    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    The reply stated that because you posted in a thread about harmonic balancers for a 6.2 diesel, in the CUCV section. Simple mistake, just wasn't caught right away.

    New Purchase...M816!

    The m936 wrecker uses the exact same winch as the m816 and m543, no free spool capability. If you look underneath the back of your m816 at the chain drive on the 45k winch you will find the only difference in the m936 rear winch setup. On the m816 the PTO shaft powers that smaller gear box on...

    New Purchase...M816!

    Great to hear on the front winch, sucks about the rear winch. To remove it I'd just wrap it with a ratchet strap to hold it together. With a replacement rear there are always options. The stock rear 45k is power in/out only, no freespool capability which makes it a pain to use with a crew and...

    Wrecker Crane Remote Control

    $1300 for the remote and receiver (quick search online for the 92210). Not including the actuators, setting up the power, etc. Doable with enough money. Tend to lose fine adjustments with electric controls which may or may not be a concern to others, the upper level electric controls allow for...

    Is This One of Us? This Is Incredible to See

    As far as vehicles to be driven through deep water, these older trucks are designed to be one of the best at it. Minimal electronics, no water absorbing interior components, no computers, etc. Instructions for HOW to set them up for water fording as well. If you're not willing to use your...

    Leave duals or go Singles

    Could present a chisel effect on the hub flange/wheel stud inner portion, and the lug nut with those spacers being just a hair too short. As the wheel studs flex the sleeve (lets say it's 1/2 a mm short of the correct length) would make contact with those surfaces, putting alot the load into a...

    Leave duals or go Singles

    To completely fill the void would require custom machined lug nuts per each stud, that are specific to that stud and wheel in only that position. Any time the wheel is dismounted from the hub it would have to go on in exactly the same location and orientation, same with each specialized lug nut...

    Leave duals or go Singles

    Ears started burning, had to find out who was talking about me haha. My wheel studs failure is an oddball. Not the original studs and had the aluminum Caimen mrap wheels which are much thicker than the steel combat or hemmt wheels. So I'd say don't consider that failure with the common super...

    hydro flow and psi on m936a2

    The pump on the transmission (for the front winch) is 35gpm, the one for the crane is much bigger. We know the tcase PTO turns at 1:1, the m936a2 operates at 1500rpm, and max PSI is 2500. If the 16.5 cubic inch per rotation of the crane pump is correct, then it's 107gpm.

    which are the most used heavy duty wrench sockets on older 5-tons

    No it won't fit. For the wheel nuts the 4 point is necessary.

    Lexus vs M931 bobtailed, got rear ended

    That's why on the wrecker I hang the towlights off the rear, more than doubles the amount of rear light.

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Wrecker is off the trailer now and into it's parking spot, where it's gonna sit for a few weeks while I'm working on the pickup. Next time the wrecker rolls it'l be on either 11r24.5"s or 12r24.5"s. Reason the outrigger on the passenger side rear isn't fully extended is because the actual tubing...

    which are the most used heavy duty wrench sockets on older 5-tons

    For most of the sizes you wont find a metric tool that fits right. That's why there are both metric and SAE wrenches/sockets. Using metric sizes on SAE bolts will end up rounding off the heads.

    which are the most used heavy duty wrench sockets on older 5-tons

    The sizes on these old trucks are all SAE, nothing metric from the factory. Common sizes are 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 3/4. Friends of mine have had good luck with their Milwaukee tools, I use Ridgid.

    Lexus vs M931 bobtailed, got rear ended

    Some people pass others out here going around blind turns on mountain roads, all about "me me me gotta get there now". Looks like he hit you almost square on, can see where the pintle was in the hood.
