Hello,
I wanted to run a few wrecker/NHC250 specific questions by you guys. I have searched this site extensively, downloaded and absorbed the TMs and Ops manuals but still have a few questions:
1.) To prime the fuel system, the Ops says to use the hand priming pump on the dash. Can the master switch be turned on to use the electric pump or is use of the hand primer mandatory to bleed air from the fuel system?
2.) What is the proper oil for power steering? I know through searching that 10W is the right one. I would just like to know if there is a specific 10W I should be looking for (additive, no additives?)
3.) Is the fuel tank selector switch a manual switch or electrical? Anyone have trouble with their tank selector switch?
4.) Does anyone frequently use the electric brake lock? Is this the same thing as the line-loc on my Cuda? Anyone have problems with this device? Sticking?
5.) For future reference: Any 819/246 owners pick up an object like an engine and place it on the rear deck of the truck? If the boom was raised to 45° can this be accomplished?
6.) Who should I buy CARC from to do a 3 color woodland camo job? Any hardeners that go with this paint system or do you just put the right thinner in it?
As you can tell by these questions someone is getting an M819 W/W this weekend!
I didn't want to shoot my mouth off and jinx myself before I actually take full posession but thought these questions necessary (except 5,6) to get the thing home. I am very excited about the possibilities of a 26' crane. Pictures will be taken and posted here. The Deuce will be going for moral support. I'm sure there will be more questions so thanks in advance for your input.
P.S. yes my Deuce still has a sticky 2nd gear and a leaky front axle seal
Both trucks will be serviced at the same time so my brain is on trucks instead of house repair.
