Now all you need is some nice tall side boards and to post up some pictures for us!

Sadly I think John passed away quite some time ago. Sounds like your PCB box relay or wiring is bad. Unfortunately running it like you describe has likely fried the ABS, and if an A2 the CTIS as well. Check this thread out. Go to post #26 and use this procedure to start your truck. If your...

Or have you considered just chaining that axle up if you’re just trying to tow it a short distance?

I’ve got a torque rod with good ends I’ll trade you for that “junk” truck![emoji6] If you can stabilize that axle with binders front and back, release the brakes somehow, and just pick the whole back of the truck up with the wrecker and see if the drivetrain unwinds.

The truck loaded will also make an excellent compactor for tracking in your building pads.

M929 will make a fine farm hauler. You’ll be better off with the nhc250, the 8.3 has a hell of a time getting rolling, overloaded in high range, if it’s soft. You may want the first gen A0 with the dual wheels as well if you’re doing a lot of steep work, and still need to keep your cool and run...

Try a chain and binder around the mount just below the separated end. You may need to jack up one side of the rear axle, then release the brakes in neutral to get any bind out of the drive train. It also may be possible to carefully torque the axle housing around with the brakes set using the...

10” on the rear, 8” on the front.

Brakes, don’t forget the brakes! Got through them end to end.

I don’t think an 8.3 non turbo was ever put in a 5ton. Not sure if an 8.3na was ever even produced? You’re probably mistaken the M939 series nhc250 for the 6cta8.3 in the M939a2

I just made an interesting observation on both of my A2‘s, but they are not wreckers. 90% of the rubber lines or braided, air, power steering transmission are reusable fittings. However, all of the hydraulic lines that I can see for the winch system on my M925 are all crimp fittings.

I think the top link is all irrelevant stuff, FMTV hydraulic cab lift, and jacketed air lines… @Mullaney s wrecker looks like a mixture with the uppers being reusable, likely replaced the crimp hose in the “field” by the motor pool guys when his cover was smashed? @Csm Davis may have some...

Bump up the threads you’re reading with reusable fittings, or drop a link here, and we can try tracking down who maybe able to answer this question.

Not sure if it’s the correct vehicle or not, but they have a couple of these sitting around down in Ft Pierce that you could maybe check out?

Been a long time since we had this question, everyone knows the 8.3 is better! I think all the 250 guys got their popcorn taken away and banned from the site. Now on the serious side we kinda need to know how you plan on using the truck? Mostly highway, a lot of off road, mostly crane work, or...

C series cummins, 6b big brother. A serious garbage truck/school bus motor. If it will fit, It’ll be a fun! Don’t rule out the IH dt360 garbage bus motor as well, there a dime a dozen, and make the 5.9 “IH Cumins” guys heads explode.

Bad ground

Yes

Well crap, wasn’t thinking clearly, the vents are 1/4” dot tube! Mine are out of a lot of Alkon brand made in Brazil that I’ve had around forever. Probably bought from New Life Transport, not sure if either still exist though? Also they separate easily with just your fingers. If you get one you...

Hopefully a clearer view of my setup. I keep it and an air hose to run off my glad hand in my truck at all times.
