    Wrecker bed modification

    As to a break in the cable put your land anchors on top of your boom and they will be out of your way and protect the operators. And I have seen lots of M936 wreckers and none have had hydraulic outriggers, but that would be great mod.

    Hydraulic vs. pto Winches

    Have only tried one but I have worked enough different winches to gage roughly :cookoo:how much pull I am getting. I also know how how much the trucks I pull weighs, so I believe it was bypassing at the listed rates on the plates.

    290 cummins

    Thanks guys that's what I was thinking, that other would be a little better at pulling the hills and might could be turned up fairly easy. Is it a 250 with a turbo or is it a different block?

    Wrecker Mystery

    Bet it is a shaft not turning. I don't like it but you will have to get under the truck while it is running and look for turning shafts please watch and don't get to close to the turning shafts! There's a keyway in the shaft between the splitter and the first constant joint box, had me...

    M923 air brake work arounds....

    Okay I know I am late but maybe it will help someone when they have the same problems, if you would have read the tm's you would have found that there are two valves on the airtank in between the frame that you can shutoff one at a time to get pressure to the brakes. Sorry I didn't see your post...

    New Blue M1009

    I have one like it and it is a army truck it was used as a op four and a range truck before that so it was green then yellow then blue. Probably just regular enamel paint. Mine is totaled so it is being parted out.

    Hydraulic vs. pto Winches

    That's a good reason to bring the rating down but on the hydraulic winches why bring the actual power down to half of the rating of the winch.
