My M816 uses the same wrecker body as the M936 and it is 20 feet from the hook to the ground with the boom fully extended and raised.

You can remove a lot of the play by adjusting the lash on the side of the stearing box. You won't notice it with the motor running because the power steering takes over.

If it quits working when you put a screw into the tank, there must be a short in the sending unit. The terminal going to the guage should not be in direct contact with a ground. It should be going through the resistance of the sending unit. Check the resistance between the terminal and the...

I think the only problem you will have is with trying to get up to any sort of reasonable speed. A small hill will be a chalenge.

You don't need any heat if you use a press. Also, the press doesn't leave any hammer marks.

You can make up any number you like. Mine is for my infantry company. Believe me, we didn't have any wreckers in my company.

Does the pressure gauge for the cold start show any pressure while it's running?

You can straighten those bumpers with a 20 ton press. It takes a little twisting and turning, but I straightened out full length one with my press. The windshield glass is easy also. The frames come apart and the glass is just laminated glass from the local glass shop. Is that a Marine...

I have a depot rebuild. You send me the money for the shipping (it weights about 30 lbs.), you put it on, and then you send a donation for whatever you feel is right. Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 920
