Have M936, speedo will work for a bit and drop to zero, then reengage for a bit, then drop out, finally pulled out gauge panel to solve this and another issue, unhooked the cable from the gauge - unhooked the other end out of the transfer case. pulled each end, the cable does not appear broken...
having a fuel gage issue (M936) and am reading TM 9-2320-272-23-1 pp 0107-5, checking the wires and fuel switch - step f states to connect circuit 28 to red lead, and step g. black to ground, then step h states meter reading should be 5 to 8 vdc... totally clear. what confuses me is the...
My 831, if it sits for more than a day or two - will start and trip on "over overload short circuit" - so i have to run it "pinned" to heat it up (my interpretation to what is happening). once the unit is warm, it will start and run fine.
having read all the threades i figured the inverter...
i just did all mine on an M936a1, a lot depends on your trucks condition (ie how stuck your old torque rod ends are in the truck) as to how the upper inboard ends can be removed, for sure removing the two tires and the spring top beam will do it. and that is not overly hard, the 4 u-bolt nuts...

watch ebay and craiglist they come up every now and then as others part theirs out, the OEM's seem hard to get to sell direct but the inverter appears to still be in manufacture. good luck. I've been sort-of looking for spare also.
Simp5782, will add a trolley valve to my list of things to do. and yes I have noticed no push even when loaded with a couple of tons of logs and no air on the brakes (just local < 45 mph).
thanks
Trailer experts
I have a M1061 trailer which i pull behind my M936a1. everything is stock. I have noticed if i run the trailer empty with the air brakes hooked up, on anything other than pavement, they will lock up pretty easy. once loaded, the brakes operate perfectly. I have not run it...

I looked over the hoses last night, just squeezed them. all big return lines were hard as rocks....will try the hammer trick tonight.
one question - the TM indicates that when you pull the hydro tank filter it self seals the line.... but what ever is in the filter i assume will...
Back ground info
I noticed my crane (M936A1) seemed to be running slower (hydraulic operations) yesterday, not sure if governor RPMs are down a bit or not, was running at 1500rpm yesterday, can't remember if it used to run just a bit faster (1600-1700?). could 100 rpm make a noticeable...
Simp5782 - thanks, I may consider upping the button a notch and the dual fuel line, I do feel the need for speed, but I would like to keep speed up just a tad on the grades as I spend most of my time on 2 lane back roads and gravel/dirt.
is a button swap easy? do you have to pull the pump or do...

over all i'd say I got a good solid truck, bought from the army thru gov planet. but it is around 30 yrs old so as you stated running it brings out the weak points. so far new alternator, shutterstate, fluids, filters, t-case interlock (that's a super bitch on the 936 to get out)...
kloppk, your post sent me looking in the right place. checked the KU1 fuse, it was fine, but when I went to see if the fuse to fuse holder was making contact one of the leads popped right off, broken at the crimp inside the plastic sheild. made a new end and its putting out 26.5 volts to the...
i need to meet up with one of those motor pool guys and see if mine is running well or is dogging it. i have no reference point, so no idea if mine is running well or a dog... it runs smooth - both at idle and under load, starts like a champ, little to no smoke. but it will go from 55/60 on...
NO - I have a small sawmill (hobby) and the wrecker and M1061 trailer now allow me to go get logs I had to pass up before. I've had it about a year and half, its been 50-50 repairs or in service....LOL ...doing all the dog bones now - this thread was due to going to other peoples houses and...
perfect post, i just noticed my charger may also be bad as my batteries just ran down and had to recharge them. will check the ties tonight in the charger, and the voltage output/input at the harness. does any body have a line on replacement chargers, a quick look the other night did not find...
