I've been following your thread with interest. You are doing very good work! I enjoy doing these things like you: making tools, cutting gaskets, taking the time to do it correctly. If we were neighbors we would have much to talk about over coffee or tea. I'm also in the process of bringing home...

Looks good!

So the logic here is that with the power divider in you could overload the transmission at low RPM without it kicking down? A load is just a load whether it be driving the truck or the crane. In driving the truck up a hill as it stalls the transmission should kick into a lower gear; if it...

You have an auto throttle then. From reading a lot of posts I gather the A1 or A0 was equipped with these. I have an A2 and it has no auto throttle. I have to engage the power divider then use the hand throttle to crank it up to proper RPM. Yes I mean the 1-5 drive position. On mine without the...

Valve block will show zero when spools are at inactivated position. Pressure is only read from that port when valves are actuated. In order to set relief you have to max it out. I do this by raising the boom until it's at max travel. Then the pressure hits the relief and I set it there. Piece of...

This is awesome sign me up!

Somebody sent me a PM request for a picture of my test tool I carry and I can't add to a PM so posting the image here. Basically it's a gas pressure test setup from Home Cheapo with a different gauge then plumbed to a JIC fitting. So if I have a suspect wheel I unplug the flex line from the...

I used a Victron 70A 12/24 off Amazon. Think it was about $150. I mounted it in the battery box of my M936, along with a fuse panel, to a piece of leftover hardwood decking I had around. Cables were just standard battery stuff. It's held up fine for my GPS, radios and the like. No complaints...

"My question is this: if I'm reading the wiring diagram correctly, I can delete wire 5 from the stock alternator to the Protective Control Box (PCB) and the stock starter system that includes the PCB will function as intended; true or false?" The way I'm looking at it the schematic shows me...

Haha yeah YMMV="Your Mileage May Vary" New fluid now aren't you fancy! I did the UOA because I wanted to skip the expense if I could. If you have new fluid you're good. I think the stuff in mine is at least ten years old and it's fine. Post up what you find please. Wreckers are particular I...

I just did an upside down "U" and the gauge hangs under the cover. Easy to see but out of the way so I don't break it. A flow meter would be good but not sure if the data is really all that relevant. I mean.... pressure is where it's at it'll flow what it will. I would consider flow at a...

Well here's $0.02..... -I think the TM is wrong about the pressure relief. I found mine from RSMS at 2100 psi. Tried the 1350psi in the TM it does not work well. Put it back to 2200psi works great. I think the TM is for maybe the 816 and never got updated. -I can get the front tires off the...

Basically you need an out of state title. Doesn't matter if it's historical (mine had a MI historical didn't matter). CA DMV will give you a commercial plate regardless. Then you'll have to apply for historic. I did mine non-op, got a title, sent it back in for historic and am waiting word right...

It wasn't that hard. I crammed a bunch of YouTube and took it in my M936A2. They gave me a CDL class B with airbrake and auto trans. Whatever I just want to be legit driving my truck. The test guy had a good time I'll bet he remembers that for awhile.

Finally got my CA title! Had it for all of a couple days then sent it in for historic plate application. I went non-op with it to get the MI title to a CA title and not pay huge reg fees (the wrecker is 37k#). Anyways hopefully they won't give me too much grief. Love to hear anybodies story if...

I work on a lot of generators but not military ones. Nonetheless they all operate based upon few variations of the same principles. Post a schematic of your unit I may be able to offer some constructive advice.

Well this one went through RSMS in June of 2012 so it was VERY end of life. I'm finding a lot of stuff that indicates they just "checked the boxes" when they went over it. Fact that it's a wrecker shouldn't make a difference really. The 8.3 motor does indeed take exactly 20 quarts with a filter...

Nope. That's right. Just that the data plate indicates different pressures on an A2 truck (and therefore CTIS equipped) for front and rear. That would be a 2 channel system which it does not have. So maybe they intended to do so, made the data plates, product was phased out before...

Dunno they look right to me. Fluid quantities are correct I know from PM's on the vehicle. Split tire pressure is odd. Think it was something they planned on?

Nope. Swapped it over same thing. Firmware is holding the top at 80psi. You have to have the latest ECU for the 90psi. Hopefully Dana will get back to me I sent them screen shots of the software and explained I need to flash the firmware. At the end of the day it will never be the "latest and...
