    Stearing problem in M54 Bobed 5 Ton

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Stearing problem in M54 Bobed 5 Ton First, check for worn tie rod ends or worn drag link ends. If all checks our OK, then start working on toe in.

    Anyone ever cleaned/changed their M543/M816 Hydraulic Filter

    Has anyone ever cleaned/changed the hydraulic system filter on a M543/M816 Wrecker Crane? The filter indicator on my truck is permanently in the "Bypass" position, even with the engine shut down, so it seems some PMCS is in order. From reading the PS Magazine articles this seems like a no...

    WTB Igntion Coil for M123/M125

    My M125 (Le ROI 844 gas V-8) idles real smooth but has a definite intermediate miss/loss of power once it gets much above idle speed. The previous owner told me ti had a 12 volt coil in it. I am highly suspect the 12V coil doesn't have the capacity to handle that big V-8. The coil is located...
