    Can you guys point me in the right direction for replacing a transmission line on my 923a1? I believe it to be a return from the cooler up by the passenger front wheel. I am going to try and post pics. Thanks for the help.

    Should a MEP003 run a 5ton ECU on the heat side?

    Hey guys - was wondering if anyone has had any experience running the heat side of a 5ton unit with a genset? It indicates 100% loaded - I let it run for about 10 minutes and the genset turned itself off. On the AC side it is only running 50% loaded. I am looking for the technical manual now...

    I have a MEP-003 that I changed the tap from single phase 120/240 over to the three phase 120/208 - It turned fairly hard and it seemed like it went past the position before it switched. I ran the genset and got the proper voltage readings off of L1,L2,L3,L0 but the tap changer liked locked...

    Is the CTIS a deal breaker?

    I was considering a 939 dump truck to go with my cargo on the farm. Seems I have heard that the CTIS is a bad deal, and all the dump trucks seem to have it. Is is a deal breaker? I mean, should it be avoided due to mainentence nightmares? Thanks.

    Ok to ARC WELD with 002A?

    Has anyone had any experience running an arc welder with a 002a or 003a? My question stems from an guy from Nordic Air that told me the compressors on the a/c units had continuous run compressors because it was hard on the gen sets if they cycled a lot. Well that got me to thinkin...

    Got an easy Q for once!

    One a MEP701 - the cover on the outside of the unit where the battery goes has a diagram that says its 24v, but there is only room for a small battery inside. I have never seen a single 24v battery - is that right?
