? What models have the turbo engine as default? What models have 4l80e transmission as default? Does the newer HMMWVs have ABS brakes?
Thank you
Hi,

What do you think ...
