where did you get the hitch from? and where did you find a new relay??? are parts easy to get??? thanks

put the ECO HUBS on this baby and the speed increases

So curious question. Can you enable the repeater option and still use it as a portable PTT for team radio setup? Or does it become a dedicated repeater?

Btw It's called canon plugs.

why does it matter which wire goes on top for terminal E?

Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful and a great resource.

Kurt Klopp helped me with good info and diagnosed my MEP803a problems and he was correct. Bought some spare parts from him that he suggested for when the Originals fail. I am in Canada and he shipped everything through flawlessly. Great Guy!!

Hi Colt, i like the RF-7850, i have one myself.. Nice video keep em coming. i am looking for a KDU with adapter, and the CPA software. let us know if you get an extra, or where to get one. Thanks Colt

Pls do a tutorial vid for the 7850

What bulbs are used in the side markers

Keep em coming!

The link for the e-bay controller isn't working

I want some SuperClean.

Nice tool! I can’t find anything for it anymore. I have the long Midwest rail on mine, i should have got the short one. I switched it back to stock rail and fore grip. Light option is the issue now. Tape switches only option . I need to figure out a mod for it. Zip ties and tube shrink on grip. I have grip with tape switch slot, by won’t work on stock rail due to slight curve on front.

Thanks for going way out of your way to show everything.

So is the 2015 Hub the same as a 4x4 hub?

You might consider putting soft starts on your compressors... also newer ACs have inverters in them that are effectively soft starts so you'd have less issues there. Most mini splits for instance these days have inverters.

I really wanted to buy one of these from greentip surplus but couldn’t find anyone to help me program them. Also for the money I wanted AES. Thanks for the vid

Where can we find them?

"Available on the market", which market please. Good job.

Very impressive! Come a ling way from the clones.

Great video Colt, Keep the Falcon III informative videos coming!

This is so cool! I want one now so I can charge our 13kw bank of batteries hooked to our solar system. We have 17kw of panels but a few cloudy days would deplete that pretty quick.

Great Video, what did you use for a battery I'm having a hard time finding a 24V for my generator but mine is the Tactical Hybrid version

Do you know if the S-788: will fit in a M1101 trailer? Also, do you know if the S-805/G is the same size as the S-788?

Could you sew the cleat back on?

Get a mega and test the windings. You just guessing at the moment. If it's burned out get it rewound

If it was mine I would skin that overhang for slightly better airflow over the top. Slightly less resistance to wind flow over the top.

Just drove 3,500 miles in an M1078 LMTV overland RV conversion. Luckily the axles were just updated to go 70-74 mph as compared to the original 58mph max. They're pretty cool rigs, personally I plan to get an old Ford F600-F700 4x4 super single conversion for bigger tires and put a box like that one on it eventually. I just got an old military trailer with a smaller S250 Electronics shelter that will work in my F250's for now. Cool set-up there, food luck with your conversion!

Nice job. Can you tell me what batteries you used to feed 24v to the system?

I watched this for humour value of someone who seems to know zero about diesel fuel systems fault finding escapade

Meggar the generator.

I think the issue might have been the gen set's ability to shut itself down, when overloaded. That is why I would never do a test run with overload parameters. My test would be to run 80-100% for 6hrs or so with occasional spikes in load. The gen set is able to handle up to 120% of capacity but not the long term. Also there might have been some dirt or critters nest in stator which eventually caught fire or overheated and caused the stator wires to melt. Either or, I would find a stator specialist and rewind it. Should be around 1000 if you take the stator to the specialist and install it after. Good series though. Really enjoyed it.

Where can you buy a harris battery

I appreciate the video man. Saved me from having to figure it all out on my own. I used the same 7 pin plug u listed and luckily, mine has led taillights. Worked out great!

