    goldneagle's M936 Wrecker recovery and restore thread

    Today I fabricated a door in the back of the wrecker bed to replace the damaged metal partition. This door allows for easier dismounting of the boom support legs as well as other heady equipment stored on the driver's side of the wrecker bed. No more lifting the equipment over the back partition!

    goldneagle's M936 Wrecker recovery and restore thread

    Made a couple of mods on the wrecker lately. Had issues with air dryer, so I ended up replacing it. I used the newer style air dryer once I modified it to fit the original bracket. In order to get the air dryer to fit the original mounting bracket on the wrecker I had to cut off most of the...

    M1008 CUCV Passenger side alternator issues

    I bought a M1008 truck from GSA. It was a former fire company truck. Had signs of blown battery on passenger side. Juanprado helped me with the passenger side alternator. After messing around with it for a while he noticed someone had reversed the 2 large red cables on the alternator. (that...

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    You may want to consider installing a bypass coolant filter. I did it in all my trucks. You can see the install in my 5 ton thread.

    Any chemists on board?

    Are you out of your mind? Doghead and others just stated that Ammonia gas is very deadly. Are you trying to kill someone?

    M998 Tailgate Spare tire carrier

    Is that a tailgate mount? That would be a very heavy tailgate!

    M998 Tailgate Spare tire carrier

    I think 2 people would have a workout trying to get a HMMWV tire with runflat inside to line up with those 2 bolts and secure the tire. (125 pounds without the runflat)

    Fuel leak / starting issue

    My mechanic and I found a junction point under the truck that has a metal cover over it. We installed an electric fuel pump in-line under that cover. Now when I am waiting for the wait light to go out the electric fuel pump is priming the system. Makes for easy startup.

    Turnbutton studs for the winter front kit.

    I wonder if they are the same as the ones used for the Deuce soft top. Erik's Military Surplus used to carry them. Not sure if he still does.

    need some 006 assistance. Fires right up, but won't stay running...

    It sounds almost identical to what happened to my 15KW unit. It ended up it was the check valve on the return line coming from the Injector Pump was clogged. My return line from the IP intersects the return line from the injectors. (they share the same line returning to the fuel tank) There...

    Steerable Trailers?

    The wagon style trailers like M989A1 come to mind when you made your comment. They are beasts as far as weight is concerned. They max out the tow capacity of a M35 without any cargo. As far as handling they are fine in forward motion, but a real pain in reverse due to the steer axle. I know...

    2 HEMTTS slipped through the cracks today and were sold at auction

    Just saw 2 M977 HEMTTS sell on GSA auctions without EUC requirements. These were on GSA. Just shows the government one hand does not know what the other hand is doing! I was going to bid on one but got too high for my pocket book!
