    Need Information for Flat Towing M931A2

    Now Mike if had said a goose sound I would have known exactly what you were talking about. Never thought about comparing it to an organ though. Where the parking brake is there is a little reid type switch, push that switch in and you will hear the sound and the parking brakes set. We modified...

    Need Information for Flat Towing M931A2

    How did you disconnect the alternator? If you just removed the main wire off of it make sure you tape it good so it can't arc. Try to get it started, if you can just drive it up the ramps, if you can't start it I would recommend using the deuce for the obvious reasons. Yes your half ton...

    Need Information for Flat Towing M931A2

    Oh, the technical term would be step deck most likely. Look something like this? Getting it up the ramps is going to be the challenge. Now instead of trying to pull it up, have you considered pushing it with the deuce? That would honestly be a better option than using a 1/2 ton, even...

    Need Information for Flat Towing M931A2

    Check my previous post. I copied the post from another thread. It has the diagram about bypassing it. If you can get it started that would be the best option. Trying to pull it on the trailer will strain your truck unless you use three snatch blocks and have 300' of rope. Snatch blocks will be...

    Need Information for Flat Towing M931A2

    What kind of flat bed, rgn, roll on, step deck, skate board? What kind of pickup do you have and do you have any snatch blocks, pulleys? Did you look through the 20-22, it covers some things like this. Also, there is a way to bypass the black box for emergency situations. I'll see if I can...

    Need Information for Flat Towing M931A2

    You can leave the driveshaft connected. It is just a precautionary thing to disconnect them. As I said before, I towed a 900 series dump from Louisiana to Florida with just the transfer and transmission in neutral. Now when you get it all running it might be a little sluggish going but it will...
