Well, that took an unexpected turn. The help from both sides of this purchase has been great. The forum was quick with replies other than the old "Read the TMs" and the sellers have been out in the cold trying to troubleshoot the problem. A problem that was voluntarily noted during my initial...

He's an acquaintance. He bought the truck from his employer 4 or 5 years ago and it just sits on his property. He doesn't know much about it but I really feel like he isnt out to screw anyone over. He was up front about it having the problem once in the past. The price is great, and honestly...

Good to see another forest service truck not going to scrap. Cool project.

He did engage the PTO to run the crane and winches, I did not double check that it was disengaged when I took it for a drive. Would it not shift out of first? Thank you for the suggestion!

He mentioned on the phone that he was able to get it to shift into second on his property, but wasnt able to go much faster. He didnt specify what, if anything, he did. He said low did not make any difference. I'm going to run out there tomorrow and check the modulator and clean the governor...

Yes sir I did.

Looking to buy a M936a2. Looked at it last week, got approved for a loan saturday. Went to drive it today and it wont shift out of first. Guy says it did this once prior when the CTIS stopped working and shifted normal with CTIS brain unplugged afterward. I looked through the trouleshooting...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll get them adjusted sometime this week and report back with results.

Went to pull out an f350. Made the turn, left side fell out of sight. 15k pto winch on a 1 ton and another 8k on the f350 finally got it out.

Balls shear off at the shank. I had one hit the top of my cab once, it was a big wake up call for me.

I'd really love to see this. Does anyone have a link? I'm not using the right terms in my search.

I've got 4 stock wheels and tires here if you want to borrow them.

Had any luck with this? I keep getting asked if I bobbed mine when people see yours in town. My old man called saying he was waving at one the other day until he realized it was missing an axle! I'm having a similar problem with a set of tires on a pickup, I'm curious to see if you get it...
