Where do you check the fluid levels on the front winch of a M816? I know someone asked this not long ago but I never saw it answered and I cannot find it under "search". The worm gear side has a level check plug down towards the bottom but the only plug I can find on the other side is 2/3rds...

Don't forget a big towel to wipe that silly grin off your face!

Look for a bad ground. All that sending unit does is provide a ground connection for the guage. You do know that there is an access panel in the bed?

Great idea and good video. One point: shouldn't you be wearing gloves when you pull on the cable?

Some of you were asking when they would be in your city. I just happened to find their schedule.

Oak If they charged you for oak, you might want to go back and argue with them.

The beauty of using air for brakes is that it doesn't matter if one leaks a little. They will still work just fine. The same goes for the Air-O-Matic.

Could you post a pic? I would love to see what it looks like.

My guess would be a roller bearing. When the worn bearings get to a worn place on the race, you get the shutter. It could take a second for the rollers to come around to the worn place on the race, maybe?

I hope mine turns out looking that nice. I have just started painting. The bed is going to be the hard part. I was wondering how to remove all the old paint from the tread plate when a friend of mine started on it with a 6" cup brush. It's amazing how good a job it does and it really doesn't...

Nice truck. I just got mine a week ago. I have a question for someone: what is the rope for? I have 2400 feet of new rope and don't even know what it is for. Jim

Don't forget to raise the landing gear after you make sure the kingpin is locked.

Do you have the air hoses?

Just received this from one of the convoy members. Seems that they had a cracked block in one of the vehicles and they are replacing the engine. Looks like they had a nice place to work.

I just got pulled over in my "new" M816. It seems that the local police noticed that I didn't yet have any registration numbers. As I climbed down from the cab, I heard the policeman say "oh, its you, that explains it". We talked for about 10 minutes, shook hands, and wished each other a good...

I've got two in great shape if anyone would like to pay a grand for them.

The shifter on the passanger side is for the front winch. The one next to the driver is the transfer case. The one behind the seat on the left of the driver is the power divider which turns on the pto to the rear winch and the boom. It is not a good idea to play with it without the manual...

Now where did I put that handle???????????????

There are manufactured seats just for this purpose. They mount in the cab and hing out and lower down to wheel chair level so that he can just slide over into or out of his chair. The device then takes the seat back up and puts it into the drivers of passengers position.

I just freed up my 45,000 level wind. It's pretty simple. Lift it off the winch and loosen the nut on the bottom of the trolly. Suspend the entire trolly by the pully and encourage the bottom to drop off with the hammer of choice. There are 45 loose balls contained in the trolly for...
