Just so you know, 2 people will have trouble moving this stupid thing. It is not a small winch.

Ahh.. I've seen JCP-7's trailer, it's a LONG booger, and the axles are way back. It's also full height... which could be very bad, the M819 is a tall truck, the crane on the back sits way up there, it's taller than any other wrecker....

Little edit, looks like he has a M270a1, which is a drop deck. Still would have to double check stuff, from what I've read and seen, M819 is 11 foot up, which only leaves you 30 inches to the 13' 6" legal height.

WELL now i need to ask you brake masters a question.

Was using the 818 today to move another truck with my other trailer, no issues worked fine as normal. I parked the 818 with the lowboy at 2pm. took off to get some other work and such done today.
Finally went back at 10pm to go unhook from the trailer and hook up the M270 so i can leave at day break. I unhooked the trailer, then started the 818, pulled forward about 20' and it felt like i actually had the truck pulling a FULL LOAD!!!! Im not hooked to nothing. SO i check the brake pedal and its STIFF!! figure i just had a brake problem so i now have to fix it.

First i drained the air tanks to see if its building to much pressure. With truck OFF and tanks empty. The pedal is still STIFF as a board. NO AIR in the tanks, trucks not hooked to anything. WHY do i have a stiff PEDAL!! I need to get this truck fixed ASAP as i have a borrowed trailer that i think the Owner would like back soon as im done.

If you have a short cut to the page i can look let me know, im going to go check the manuals and also run a search, but any advice you guys can give me NOW would help me save time. Anyways THANKS in advance

Well today was cancelled as to my brake issues, I have to see now if the owner of the trailer will let me borrow it for another day or 2. If not i got to find a way to get it back to his place.

But if can keep it and get my truck fixed tomorrow is there anyone up for wed?

I now have the brakes back expect i have a REALLY spungy peddle. It has to go about half way before i start to even feel it and i cant lock the brakes down no more. I got to get a GOOD brake peddle before i will even chance going after my truck with it. 80k# and not good truck brakes IS NOT a smart move ;)

Sounded like everything is fine. What do you think this combo weighs in at?

818 pulling a 270(a2?) with an 819 on it. NICE!
