Over all it looks like you have a nice wrecker. Congrats to the both of you. I`m sure you will get to use it at the Ga rally ![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")

I have the correct feet for that tow bar if you didn't get the right ones. That one uses 1 and 1/8th inch pins, not the 1" like a medium.

Congrats guys! awesome looking wrecker! I tried to use mine last night and the hard line going to the hoist motor blew a leak. On a side note the D600 WVO collection truck looks shiny new!

I would talk to glen (91w350) I'm sure he can get you a good used one for a very fair price compared to cummins.

I'm pretty sure he is looking for options OTHER than replacing the motor block.

It's the timing cover, not the block (thank god). I'm wondering what would have caused it to bulge from the inside enough to crack the timing cover and break the little cover, yet the motor runs great.

From the tm 2320-260-34-1 (same motor)
Measure shim(s) (12) as a pack with micrometer. Add or subtract shim(s) (12) from pack to provide
a clearance of 0.001-0.005 in. (0.0254-0.127 mm) for engines with camshaft thrust plate or
a clearance of 0.001-0.005 in. (0.0254-0.127 mm) for engines with camshaft thrust plate or
0.008-0.013 in. (0.2032-0.3302 mm) for engines with camshaft outboard bearing support
this suggest that if the WRONG clearance (with/without thurst plate) could cause this

**** another lucky guy/gal with a wrecker! What'd you pay for it? Wrecker is next on my list, I'd like to get an A2 but a plain ol 936 would be fine too...

$6,216.10 after everything said and done. After reading through the T.M. we were even happier that we went with M936 instead of the A1 or A2.

So that was planned, or it just worked out that way?

Planned, but didn't know it at the time. I'll explain, we knew we didn't want one with super singles because most sit with flats for long periods at a time and knowing we would probably be driving it back we didn't want to chance it. So, unknowingly we were wanting a M936.

Ok, this is everything that was on the truck, except the two big boom legs they are way heavy.
