Unless its your Ebay auction, Unless its something "rare and unusual" Unless your a new person and did not read about not posting about auctions Unless..... yeah:roll: I wish SS would just not allow postings about any active auctions at all to avoid all of this!

Front of that truck reminds me of Mad Max Road Warrior!! Nice truck :-D

Here it is http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/5966-big-dumb-trailer-more-pics-2.html#post61833 look for a post by Otter

There was a guy a year or two ago on here that had put a deuce bed on a M200A1 genny trailer. Towed it behind his M109A3 with his dirt bikes in it. He had to put "spacers" on the frame to sit the bed higher if I remember right. No dumper though.

Don't limit yourself to a M543A2, the M62 wreckers are 5 ton and have the same winches, just different crane (Austin-Western??). Rated the same as the M543 and I have seen more of the M62's than the 543's. (But they were gas engines). Edit: the engine choices are the same as the M543 - i.e...

Of course with that being said about Macks being rare, there is one in the classifieds!:-P

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the M543 and the M816 have the same Garwood bed so the only difference is the engine choice. The M543 is a Continental gas engine, the A1 is a (rare) Mack ENDT 673 and the A2 is the more common LDS multi fuel engine. The M816 has the NHC 250...

How did the wrecker "get away" from you? Good luck on the the Dodge.

There are some manuals available on Ebay from time to time for the Mack ENDT. But you should give up and sell it to me!!:-P

I got lucky ( I think!) - got mine for $7000 then add the premium, tax, transportation costs etc... I did not drive mine off of base but if I had been a little more knowledgeable and closer, I might have tried to drive it home. All it needed were a couple of fittings and batteries.

I know I will catch flak for this but it has been posted on here before by persons much more knowledgeable than me, IT IS OK TO MIX DOT3 AND DOT 5!! it won't blow up or turn to acid and eat the brake lines. I believe both Cranetruck(Bjorn) and David Doyle have stated this and have...

Sweet, thanks dude!!

yea, I went there last week to get my HEMTT wheels. If anyone goes, look for a small plastic bag that has some wheel nuts and an o-ring! :roll: One of mine fell out somewhere!:razz:

So once the air is bled out of the fuel line, the throttle response should be normal and drop back to idle quicker?

Well, I finally got my fuel lines and other stuff fixed on the M816 wrecker and fired her up for the first time. Cranked a few times and VROOOM!! Idled at about 650 rpm, oil pressure came up to about 30-40 psi. Checked for fuel leaks and it looked good. Noticed air pressure was not coming up...

Nice looking truck and welcome to the site. I drive through Joseph City all the time on the way to Califonia. Do you work at the power plant?
