Jesusgatos check out this TM 55-2320-272-14-1 for lots of information

Okay thought you were talking about the ports on the valve.

Also IF 10,000 lbs is max weight on the front end that is not the same as the weight of the front end on a scale the sprung weight would need to be less than 10k the unsprung weight of the axel and tires would need to be subtracted from the total front weight. About 2500 lbs on a a1 or a2...

Someone needs to contact the brainiac that wrote that nonsense and straighten them out. If 10,000 lbs is the most that front can handle, then all the wreckers are overloaded from the factory.

Like the look of the riveted filler door. What do you mean by only 5 ports are useful?

That add on kit is what got me to thinking about front toolboxes. Why add extra weight that's not needed, just put boxes there to hold the heavy junk you already have. And as a side bonus you will stiffen you bumper and frame up front which is the only place I have seen the 5 tons bend, even in...

Yeah Sam but it's on both sides and that's like 3" thick, I think it's like 1500lbs.

Naw 5 ton if you look at the pictures he has three cables and a wrecker style fuel pump

The senders on these trucks tend to be Soso in the reliability dept. I would start there but not sure you will find much sounds like a (loose) engine to me, I would try the mechanical gage and see if you have 20-25psi on hot engine minimum at full throttle any less and I think I would be looking...

You can add Ms and La to your list.

Okay so just a guess but try this pull the mvs throttle all the way out with the automotive throttle all the way in and try your petal.

Okay are you working on 809 or 939? The older trucks generally ran lower but also used a mechanical gage. Also what rpm are you talking about idle or 2100?

M811 is a 809 series truck as such the tm will apply but it will have a extra tm for the body. The pump you have sounds like a wrecker pump which would make sense. Take a picture of it a post it up.so we can compare it to a 816 pump. In the meantime look up 816/819 pump problems and see if it...

Yeah a lot of times that's how I can tell if a truck has enough air pressure to move. But sometimes it spooks me too.

Something like this? Yeah wheelies are fun!

Yeah bud I think everyone is up with that you need to add weight on the front of the wrecker. That's why we are confused by your other post.

Yeah this is where the a2s have the weights. Not sure why a front box would be a pain unless you mean in front of the bumper. And like Zebadee not sure about this post Ron?

Yeah Sam I am probably going to put lockable doors on the ends and then I can put a couple of the pry bars in with it.

Would love some pictures or drawing of your modified front, have seen several with a pental on the front.

Work and life keeps getting in the way. But I love the new tow bar placement so much easier to use!
