I have the same problem. Despite showing an accurate location for me, it seems to base distance off of some place in IL. Disregard distance information. Pay attention to where they say the item is located.

What's your timeline for starting the project?

I can't think of a way for CTIS to interfere with the transmission. Presume you have a transmission problem. I'd have thought maybe the fluid was cold, but you said you got it warm so that rules that out. The wreckers are heavy, and go through transmissions faster than the cargo variants.

The most cost effective wheels will be the two piece steel LMTV wheels. They'll be a direct bolt on to your 5ton. You'll need additional lugnuts - 20 left and 20 right. Simp5782 has the wheels.

395s on a 939series cargo truck.

395s are 45" or so. 14.00R20 are 47-48". In today's market, you'll pay more for 14''s than you will for 16's and then in a year or two when you need one you won't be able to find it. 14s are no longer in use by the military. If converting a 5ton to super singles 395s and 16''s are really the...

I agree with this. Or just go 395s. Readily available, and about half the cost of 16's. 14's are getting scarce and expensive.

11.00R20 16.00R20 and 395's...

Unknown auction truck. Certain to have dead batteries. Unknown what else may or may not work. Wrecker lights give me a certainty of having adequate lighting. Legal/illegal doesn't come into it. It's just the right thing to do. Edit removed extraneous material

I speculate that the ladder from an M1082 or M109 may fit the bill.

Emphatically this...

PM sent.

I like 16's. But this is an NH250 + turbo. 395s may be a better choice with a multifuel.

I learned it as "below 45mph", but yeah it certainly varies by state. The marker I use is "any time I think it is the best course of action to minimize the chances of getting hit." In retrospect even though I was going 60mph and only 5mph below the speed limit, if I had it to do over I would...

I've never been ticketed, and never been told to stop doing it.

You'll be way ahead by making it a completely separate system. I presume your goal is to make a system superior to and more reliable than the stock system. If you plumb it into the existing system, you will have actually increased the potential points of failure and one failure will still...

I for one will be glad to see some real world info from them. Please post your results once you get them on and try them out, good bad or indifferent.

We may be working from slightly different baseline assumptions. I'm envisioning coming up in a light that suddenly changed and mashing the brake and having the pedal go to the floor. (And I'm also thinking m35A2) The question at that point is what stops the truck in the least distance. I'm...

Depends. On an M35A2 you don't lose much by killing it - there's no power steering. In your M925A2, absolutely don't kill it - the power steering is must have. But then, your M925A2 has full airbrakes with springbrakes so it's something of a moot point. Edit to add - this reminds me of an...

You got me. I wasn't thinking A3 until the last sentence. That being said, yeah, killing it and downshifting should still be effective as long as the initial speed was high enough where the lockup TC is locked. (A3s have a lockup converter don't they?)
