    M936 crane cable

    Thanks, now I wish I has asked on here about that. That's about what I paid for this stuff so hopefully its just as good. Going to call Brugg tomorrow and see if they can tell me anything about it. Checked their webpage and that part number is not listed. Probably to old, I noticed the label was...

    M936 crane cable

    I saw that and was going to buy, but everyone I talked to said stay away from cable made in China. Sellers name was Groove industrial, when I told him I didn't want any made in china he offered to sell me the same but made in US and it was right at $300 shipped.

    M936 crane cable

    That’s what I thought at first. But after looking on the inter web it seems all 7/16” is rated around 16k, 1/2” cable is rated somewhere around 22k, all 9/16” 27k, etc. Which surprised me since the max capacity of boom is 20k if retracted and supported. Not much of a margin for error. I realize...

    M936 crane cable

    Is it appropriate to use elevator cable for the booms on these trucks? Found what I think is a pretty good deal on some US made elevator cable, just wanted to ask if anyone knew of any reason not to use it. I don’t have much info on it, was hoping someone on here was familiar with it. Figured...

    M939/LMTV/FMTV Air dryer replacements/upgrades

    I agree about price being important, but the 24v AD-9 is about $150, versus $185 for the turbo 2000. Unless you found them cheaper somewhere else, if so pm me the link.

    M939/LMTV/FMTV Air dryer replacements/upgrades

    Good info here, thanks Wes. My PURest just took a dump, so looking at replacing since I can’t find a reasonable priced rebuild kit. Have you ever tried the AD-9 dryer? That’s what several owner/operators I talked to recommended I try. Wondering how it would compare to the Brakemaster.

    New 1008 - Glow Plug Resistors Disconnected

    For those of us using push button to fire the relay, is there any reason not to do away with the resistor and just use 24v glow plugs? Seems best of both worlds, equal draw across both batteries, no cascading glow plug failures.
