    MEP-003A No Output

    I have a MEP-003A that I acquired from a friend. I was told it ran great and worked properly for a year or two after it was acquired surplus. Then it started having intermittent output issues. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't with no apparent pattern or reason. Due to it's...

    John Tennis AKA JATonka

    I have a M35A2 that already had John's spin on oil filter adapter kit when I acquired the truck. It started to leak a little from between the original filter base and one of the adapters when it was really cold out side, but would stop after the truck ran for a few minutes and warmed up. When I...

    M816 Road Trip AR-TN-MS-AL-GA

    I think I'm about ready to drive our M816 wrecker home to Georgia! I'm looking at sometime next week, the 12th through the 16th of December, 2011. The trip is approximately 635 miles. I plan to make the drive in one day, and I anticipate it taking 16 to 18 hours if everything goes as planned...

    Big Thanks to Will Wagner!

    Will Wagner is no doubt THE Cummins guru! He has been very generous with his knowledge and taken several calls from me with questions while working on the engine in my M816 wrecker. He is polite, professional, and does an excellent job at explaining things over the phone. What really amazed me...

    Air Assist Steering Drag Link Valve Problem

    We are having a problem with the drag link load sensing valve on a M35A3 owned by the military museum that I work for. On this truck the valve just dumps the air straight through to the exhaust hose when the steering wheel is turned. No air makes it to the air chamber on the tie rod. I tried...

    M809 series truck slow to return to idle

    I have a M816 wrecker that is slow to return to idle when I let off of the accelerator. When you accelerate, then let off the throttle to change gears the rpms "float" a little and it takes 3 or 4 seconds to return to idle. That doesn't sound like a long time, but when you're trying to shift...

    Gama Goat Transfer Case and Front Differential Change

    A few weeks ago I needed to change a transfer case and front differential in a recently acquired gama goat project owned by the Montgomery County Military Museum in Mt. Ida, AR. Here are several pictures of the process. I think they are pretty much self explanatory, but I will point out that...

    M816 Towing Exercises (with pictures!)

    Considering that my Dad and I have an M816 and also that we are taking one belonging to the Montgomery County Military Museum on the Arkansas MVPA convoy in a few weeks, I figured it would be a good idea to know how to properly tow other vehicles. I've used the crane a lot to move engines, power...

    Did anyone buy some of those Kawasaki USMC M1030B1s/KLR 650s that sold on GL at San Antonio yesterday? If you did and are parting them out I need a few pieces!

    Need a Wilton vice for your wrecker?

    Call Larry at 770-887-7931 He is located in GA and has a few Wiltons that are very similar to the originals with the proper base so the bolt holes will line up with your mounting plate! Prices vary; I think we talked about $125-$250 depending on condition, though it has been a few months since I...