There is one single solitary way this engine speed and power is controlled, no spark, no throttle, it is just the fuel. If you dial back the injector pump, the governor opens up the injector pump further to compensate and maintain speed, that’s it. The only thing you accomplish by adjusting the injector pumps is to unbalance the fuel to each cylinder. You’re a good man, and you’ve educated me in many areas. You should ignore almost all the chatter on KZbin and most of the chatter on Steel Soldiers. Wet stacking these water cooled generators is a myth. The Guy 😉 with all the experience on Steel Soldiers, has that experience on air cooled units, the MEP-002a and MEP-003a, that’s a different beast. Its cylinder, intake, and exhaust temperature is dependent upon load. This water cooled unit, the MEP-802a will never wet stack if it’s properly maintained. It runs at constant a 1800 rpm, there is no “idle” like a truck or bus engine. Once it’s up to operating temperature, about 15 minutes, it just sits there and it will run for ever and ever, whether producing 0 Watts or producing 5000 Watts. The thermostat will open or close to maintain oil and cylinder temperature. If you run outside of operating parameters, like at 7500 W like so many meatheads, then no guarantees. If it’s chugging black smoke, there’s something out of spec, then no guarantees. It’s rated 5000W at 0.8 power factor, that means you can run 25% more current through the stator with no ill effects, that’s 6250 VA, not 6250 Watts. The generator would only be straining to produce 5000W at 0.8 power factor, 6250 VA. If you run 6250 W, you’ll start chugging black smoke, that’s OK by me, but it will accumulate that black stuff in the valves, manifold, muffler, exhaust, then, maybe, if you’re lucky, it will burn off after being run for some further time within spec (0-5000W), or maybe you choke out the exhaust ports, who knows. The last thing you’d want to do under those circumstances is to run it at “full load” to burn it off. It pains me, ow, it hurts, to listen and to watch some of the MEP-802/3A videos on KZbin, certainly one in particular where a guy, not you, who deals in them, ruins a perfectly good generator engine, clueless. There are more meatheads than experts, so on the average, you will do more harm than good following their advice. I believe, though never fully tested myself, that you can draw enough power to stall the engine, but never harm the generator windings. I have witnessed it, without doing a controlled test. That means you can overload the engine routinely and produce carbon chuff, and this probably produces the only real life evidence that falsely perpetuates the wet stacking myth. You don’t have to agree with me, or even like me. Thank you for your service.

Better it fails during a test than when you actually need it 😢

Don’t think you made mistakes. These units are rated at 10kw at .8 PF. With the purely resistive loads you used you used you were under the rated output…. I routinely run my 802A at 6.5KW running 100% resistive loads. Don’t be down, you got a deal on the unit and could make that back on parting it out if you wanted. meanwhile you learned lots and made some interesting videos. As others have said, pull the generator head and have it re-wound. Mechanically it’s solid.

Quick question ,do you have any suggestions on where I can find the battery for the Tactical Hybrid 3KW Generator

Hey Great breakdown of the situation. I’m hoping getting the rewind will solve the issue. Excellent tutorial

Shop around get it re wound 16:12

Maybe you can find a electric motor shop that can rewind the generator head or get a quote at least you may be surprise

A lot of electric motor rewinding shops can rewind your stator for a fraction of replacement, my father did this work

Your spare DCS on the shelf should work in any 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060. The DCS on boot up reads the engine configuration DIP switch on the circuit board to the left of the CT's and then it operates accordingly. Thanks for posting part 4!

You can do a stator insulation/resistance check to rule that out. Chances are the excitation fault is occurring because the stator insulation has broken down and is now shorted.

Nice video! Where did you source the cover for your generator?

Thank you for your service

Are the 1040 Generator covers coming out soon on the ebay store?. One of my 531a customers bought one from you before they even bought the generator. very good quality

Great video and analyzation. I have one just like it and I need the top enclosure metal. Someone sat something heavy on top and destroyed the metal. Do you know where I can get a new or used piece? I'm in the Houston area. Thanks in advance!
