    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    List of the part #'s for the extra long studs and the offset lug nuts. I'm using the stock studs on the rear axles with the offset lug nuts. Up front I'm using the stock lug nuts with the extra long wheel studs, studs on the receipt are 1/4" longer than the 'extra long studs' sold by the...

    Hand Crank Deuce

    Old thread but, the Startwell manual starter looks like the most viable option. Pump the handle a few times then press the button. Access to the handle would be a concern, maybe mount it so the handle is underneath? Or an air starter.

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Made some more progress today, despite setbacks. Damaged 3 of the studs when removing them from the middle axle hub on the passenger side, so they will need to be replaced. That hub had a bad seal, oil had washed out most of the grease, and the wheel cylinder had seen better days so took it...

    Looks like you got pretty lucky with the lack of rust. Have you dealt with the asbestos lined ducts at the front yet?

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Last fall when I was looking for a replacement CV joint for that shaft I had zero luck getting my hands on a replacement boot at the local shops. Will try again. The joints that are in it currently work, but the boots on both sides leak. Went to the local heavy truck dealership and picked up...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    True. Difference between safety aware, and a safety nazi. Awareness is appreciated (like when yall pointed out the crane support legs). For now the cable is just rolled up around the bumper. Front winch will need cable and the level wind assembly rebuilt because nothing moves in it, even after...

    My new M109

    In low range your shifter should be close to the floorboard, but not sitting on it. If it is adjust the linkage, might not be going completely into low range which would cause grinding.

    Looking for seat reviews?

    I'm using the MRAP jump seats. These pics are from when they were in my deuce, now the driver seat is in the m816 wrecker. Much more comfortable than stock, easy to install in a soft top truck. With a hard top you need to angle the seat forward to clear the back wall because these are...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    There's still more kinks in the cable that's on the drum. Pulled off around 80ft so far. Greased all the joints on the truck saturday as well, about 5 tubes worth of grease between the truck, crane, and 2 winches. Needless to say there was alot of grease required for the truck. Easy to do...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Pics loaded woohoo! First few pics are from before the PTO was removed from the transmission. As yall can see, it was leaking pretty badly. One of the 3 worst leaks on the truck. The other 2 big leaks are from the PTO shaft running to the crane. Can't find new boots for that shaft so nothing I...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    On the 7.8L multifuel it would be a good upgrade, maybe as a bottom turbo in a towing compound setup on a 8.3L. Too small for the NHC250.
