I have many wrecker questions. I have seen some of the unofficial answers and have read the manual quite a bit on these, but want some opinions too.
First off, I have the wrong pump, it doesn't have the idle up stuff on the back of the IP pump. Is this a whole pump swap or can that part be bolted on to a regular 250hp cummins.
Forth gear operation of the boom is noisy, but 3 and down isn't. I also think the rear winch moves too fast. Is there really any problem with running the rear winch in 1st, and the crane at idle in say 3rd, other than it being alittle slow.
1600;s on a wrecker, the rubbing, that is talked about is that from the front tires turning, or do they actually hit the bottom of the wrecker bed.
the 5 ton front winches, I need both yokes for the PTO and winch part, (I will have a driveshaft made) but was curious if those were standard parts or will I need to do saturn or alfa etc.
My rear pintle is gone. That sucker is much bigger than a deuce, are all 5 ton pintles the same, best place to get one?
My hook comes down slowly or not at all without weight, the tackle has two pulley's so the cable makes 4 trips back and forth. I know this is great for lifting, but it slow and the boom rating is low anyway. Seems like most wreckers have just a regular hook that the cable runs down and up to the boom.. Should I just put that on there and take the bigger one off.
Were can I get the anchor poles that keep the truck from moving backwards, that and a whiffle bar?
Has anyone ever made a wheel dolly with an eyelet that the boom could pickup and go under the wheels of a car, so it "could" be used to move a newer car if needed. It would only be for my own stuff on occasion.
Fire away and thanks.
