Folks, it has been a good long while since I have interacted with you and I promise that I will post more pics as I get the time... My truck is back on the road after being out of commission for three months. We still have a few bugs (leaks) to address but I figured that I would post some...

I have put up with crappy steering long enough. I am going to try to document the entire process once I get started. I received all of the crossover parts from ORD a few weeks ago but the PSC box took a little longer to arrive. Look what came today! Soon, I should be steering comparable to...

I am not welding tabs to my ARB diff cover. Does anyone have a hydro assist ram mounted and functioning that I can look at?

Trying to decide if I should replace my tie rod once I go hydro assist with an ORD tie rod. At present, I have the factory tie rod with the damper on it. Would the hydraulic cylinder on a new ORD tie rod serve as a damper as well thus negating the need for the stock damper? My truck drives...

Some of you know the truck. It is my converted M1031 to an M1028. It is sitting on a 6” ORD lift with HMMWV 37’s. Weight is about 6000 pounds. I am ready to have this shipped asap. Email me at jgrant68(at)mac.com and we can talk about what it will cost me. I am due in Utah on January 17th...

OK guys, I have beat myself to death trying to figure out my options and I keep coming back to the manual trans. What I would like to know is if anyone has done the NV4500 swap using an NP205 transfer case that has been TWIN STICKED?? It looks like my two sticks will not interfere with the...

So I just replaced my very defunct speedometer with a working one with about the same mileage. The speedometer is now intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Can anyone offer up any potential causes for this? What have I missed?

Just wondering if any of the tunnel gensets made by Panda Defense (German) have made it out of the supply chain yet? If you have any experience with them, please let me know. I am contemplating buying one... Pics for reference.

Will my SRW rotors fit the dually hubs? Are they the same?

I know that there are a few threads regarding lifting these vehicles. I plan to post a lot of before, during, and after build pics. My m1031 has just over 18,000 miles on it and the truck is in good shape. Getting rid of the utility body is kind of bittersweet for me. As cool as it would be to...

I couldn't figure out a better way to put it to the test than to put a resistive load bank on it and see what we could get out of it. The test was done running it in three phase because we wanted to equally balance the load. It produced a clean 11,700 watts at 97% load. So we decided to see how...

I'm wondering if an additional muffler could be added to further reduce the noise level. I've found the correct size coupling that will screw onto the existing muffler. I thought about eliminating the terrible and poorly designed rain cap on my MEP-803 by welding an 12" piece of muffler pipe to...

Some of you have followed my thread showing how I permanently installed my 803 as a whole house backup generator. Now that my project is nearly complete, I have began another quest to replace the manual frequency control cable with an electromechanical means of auto regulating the frequency with...

Found the belt I need for my MEP-803A! I'm sure somewhere it's been asked but I'm looking for a Gates part number or belt length for a suitable replacement V-belt. I'm in the process of collecting up a few spare parts, filters, etc. and want an extra belt for my stash...

I decided that this is going to be my 15 year home and that we are done moving so I wanted a more permanent installation of my 10kW MEP-803A. I wanted a safe and legal means of connecting it directly to my service panel so that my wife can just throw one lever to restore power after starting the...

I have a 2100 square foot total electric home. It is well insulated, 2007 construction. I have a heat pump for heat. Will the 803a be a fairly reliable whole house generator with my home being total electric? I had an 802a at my previous house but we had natural gas heat. The little 802a...

Hey folks, not sure if this is my first post here or not as I have lurked and mostly used this site for research. My question is, if you had the opportunity to obtain a few spare parts for your MEP-802A, what parts would you want to have as spares? I may have the chance to obtain some parts but...
