M936 recovery

[neilhendrix]

Over all it looks like you have a nice wrecker. Congrats to the both of you. I`m sure you will get to use it at the Ga rally

I have the correct feet for that tow bar if you didn't get the right ones. That one uses 1 and 1/8th inch pins, not the 1" like a medium.

From the looks of it, NOTHING is correct with your feet

Congrats guys! awesome looking wrecker! I tried to use mine last night and the hard line going to the hoist motor blew a leak. On a side note the D600 WVO collection truck looks shiny new!

I started pulling everything out of the truck today, to see what all I got, I'll let you know what I need.

I got to drive her yesterday , it was a blast!

Here is the reason for the oil leak, any thoughts???

I would talk to glen (91w350) I'm sure he can get you a good used one for a very fair price compared to cummins.

I'm pretty sure he is looking for options OTHER than replacing the motor block.

 

[mdmorgan]

It's the timing cover, not the block (thank god). I'm wondering what would have caused it to bulge from the inside enough to crack the timing cover and break the little cover, yet the motor runs great.

nsn 2835012712510 heres the number for the cover.

page 78 part number 12. It can be replaced, It's going to be a he!! of a female dog to replace.

Looks like your hookers tops coming off (meaning the hood).

From the tm 2320-260-34-1 (same motor)

Measure shim(s) (12) as a pack with micrometer. Add or subtract shim(s) (12) from pack to provide
a clearance of 0.001-0.005 in. (0.0254-0.127 mm) for engines with camshaft thrust plate or​

0.008-0.013 in. (0.2032-0.3302 mm) for engines with camshaft outboard bearing support

this suggest that if the WRONG clearance (with/without thurst plate) could cause this

He is still pulling all the goodies out

ok, here is some pics of her.

**** another lucky guy/gal with a wrecker! What'd you pay for it? Wrecker is next on my list, I'd like to get an A2 but a plain ol 936 would be fine too...

$6,216.10 after everything said and done. After reading through the T.M. we were even happier that we went with M936 instead of the A1 or A2.

 

[gimpyrobb]

So that was planned, or it just worked out that way?

 

[mdmorganwife]

Planned, but didn't know it at the time. I'll explain, we knew we didn't want one with super singles because most sit with flats for long periods at a time and knowing we would probably be driving it back we didn't want to chance it. So, unknowingly we were wanting a M936. <----looks like doghead is humping gimpy.

No disrespect intended married man of 24 years). Unreal to me. 6K for a wrecker!!!!!! **** **** ****!

 

[mdmorgan]

Ok, this is everything that was on the truck, except the two big boom legs they are way heavy.

 

[73m819]

GREAT haul, super goodies

 

[1 Patriot-of-many]

Nice haul! Hope I get as lucky when I pull the trigger on a wrecker.
