I don't really know what they are called. I thought maybe they were Packard Connectors (the male end) but what I have here in a bag "ain't it". What I am doing is adding a second light on the back of my truck - both sides. Hoping to make up a "Y" off the factory harness, add a few inches of...
I poked around in the TM that I downloaded. Not much luck finding the part numbers I want (need). Pictures below show the rotten rubber on each end of the pigtail. Lights seem to work just fine - but the cracks mean water is getting in... Has anybody got a good source?
Well... I just had to tell somebody who might get excited about it. I stumbled across a heck of a deal for two Snatch Blocks. Everything is functional on both of them. Roller where the cable rides is free-spinning and has no "gritty" sound when moving.
I figure both need a light hit of...
Soliciting Opinions ... My boom winch cable has some "scuffs" and at least one obviously "mashed" spot on it. Cable seems to be the oldest cable on the three winches on my truck. It may have not been replaced since it left military service. It actually has a rusty look to it. I have done a...
Somewhere on here I saw an amazing set of switches and lights that somebody had rigged up using something like the "Convoy Lights" switch and an indicator lamp for each - using something like the "high beam indicator" light. Like so many things, find it and you better bookmark it because...
Seems that the answer to everything is to look it up in the TM's. Maybe I don't have everything... I have the -10, the four volumes of the -24 and two volumes of the -24P and I am here to tell you - either I am stupid or there are no decent drawings of where the hydraulic lines go on this M936...
On a quest for the rubber inserts and socket for the amber and red Side Marker lights... I looked in the TMs and said words that are not family friendly trying to get the part number. Picture below is what I am looking for. Not trying to be cheap, but I would think if they are available -...
Well, in the grand scheme of things I can't say that it surprised me when I found a little spot of rust was the problem... I have had an ongoing battle with the stuff! I had a persistent air leak that sounded like it was under the drivers side step. There is a wad of air lines in the "box" in...
My M936 seems to be configured just like all the other 939 Series so far as the air system is concerned. On the passenger side, I have 4 (looks like radiator petcocks). I guess they haven't been opened in a while... Sprayed them down with WD-40 and let them sit. Still no go. So a pair of...
Looking for the TM on the HEMAT Trailer.
In particularly - Process to turn off the airbags to load and unload the trailer? Obvious answer is to unplug the air and drain but somehow that seems like the long way around... Image is not my trailer. Too lazy to walk outside and take its picture :-(
Is there a source for front window gaskets? The rubber on mine is cracked in a few places. Also really hard, Not much flex at all. I am guessing that is the source of the rainwater happening inside the cab. I can use a business card and slide it most of the way around the "seal" that isn't...
Hi All, These may be old tired questions but I seemed to come up empty trying to search for answers. The indicator lights in the picture below... I know for certain that the AIR LOW lamp is working. Turn on the truck, that lamp lights, the buzzer turns on and until air pressure builds - it...
In the continuing adventure, today as I was retracting the Jib - nice and easy - I had a line break. The one that controls "IN" on the Jib Cylinder. It is amazing how fine the spray can be and how far it goes! What was really amazing was how quickly I got up out of the gondola, took three...
First use of my rotator crane boom under a load. Seems that the Jib (extension) cylindar leaks. Guessing it needs to be repacked. Is there a source for a packing kit for it - or do I have to tear it down first and go to the local supplier?
I have a nice set of six 395/85 R20's under my wrecker. Nice big fat juicy tires! The spare is a (flat) 11.00/R20 that fits the spare tire holder nicely. The tool boxes open like they should. The rotator boom clears the spare... If I happened to be pulling my HEMAT trailer, I have a...
My rear winch operates like a champ. Question is this: Standing about where the white shop towel is to operate it doesn't give you anywhere to hide (duck, get out of the way, call it what you will...) if something goes wrong. I have heard a winch cable flying through the air before and it is...
It seems that I have a pretty good exhaust leak around the bottom of the muffler. Looks like stainless steel maybe makes that connection? Is there a flange that has just rusted away - or has vibration killed it?
I have a picture...
Doesn't look like there is a clamp on / for the bottom?
My M936 has a Map Box behind what appears to be a new "companion seat" bottom and back cushion above the battery box. Maybe newly covered? Seems that the metal frame that holds the seat back in place is not in the truck. TM TM-9-2320-272-24P-2 on Page 370-1 shows a part number...
My M936 seems to operate differently than the 9-2320-260-10 (Page 2-13) shows. Item 6 in that list says "lever is pushed forward" to provide power to auxiliary equipment. Looking at the picture in that TM, it is obviously a manual transmission and mine isn't.
In my truck, that (power...
M936, Step 1 in setting up the wrecker is to engage the parking brake lever. As soon as I pull up the lever the buzzer sounds. It doesn't stop until the lever is pushed back down. (same sound as low air warning) The left warning lamp (red) just above the steering column stays on as well...
