    Elijah95s wrecker project

    Well if it helps at all my M936A2 was "mint" (literally was bought from DRMO in 2016 and stored in a hangar had 900 miles) and it had water in the crane cases. Not so much the winch cases. I think the exposure to temperature changes just condenses it really bad. The hydraulic fluid is good...

    New in-tank fuel pump

    Probably not. Maybe after a lot of cranking but you will likely run out of battery first. Also not good for the starter you would really work it hard. Also how are you periodically draining the bowl on the primary fuel filter without it? The high pressure pump in the governor/pump/injector...

    New in-tank fuel pump

    Yes it runs fine with a dead pump. Pulls straight through the stock pump. Mine's been dead for a minute..... Problem is filter changes. There are adaptable in tank pumps out there. For the price though I would go to a marine rated Walbro. They are about the same cost and the "gold standard" in...

    M35A3 CTIS

    I only have the M939 series to compare to so take it with a grain of salt but the following from that: -The 5 flashing lights means a TON of stuff. Look in the Dana CTIS troubleshooting guide I believe it's still available for download from their website. The only controller I lost failed to...

    M35A3 CTIS

    I suggest you down load and run the M939 series P2P program and study the CTIS section. I know it's not your truck but the CTIS theory will be the same. It's super helpful to understand exactly how it works. It's animated..... You'll have to play some computer tricks but I got it to work with...

    M35A3 CTIS

    If all the components are good: yes. Is it fully functioning? Just unplug the controller. You may have some leak by in the wheel valves over time as it's just another way for air to get out. Otherwise should be fine. The wheel valves won't open unless given a pulse of air by the controller and...

    Starter is acting up

    It's sticky. Gummed up with old grease, dust, rust, etc... When the batteries are topped it has just that extra oomph to get out there but if not it sticks.... sometimes. Take it off and clean it up. While you're there take a look at the cables and grounds and stuff why not. Hardest part about...

    Replace in-tank pump with external solid state pump

    I don't trust the Airtex I've had them fail in other applications. The solid state pumps are pretty good but I've only used them for small gasoline engines. Maybe they will work for the M35A2 because they can pull through. The multifuel pump is really only there to prime. Mine just died on my...

    Yermo, pickup non running HMMWV

    I was there about a month ago. Observed other folks getting stuff. Some notes: -They will put air in the tires so it rolls (if they will hold air) -If the machine moves under it's own power they WILL NOT place it on your trailer -If the machine will not move under it's own power they will put it...

    GovPlanet Wins Dec 2022

    Bought three 18k Warn winch kits. If I sell 2 of them I get one for pretty cheap. Bought an M105A2 trailer. Since I had to go get the trailer I also bought two pallets of random truck parts. Drove the 936 to get it all was about $900 in fuel. Going to eBay the random truck parts and stuff with...

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    I believe you. I was told this in regard to the many 4, 6, 8 and 12-71 series we ran. The explanation was the blowers lost the seals. But we didn't build our own blowers we swapped them. I never saw it happen. Cracked liners IIRC the most common problem. Probably got told some marine folklore...

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    Overspeed trip. They had a nasty habit of eating their own sump, running away, going KABLOOEY. It's a Detroit thing....

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    No problem. I have no idea how to get an item for somebody else. Set it up and PM me I'll pick it up and UPS it to you when I get back.

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    This has been on the list for awhile. The Tundra comes with a class 4 but the hitch I have won't go high enough. It's been an issue with a couple MQ gensets I have to tote around but I've just been dealing with it. The hitch I have has a few bolt hole adjustments I think I'll find a big plate...

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    Beat me to it I was going to say check the shutdown damper as well. I worked with a bunch of 71's in the marine biz this got guys all the time.

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    Well let me know. It looks like the best vehicle I have to tow an M1102 is the M936A2. Would use the Tundra but the hitch height is pretty different. I can pick it up and drop it in Reno or take it back to Felton. Put it on a pallet in the yard for awhile or drop it at your favorite shipper in...

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    Hahaha joke's on me. I bought a trailer and totally spaced on the fact it's in Doyle. Maybe I'll be the one getting this stuff for YOU! I've got another item up there on auction and am going to try and put them off after that one closes on the 20th. I should be able to get up there first week...

    Pickup in Doyle, CA (need a small item picked up?)

    EDIT: I won a trailer. I'm going. So instead of needing an item picked up[ do YOU need something picked up? So I got a wrecker ring gear for a great price but have to get it now. This item is the bearing under the crane so it's about 30" in diameter and weighs maybe 200 pounds. It's a two...

    Cannon Plugs

    That link I posted above: go to that and open the "Technical Datasheet" link. This will open the catalog that governs the layout. Amphenol military is WEIRD in that their layout nomenclature is different than anybody else. For example if you told me you were looking for a XXXX-20-17P I would...

    5-ton Battery Kill Switch??

    Pretty much any of the heavy duty ones will work. I have one with a little key. I mounted mine at the dead space at the end of the battery box, like above, along with a 70A 24/12 voltage converter and a fuse box for 12V stuff. Probably do a little inverter and remote on/off at some point. Lots...
