You mean this thing? Man, I can tell you that I never even noticed it before. OK, I agree, the problem probably lies in the PCB. I'll put the starter back in, and perform the testing recommended. May have to start shopping for one of these PCBs soon. Thanks for all the replies!
1980 M816 wrecker with NH250 Cummins and Prestolite starter.
Apologies if this has been asked before. I did a few searches and did not find any posts that contained symptoms like mine.
This wrecker had not been started in a couple of years. The last time I started it, everything worked fine...
There's two LARCs in town here at an automobile salvage yard, but I think they are complete vehicles that run. I heard that the owner wants $25K apiece. I have a photo of one of them, that I took when he had it parked out front. The other is in the back - have never seen that one. I can give...
Please post some photos of your bridge truck.
My first army truck was an M328, a 1954 gasser. Owned it for about six years. I think it was made by ?International?, if that's possible. I sold it in 1994 in New Orleans. Great memories, but a huge money pit. I have tons of photos but they...
My M816 wrecker developed a leak in one of the hydraulic lines. I replaced the line and checked the level in my hydraulic tank. The tank is only about 1/3 full. I checked the archives and discovered that the correct fluid to use is SAE10 motor oil. I found a local supplier at $54.00 for a 5...

There is a LARC at a local auto parts dismantler here in Lafayette. Not sure if its complete or if it runs. It appeared complete from the outside. He may have sold it by now. I took a couple of photos of it about a year or two ago. I'd have to dig the photos up if anyone is interested in...
Any SS member by chance? I was in my car and I saw him driving on Interstate 20 westbound at the Alabama-Mississippi border at aroung noon - 1PM today. Truck had a soft top on the cab (no canvas on the bed) and looked like it had just come out of the GL lot. Sorry but I could not get a photo...
We are like kids in a candy store. Sure wish that pile of "junk" was sitting at a local wrecking yard! I would drag the whole thing home. Randy, I've been looking for a dipstick/filler cap for the hydraulic tank on my wrecker. From the photos, I can't tell if its there. Can you check next...
