I let the unit sit and completely cool down for several hours, then checked again after sitting overnight to confirm. I discovered interference with the radiator cap and the small hose that is very close to the cap. I removed the hose and replaced it so the interference is now gone. It may have...

The oil looks clean. No signs of water in the oil.

I have not done a coolant pressure test yet. Good to know about being difficult to fill. Thanks.

Yes, I did pull the dipstick while running and it did not seem to have pressure. Good to know about the coolant. Maybe there was/is still air in the system.

I have a MEP-802A I picked up at auction. Only 29 hours, non running, parts missing, fluids drained. I replaced the missing parts and it runs and starts beautifully. I did a 6 hour load test at about 80% load and it ran perfectly. After it cooled down, I checked it over and discovered the...

@Guyfang Hey, thanks for your reply. Yes, I should have said running without a load. I ran the generator today and put nearly 4 gallons of fuel through it. I started of with a light load and gradually increased the load to 80% to 100%. It was a cold start this morning at 30F. It fired right up...

This is exactly what I was looking for. I am getting ready for the first test of a MEP-802A. It was a non-running unit with missing parts but only 25 hours. I have it running well now, at least at idle with no load. It is time to put a load on it. I was looking for the neutral ground bond but I...

I'm IN!

Yes please

I looked at the listing. It is an A1. aprox. 2000 to 2006 Possibly 2003 typo

Looks like a 2001 or so.

Looks like Pvt Snuffy worked on my truck also.

My solution was not as elegant. I used a large piece of cardboard and wired it to the front of the truck. It definitely helped. I have operated the truck in temperatures as cold as -36C for long periods of time. At those temperatures it really depends how hard you are working the engine...

Napa currently has Rotella ELC on sale. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SHE9404106021

The SRW is significantly underrated. I have the 11K SRW on the 2.5 ton truck and with a full drum it is rated to pull 6,780 pounds according to the data plate on the winch. I know that it can drag the truck on flat ground with nearly a full winch drum of cable. I did that by accident once. To...

The Vermont DMV seems to be going through some policy changes with regard to out of state registration applications. In the last several months the Vermont DMV has had some mixed decisions on out of state registration applications. This seems to indicate the policy changes are not being applied...

I have had my 1998 M1078 for 5 years now. Bought it at auction (govplanet). It was in really nice condition. It came from a National Guard unit. I have not had any problems with mine other than some normal age related stuff. If you buy from an auction site I would suggest trying to find a truck...

I'm in. Thank you.

I am sorry, I may not have been entirely clear. The past mistake made by the Vermont DVM with sales tax was completely unrelated to (the Vermont loophole) registering vehicles by mail from people who were currently located in another state. I was trying to use their previous mistake with...

The Vermont DMV has a history of making some very large mistakes in the past. So, just because you got this official response from a high ranking DMV official does not necessarily mean he or she is correct. In the past, the DMV made a huge error in collecting sales tax. They collected sales tax...
