I didn't think there was a chance in **** a M1102 trailer would be level and look good behind a 5 ton wrecker. Looks pretty dam good. The M818 pintle hook height is the same as the wrecker's, about 30 inches ground to inside bottom of the pintle hook so it would also be level behind a M818...

Use a cloth wheel on the end of a drill and Novus #2 fine scratch remover (I purchased mine at the local Harley dealer) to clean and polish the plastic lenses on composite light assemblies. This method brings a badly faded lenses back to not quite new but close. You may have to go over it a...

I have had an inop CTIS system since I got the M936A2 a few months ago. Went through the troubleshooting guide in the TM's and found my problem. The wet tank is not building up to more than 70-75 psi. The wet tank never gets up to the CTIS's pressure switch's 85 or so psi so the CTIS...

I have a M936A2 and I don't think the thermal valve mounted on the upper radiator hose that actuates the fan clutch is working correctly. Sometimes the water temp gets up to just over 200 degrees with no fan lockup/actuation. Is the thermal valve serviceable?? Is their a good source for...

Here are some pictures of the "new" vehicle. A 1991 M936A2 won at Ft Carson a few weeks ago. Put it to work right away. That's a 1200 lb commercial lawn aerator also won at Carson some time back. Also something real cool. I found out what unit it came from. Found "10th CSH" "HQ 84" hand...
