Houston area 5-ton Wrecker Experience

[WildernessJeep]

Is anyone here in Houston that has a bunch of 5-ton Wrecker knowledge? I've read the TM"s (okay, scanned them), and still have some questions about controls that are not in the manual. I'd love someone knowledgeable to show me the finer points of this truck!

I'd be interested to hear what controls you have that aren't in the TM's!!!

I'm in the Dallas area. Feel free to PM me with questions, or I'm happy to provide my cell number if you would rather talk or text. Steve

Howdy. I see you are in Huntsville.
SS member Truagg lives in Huntsville and I believe he has a M936 wrecker. Maybe you can shoot him a PM?

Thought you were going to join the wrecker club? Slacker.

Ha! I am a slacker. “My” M936 is only 25 miles from the house, but I haven’t been able to get it home yet!!

Don’t worry, I’ve got excuses.... The current owner didn’t get a SF-97 from Gov Planet and the lack of a title has slowed me down. Now coronavirus has my county on a stay-at-home order.

I can’t wait to get the M936 home!
