    m816 Lube order question

    Machinist has the yoke cap worked out and is waiting on a seal, for my conversion. basically what we are doing is dropping the longer extension housing. I would have dropped both if I had found the set screw in the coupler at the power divider. I dropped the long housing with the oval box...

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    why not move the torch tanks to one side-dedicated- and cut out the other for an access panel under tire tray. I have never understood why they put one tank on each side forcing to connect with a long section of hose,,,, kinda risky to me.. no welding truck was ever set up that way... Red...

    m816 Lube order question

    everything in that lower portion is a real PITA to get too, Trust me I just blew mine up...... The seal in the crane drive housing that transfers power up into the turret is unobtainium according to Jeff davis, and when it goes, get ready to retro fit an M936 version on there. the oval...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Yes it does..... Keep us posted, and as for jakes, look for a set of 425s or 25b as they are the better ones than my 25A's same kit, but the upgraded model. Turbo, the HT3B is good but expensive and sought after, dont over look the Swhitzer like I used. in "816 jakes and a turbo" same but...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Yup,, Turbo may have helped, but Im thinking tire pressure, and the ability to stay in power band while downshifting would be the major contributing factors. I dont know about yours but mine hates split shifting from low range to highrange while jockeying the 1-5. depending on the twist of the...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Good for you buddy!!!! I just have too many irons in the fire right now and 3+ inches of snow on the ground makes wallering around in it a little less apealing. Still waiting on parts and time to get the golden crane shaft fixed and checking into rebuilding my PT pump to a NTC 350 spec in...

    M800 series / M900 series drum brakes hydraulic / air brakes ????? Please help..

    yeh, I figured, more so just poking fun with you, but if you were willing to come up here and do the work of pulling mine and installing the axle portion I was going to offer a bed, shower, and food, and some hands on help. Mainly as my 816 is down due to the crane CV shaft breaking, so its...

    Wrecker Broken CV Joint

    Thanks guys for the diagrams, Been out trying to knock down an elk for the past week.... I looked for the diagrams but didnt have a day or two to dig through them all. Talked to Jeff Davis about retro fit of a 936 and ultimately that is the way to go if $$$$ wasnt a problem, but for now and...

    Wrecker Broken CV Joint

    yes that double Ujoint was common in the 80s/early 90s GM too, Ford if I remember was the culprit behind the infamous Dana 61 axle that looked like a D60 but nothing interchanged with anything.,, and the cost to rebuild was astronomical, as in you could redo the axles under two trucks for the...

    Wrecker Broken CV Joint

    yes, Im trying to avoid using inferior tactics.... My machinist neighbor looked at it last nite and thinks we can drop the bigger extension housing but due to the shaft coming out of the Pwr Div I will likely have to keep the smaller housing in order to fit a milled end cap/bearing retainer...
