There is no doubt I would love to own a wrecker.
I do not think it will ever happen or if it were to happen
it will not be for some time. That will not stop me
from adding a few things I like about the wrecker to my
M925A1 though~!
I want a vise, maybe two vises up front on the winch...
VERY Nice ZeBE!
I have been looking at my spades (yes for my M925A1 ) and considering
where and how to strap them to my truck. Certainly I do not have a
45K rear winch but in the dunes they might come in handy some day.
I have the straight and the angled "receivers" for them I need to
mount...
Awsome as always Mike! It would be even moreso
if it had one* of those new front winch bumper
Vise Mount Kits a SS member is fabbing up
and thinking about peddelin' for dolla's
or parts. I heard the guy wants some
of those sweet door battle locks !
:tank:
*or two, they will fit PS and DS, DS...
Tim can you explain the parafin wax method please?
I will add that "PB BLaster" now sold at Home Depot works well,
espically if a guy can pre-soak the offending hardware a week or
more in advance...
Wax? Teach me bro...
Individual seats w/ seat belts a must. Each seat properly attached to the floor.
No troop seats, too easy for people to bang there heads together. That is
one reason why helmets are required atire in tactical vehicles I thunk!
Egress and Degress via proper steps WITH proper guard rails. I mean...
Bummer about the engine...
looks like it is all there otherwise.
Maybe buy another truck just fo rthe running engine and part out the balance?
You might actually make money if the trans and TC are good and sell.
Good Luck!
Just set up a scaffold outside so you can lay down.
Perhaps cantilever the boards over the door jamb lip or
set the top of the deck height the same as the jamb lip
or close, then raise the truck floor a tad
w/ moving blankets. A pita, yes, but if there is a lot
to do it would be worth it...
Is it a missing;
SPRING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT SWITCH
- Activates warning light when spring brakes are engaged
Does the red light flash when you set the e-brakes on the dash?
If not I might be onto something.
Start reading TM / 24-1 on page 67, at page 75 i think I saw your missing deal...
When my needle is about done bouncing off "E" I pull over to get fuel
and I think the most it will take is about 55 gallons or so. The book
says it is an 81 gallon tank so I assume there is a good 25 or so
useable gallons left in the tank...we will be sure to have pleanty
of jerry cans full...
I took one out, rapped it against my desk trying to extract crap.
I guess I should just throw parts at it to be safe.
I know for a fact my truck "sat" for a long time.
When I pulled the fuel filter you can see a DEFINATE
line of rust inside it where water rausted the housing.
little by...
My low air warning is not turning ON regularly.
It seems to have a mind of its' own. I can
only start throwing parts at it when I can.
Sometimes the low air light comes on, other times it does not.
This is bad, I want to fix it .
Money is tight right now, normally I would just throw new parts at something like this
since it is a safety device and parts are old'er' .
TM 23-1 had a troubleshoot and I did it and I "think" my issue is the
failsafe warning control module.
Sometimes the Low Air light comes on, and some...
Here is a partical schematic I found.
The green arrows point at the two low air switches.
I tested them w/ the OHM meter on 200 and it read .3
The TM says if it is other than 300 ohms the air switches are bad.
I do not know if .3 = 300 or what...for alls I know I have 2 bad
low air...
