Lifting the post since I didnt get any respons on the last input here. Im looking into the changing the alternator for a non-military one and go for a 24/12v converter for the TCM. Any suggestion? Thanks from 2mas-

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...

Thanks for answers My problems with the transmission started when I changed the 12v regulator on the hmmwv. A rookie mistake, I changed it since the voltage indicator was not in the green but I found out that it was the smart start box that needed to be changed then everything was ok after I...

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...

I see that they sell adapters for the OM606 to 4l80e transmission

Hi, Have anyone tried to put a Mercedes OM606 engine in the hmmwv? Will it work or is it a bad idea?

Do you unplug the wires when measuring the voltage at idling or go "through"/ skin the wire and measure with it plugged in?

Hi, glad you found the problem. I also have the 85 and 86 code on my hmmwv. It happend after i changed the regulator on top of alternator. I guess it was bad or something. May it have damaged some of my sensors? TISS, TOSS or TPS. Can I measure on it to see if it is good or bad?

Is it possible to get in contact with Kurt? Is he on Steel soldiers or other facebook groups?

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...

Nice tip Guyfang. Thought of something like that myself. I'll guess that should be ok

Thank you for fast reply :) Is there some way to fit in on a trailer that is 72" wide or a car freighter that is 76"? Will removing tires help?

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...

Location updated, sorry havent been on the forum for a while. Did some mechanic work on the Hmmwv yesterday. Dropped the pan for the transmission and found the electric wire for the PCS was hanging unconnected. Hooked it back on and made sure that it was on right and tight now. Also measured...

Sorry, updated now

Ok didnt know that, thank you for the tip. I thought there were only going to be one ground when the batteries are series connected. So do you think my situation with alternator cable giving ground when the vehicle is not running is normal?

Thank you for answer, Yes I understand that the 14+ tap is to charge only the rear battery to balance it for the transmission and TCM. I tried to change the regulator for a new one i bought Niehoff N3135. When I started it with that regulator it started to come some smoke from the alternator...
