    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    The boom issue with box trailers hooked to the 5th wheel on the 819 does not get better if the boom is over the cab because of the rear overhang of the crane. If you mounted the winch between the crane and the cab, that would take a lot of room to get the fleet angle right so the cable will lay...

    My new M936A2 Wrecker

    On the swing motor seals, before you think about redoing the seals, work the swing when the oil IS HOT, I mean at least an hour, from the sound of things, the wrecker had been sitting for a while, by working the swing motor after the oil is hot, the seal will absorb the hot oil which will make...

    From the above I am assuming (I know that is bad) that my voiced thoughts about --- SEE is not turning you or others on, I would hate to put a frown on your face because I articulate my profound love for this NONtactical tactical military vehicle, so I will have to come up with a way to keep a...

    This is what I am doing now, I am trying to get a head of this POS for a change if the self bleeding dose not work, being that everything done already has been a fight, why should I think things will change with a simple slave cylinder bleed.

    YOU TRULY HAVE OUR PRAYERS, the one thing that I have learned is that OWNERS of this POS has to be into kinky things because why would anyone OWN one of these POSs unless they were a MASOCHIST.

    You could slide the whole X member back, dump the rivets, clean up the inside of the frame of everything so it is a naked inner frame, THIS would be a project BUT can be done.

    Red, The longgggggggggg wheel base on the m819 is what makes it a far better lift tow wrecker then ANY of the older 5t wreckers (39, 809(except 819) and 939 series), the 819 has All the major weight and most of the minor weight in FRONT of the rear trunion , this allows for a GREAT counter...

    The turn signal has FOUR circuits running though it, one for each of the front turn signals, one for the right rear and one for the left rear, the issue is that times I have all four turn signals, at other times one or both rears are out, the wiring to the rear lights are good, so it is...

    you have NO idea how hard it is to maintain the KGR image, sometimes it is just NOT WORTH the effort.

    Can anybody tell me WHERE I can get a oil pressure sender and a turn signal switch, either good used OR new, I am at the point where I need a known good end of the circut, then wire back from there.

    Try READING the -10 tm (operators manual) you would be SURPRISED what interesting stuff is in the said -10, like where the brake pedal is or what that bottle is for. I will go ahead and say it instead of "hinting" like others have , in another words RTFTM.

    Bottle jacks adapters / safety

    The HET comes with a pin on top of jack fixture just for the reasons above, I will take some pictures and post later. I sometimes use them, sometimes not, it depends if I think the jack will walk or not, if there is a chance of the vehicle moving besides up, ect..

    My first hummer.....which one is best

    The reason I posted is that there is a BIG difference between a hummer and a m998, this has NOTHING to do about being specific enough, this is TWO DIFFERENT vehicles, there are a lot of different HMMWV models but are still a HMMWV, a hummer is NOT part of the HMMWV family.

    My first hummer.....which one is best

    Is this a GM made vehicle, if not I think you need to take the time to LEARN the proper names of MVes BEFORE you buy anything, because you may be in for a BIG surprise when whatever you brought shows up.
