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!
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...
OK i replaced the relays today and still no charging on Gen 2. Neither the gen 1 or gen 2 lights come on at all. From what I see in the wiring diagram there is supposed to be a diode in the circuit. I do not know what it looks like or where it is located. Can any help me work through this...
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...

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)
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.
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...
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...
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!
