For our older vehicles, do you find gaskets still available?
I'm rebuilding the front winch and the 2 paper gaskets between the motor housing and wormgear cover need to be replaced.
I rather just buy them but if they're not available or cost 80 bucks, I'll make them myself.
Any sources for...
Yes sir.
The left one (non-powered) is leaking like a sif.
The right one holds liquid well.
How do I know? I got sprayed all over when I removed a plug thinking that the left and right were connected thru the drum or something. ;-)
Also, the main reason for teardown is to free the stuck lever...
As long as someone with actual experience can confirm that this will come apart, I'll get that bitch apart.
I just don't want to wedge screwdrivers and prybars and 'break' it apart, only to find out that I was supposed to remove some cover and push on a pin to release something or other.
On A1s per TM 9-2320-272-34P-2 , there is a sleeve and pin on the coupler part, but on A2s the coupler is solid and if there is a pin, I don't know how to get to it from the assembly I'm looking at.
I'm trying to remove the front winch on my M936A2.
How do I separate the pump from the winch?
There are 2 sets of bolts. One from the pump to the coupler and 2nd from the coupler to the winch. I've removed both and I can spin each part but can't separate them.
What am I missing?
TM...
Yup.
If you look at the TM I posted, it has a very, very nice breakdown and part numbers to boot.
I need to look at it again, but at first glance, it looked like the powered and non-powered sides listed different seal numbers.
Took just a bit of searching, so I figured I'd post here and save the next person a few minutes.
I found a good diagram in the 209-2320-272-34P-2 manual.
Starting at figure 381.
It has nice diagrams and complete parts lists.

Did anyone document (or film) the removal and teardown of the front winch on the M925 or M936A2?
Mine is stuck and it's leaking.
Doesn't look too terribly hard, but don't want to re-invent the wheel if a video about it is out there.
Thank you! That helps a lot.
Can any automotive shop test the TC or do I have to take it to a truck shop? Any rough idea on the cost of the flush/test of TC?
Forgive my ignorance. Why won't this work?
Is the 250 bolt pattern different from my 8.3l?
The seller is getting his engine modded and will be using a different transmission (13 speed) so my guess is that's why he's letting me have the flexplate as shown in the picture.
The plate does have the...
Another question.
I know a lot of transmissions will start in 2nd, sometimes 3rd gear.
Do you know what gear the regular MT654 (non CR) starts in?
I'm reading the manual for the MT654CR and it states that it starts in 1st gear, which makes sense since the wrecker is almost 40,000lbs.
It would...
You're asking what transfer case I'm going to use it with?
I don't have the part number on hand (away from my truck), but it's a standard '91 M936A2 wrecker. I believe my transmission is bad and a guy in Iowa is selling his because he's upgrading to a 13 speed.
I'm just looking to get my...
