With you 100% on the heat. It has been miserable here. Hot and really muggy. Had no rain for about 3 weeks - then for the last three days rain for a few hours - and it gets even more sticky and miserable.
Really glad that you got your truck working. They really are useful. Just being...

Congratulations!!!
Oh happy day... Funny how things work. Or maybe don't work.
Glad to have your boom jacked up.
Now let's have fun. Lower that boom, zip-tie a flag to it and stick it back up in the air!
Stand back and admire (repeat as necessary for inspiration)

Wow. That looks pretty nice. I do know for sure that 2000# should be minimum output. I just can't figure out if 2500# should be the minumum. And then the rest of the picture is volume once you know the pressure. That volume number either makes things dog slow or move faster than they...

I looked through the TM's and I have not found it (pressure specs) anywhere.
I know I have seen 2000# and I could have sworn that I have seen 2500#.
Wanting hard evidence though - and so far it is only a guess.
Stumbling along through some website, I found oil filled 0-4000 pound gauges and...

There is a thread about remote control for the M936 by one of our guys. Has a list of parts and information for remote operation:

One thing to consider is that the electrical powered valves are ON or...

Just a quick read on the Counterbalance Valve link... Very Interesting.
As described, that system (valve) should require hydraulic pressure to lower the boom.
IE: Motor Running, Hydraulic Pump engaged and pumping fluid.
The M936 that I have with the boom up can be lowered with the...

Talking about GP:
I have seen this discussed before, but it is really interesting that my most recently purchased thing included an invoice. That invoice doesn't show the 2.95% credit card fee on that invoice. That is interesting. Funny that the credit card companies won't allow that...

My opinon FWIW is anything you could find in the military warehouses for these hydraulic cylinders will be old and tired. Most (not all) warehouses are not environmentally controlled and rubber and nylon will have already deteriorated.
All the NSN parts are listed in the TM. A picture might...
I have to agree with Ferroequinologist .
Just because you have two New Old Stock (NOS) pieces of hardware doesn't mean there aren't problems with the seals on the lift cylinders. It does seem odd that both of them would fail at the same time immediately after installation though. The...
