Disregard Will, I went to Woodwards site and they have a chart for resistance values for various models of solenoids Regards, Bob

Will, any idea of the amp draw on the "pull" leg of the FSOS? Thanks Regards Bob

ryanaubra, you may have to cut out some of your cowl for the rear brake housing to fit under. stevepala would know for sure. Regards, Bob

Also be advised that aluminum wheels are much "thicker" at the bolt pattern section of the disk...you will need to install longer wheel studs to mount these wheels. Regards, Bob

The unitized style seal SKF (CR) PN is 47660 and the National PN is 370051A. I have had good luck with both of these in the drive axles (M936). If you haven't installed this type of seal before, read the manufacturer's install procedures...this style of seal is not installed like the steel cased...

acme66, what is a "munched" liner? If you only have one hole that is damaged, you don't have to do an entire in-frame kit. The one nice thing about the old small cam 855 is there is not much to remove to fix one hole..."light weight" aluminum base pan, exhaust manifold without a turbo to...

Thanks 1954 COE, don't have any "in process" pics during the rear hitch build (it was a hurry up and "gitter done" weekend project). The front weight added roughly 8-900lbs, and like I said, for most towes it has helped a great deal. When I pick a truck and my steer axle loses safe "road...

I like the transmission reverse ratio (high range w/duels, not singles) especially when backing up trailers and disabled vehicles...don't usually need the slower reverse ground speeds of the low range transfer. That being said, in the mid 80's I had to take a M936 (37,000lbs +/-) over to Pope...

Ron, I thought before about using removable wedges under the rear axle, but the 936 is more convoluted in the frame axle area than the older juice brakers? If a length of hardwood was temp "clamped" to the frame over the grommet would do the same job of filling the void and moving back the...

wreckerman, I think that I would definitely have a good time "absorbing" a beir while studying the finer characteristics of the hydro-chock engineering of your old machine! Regards, Bob

I have also grappled with the trunnion being so many feet away from the hook. I still plan on putting air springs between the rear axle and frame someday to at least get a couple of feet more leveredge. Putting about 900 pounds counterweight on the front bumper has helped out for most tows...

Nothing against the 400, but I think my eventual "EPA mandated" M936 engine swap will be to a N14 (somewhere around the 500HP range would be nice). Regards, Bob

Being in a very "road salt" environment, I appreciate the ease of maintenance of outboard drum s-cam brakes...but I also really like the stopping power of the Rockwell Stopmaster wedge air-brakes when heavily loaded. Regards, Bob

Is that 350 a big or small cam? If it is a big cam, I don't think the heads would work on the 250. There should be a ton of used turbos out there though. Regards, Bob

If you use the red/orange extended life coolant, you should not use SCAs. Regards, Bob

With respect to to parking brake comment, by the time that the air pressure in the spring-brake chambers vents/dumps when the parking brake is initially applied, my truck can roll quite a distance (10 feet or more) if on a slope...I also realize that the service brake should be kept "applied"...

I should have said that I had called for a hoisting bar and extension leg assembly off of a wrecker body...not the crane portion. The bar grease plugs are 1/8th pipe recessed "allen" style (about a 1/4" long) and set flush with the tube. External plugs or zerks would be a definite concern as...

Zebedee, I have the same/similar holes in my hoisting-bar (engineered/fabbed by me coincidentally, originally by Holmes Inc. I'm sure)... mine are plugged with 1/8th recessed pipe plugs. Once a year or so I plan on removing the plugs (looks good on paper at least), installing zerks, and 10-20...

Whenever we scaled the steer axle on the m936's, they usually came in around 13,500 pounds. My front bumper counterweight is nearing completion. When done I will render a report with pics. Regards, Bob

What model truck is it? If it is a M939 series, it is vented into the intake. Regards, Bob
