I got my m816 home to Nebraska from Camp Dodge IA. Recovery went well, my truck ended up having the boomjack bases laying in the box. It has 2 big and 2 small cable block and tackle, two for rope, axe,sledge hammer,shovel,pick,two 30ton jacks,wiffle, misc BIG chains, tire chains, misc towbar ends(but no towbar
) and air hoses, hand tools etc. The truck started right up and ran great all the way home. Muffler blew out half way home.
The sarge was push starting a m818 when I got there so they seemed pretty helpful. Lots of 2.5 ton trucks there. I think the sarge said over 100 left to sell.
The question I have on the m816. There seemed to be a vibration around 50mph(so I ran 45) The only thing I could find was that the driveshaft from the back of the transfercase that drives the crane,winch transmission was turning if I was driving. Is there any way to shut it off? The tm shows a lever beside the transfercase lever and front winch pto lever, but my truck dosent have it. The crane works fine and I dont know for sure that the shaft is turning when Im driving but it does turn if I put the tcase in neutral and put the trans in 4th. I just cant find a lever to turn off the transfercase pto shaft.
(I know the last pic looks bad with the powerlines but they werent even close.)
