Is it possible to allow comments from forum members in the For Sale section? I have a few things that I would post of sale and I would pay the fees to be able to do this on the condition that other members could post in my ads. When you have conversation on an item it brings it up to the top...

Just out to air my issues and warn some members about a new trend at GL. In addition to the higher buyer fee. Enjoy the 12%+ you have to watch out for reserve not met auctions. I was unaware of these. I put down my highest bid and walked away. It was reserve not met and I figured ok by me...

I am putting an M817 dump truck back together. I got it from GL without the battery or start switch. I have the switch and searched the TM and this is what I found Disconnect wires (21) and (22) from ignition switch (23). Disconnect wires (12), (13), and (15) from battery switch (11). That...

On mine when i first got it I had some issues with the fuel system that i got cleared up but when i finally got it running it would make more then 100 volts. I couldn't adjust the voltage with the control. It didn't matter where i turned the control. When i flashed the fields I would get...

After I repaired a voltage regulator I had to remove a bit of potting materials. I have seen other people make repairs. does anyone replace the potting materials? If so what to use and where to get it.

My MEP-005a is only making around 100 volts. The voltage control doesn't function. Previously it worked. So reading around it seems like the diodes in the voltage regulator are bad. Removing the board, the diodes on the voltage regulator look swollen and corroded. I removed the gel...

I got the mep5 out today and wanted to make sure it was running good for the winter. I started up with a slave since the batteries were a little low. It fired right up no problem but it was only making 100 volts. The voltage adjustment didn't do anything. I know it worked last year. I had...

Looking for some answers on teh best place to buy some replacement glow plugs for a m1009. There seems to be alot of debate and some of the threads I read are a bit dated. Has anything new come out on what to use? and where is the best place to buy them?

Does the boom on an M936 wrecker rotate 360 degrees? I was looking through the TM and it says to use the vehicle boom to remove the spare tire. Looking for some information on this. thanks

I have a winch setup from a M818 that I want to put on a M817 without a winch. The dump has a PTO on the transmission. Can I use the same PTO for the front winch from the dump? Everything else should be about the same right? I don't have a PTO control lever in the dump? So do i use the M818...

Has anyone else been charged tax on trucks or other titleable vehicles? I just bought a truck the other day and i noticed i was charged tax on it. Do I have to pay the tax twice when i get it titled at the notary? Or do i take a copy of the invoice and show i paid tax on it already?

After quite a bit of searching in the 5 ton forums. I haven't found much of anything on replacements and what parts will interchange. I am looking to see if the dog bone / torque rods what ever you want to call it from an M816 wrecker are the same between the other M809 trucks. Are they the...

I found out today why one of my M813 doesn't have working front wheel drive. The front hubs have the splines removed. I got it from the military this way. I don't know if that happened to anyone else, but i need a source to buy a a pair. This is not intended to be a wanted to buy thread...

Ok I got my engine running with a rebuilt pump from badger diesel. But now i am having some issues on the generator end. First the load gauge shows full load for some reason without anything connected. Second at as much throttle I can put to the engine I am only at 59 HZ. I have tried to...

I just got a transfer case PTO for one of my project trucks. I looked through the TM's and all the posts here I could find on it. I am wondering if anyone has any pics on one installed. I see where the oil line goes, I have gotten the collar, oil line, PTO, lever that goes in the cab, and...

I am looking for the PS magazine articles that cover the M816 wrecker. I remember reading them on the old site but i didn't save them on my computer. Does anyone have them? I am looking for the tips and tricks of the wrecker, the BII and which box they sould be in etc. yes i have looked...

I have a line of a 300 hp 5.9 cummins 6bt. I was thinking on putting it in a duece. Would the transmission hold up to the torque? Or would that be a problem. I am looking at the extra power to help pull the hills here in Pa. It would be really great to stay in top gear on the hills. Has...
