After installing my rebuilt starter and charging the batteries on my M936 I got the truck started with no issues. I tried it several times without any issues. Today i went to start up the wrecker to see if the batteries were still holding the charge. When I tried to crank the truck I could...

I upgraded the tires on my M936 wrecker to the 14.00-20 tires and rims. According to my measurements the spare tire is gonna be a tight fit if it fits at all. I measured 13-1/2" opening in the floor between the tool boxes and the tire support wall. I got approx. 14-1/2" for the tire...

Just wanted some feedback on using a Chinese Knock-off starter on the NHC-250. The starter on my M936 wrecker is dead. I changed the solenoid and the motor is dead as well. I get 24 volts to the motor terminals (large ones) but no movement. My options are a used pull off or new Chinese...

I have been having problems starting my wrecker. We managed to start it up at Jeff's place and get it home. When I tried to move it today it would not crank. I thought it was the battery switch because the gauges would not come on. I decided to try a different black box that I had as a...

I won a wrecker on GL last September at a great price. I had Jeff Davis recover it for me to his compound near Camp Shelby. Upon inspection it was determined that it was not road worthy. Since I had additional trucks recovered by Jeff I did not get a chance to bring her home until today. I...

I am thinking of replacing the 3 phase hydraulic pump that runs my liftgate on the M820A2 with the engine off. This is a the backup pump used when the truck is plugged into a 3 phase generator for power. It allows the operator to operate the liftgate without having to run the engine and PTO...

I did some research on how to remove and reinstall Hutchinson Run Flats into HMMWV tires. I got a great deal on some HMMWV radials and rims. The rims had defective tires on them that I needed to remove. Most of the mounted tires were bald and 2 were blow-outs. I got them for the rims and...

I finally brought home my newly acquired 1971 XM820e2 from Jeff Davis's compound near Camp Shelby. I want to thank Jeff for the recovery, storage and assistance in getting it road worthy. I purchased this truck 5 years and 1 day since I purchased the same model truck from Fort Polk, LA. I...

Except for low batteries I never had problems starting my M109 before. When I got it a few years ago it had a new engine in it. I have upgraded all the filters to spin-ons. Today I decided to move the truck from where I parked it in the beginning of the Winter season. I had the charger on...

Can anyone provide me with a high resolution scan of the data plate off a M936 wrecker. I want to have one reproduced to replace the bad one on my wrecker.

Would like to know what the maximum safe RPM for the M1008 with the 6.2 L Diesel engine. I installed a tachometer to track the RPM. I will need it once I update the tires to HMMWV tires and rims.

I found out today that my IP is leaking fuel. My mechanic pinpointed it to a leaking seal around the throttle shaft where it goes into the IP. Does anyone know a inexpensive fix for this problem? Can the repair be done without removing the entire pump from the engine? The pump still function...

I purchased a M1008 pickup from GL auction at Camp. Shelby in MS on October 24. 2013. Jeff Davis did a quick inspection on it and recommended I get that truck. It was listed as hood latch broken running condition unknown and no key. Standard ignition lock key did not fit. I won the action...

I jumped the gun a bit and was not aware how large the HMMWV alternator is. I ordered one and it came in today. It's a monster! There is no way i can install it on the M923 with the NHC250 without some modifications. There are engine cooling components that are in the way. I need some help...
