    Current SF97 wait time?

    Bought a M936 from them on 8.21.2019, paid immediately by wire transfer (no credit card chargeback available). It took them over a month to get my EUC filed on 9.24.2019. They said 8 - 12 weeks. Haven't heard a word since. It's been 129 days since the sale. I've emailed them several...

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    Don't forget, thousands of Federal employees have jobs because of your EUC. You want to put those people out of work?

    Adding a turbo to 1984 M936

    I did a researching. It's not impossible, but it ain't exactly bolt-on either. Hard pass on a turbo.

    First time owner; Paint Questions; Anyone in Houston?

    All great information. I'm okay spending a few hundred dollars on paint and a sprayer. I like your idea about all green, then going back with black and brown. Are the wheels supposed to be green or black?

    Wreckers: Do people buy them for hobby or use?

    I bought mine as an advertising tool for my business, but mostly a hobby. Fun to drive around in!

    First time owner; Paint Questions; Anyone in Houston?

    So I purchased a 1984 M936 (still waiting on EUC). It has some minor body damage, but the paint is badly faded (the black looks gray; the brown looks tan). The front right fender will need either hammering or replacement, and painting. I'm considering doing the whole truck, so it looks...

    How are ya'll locking/securing your 5-tons?

    How do ya'll lock up your trucks? I know about the chain around the steering wheel, but that never convinced me, even in the motor pool. This truck may spend some time alone at the property until we get the house built. I'd hate to see it "departed". Are there any easy kill switch tricks...

    What's a bii kit? Basic issue, idiot?

    M936 Wrecker shipping weight?

    I'm trying to ship an M936, and have some really, really, really good rates (I'd think it would almost cost that in fuel). Regardless, I don't want to get slapped with a "not as described" fee from the shipper if the truck weighs more than the auction site posted. The listed weight on the...

    M936 Wrecker hitch receiver. Gooseneck?

    Could you get me a closer pic of the pintle hook? That seems like a possibility.

    M936 Wrecker hitch receiver. Gooseneck?

    I just got a (still unseen) M936 wrecker. I haven't even seen the back of it yet, but know that I want a 2" hitch receiver. I've searched the others, and it seems the deuce guys got lucky and can just order a bolt-on hitch. I'm pretty sure I'll have to fabricate something. Does anyone have a...

    M936? Is this the right forum?

    Where to get the tools and accessories that are missing? For example, a search of that vice NSN (5120-00-243-9072) comes back with a sales price of $1,168, and it isn't even green! I'm sure a bunch of this stuff is vehicle-specific (I already know how to get pipe wrenches). What's the best...

    M936? Is this the right forum?

    Fuzzy, I'm hoping I didn't outbid you at the last minute!

    M936? Is this the right forum?

    Also, what is missing on the front bumper (broken brackets)?

    M936? Is this the right forum?

    I purchased an M936 (sight unseen!!) in an auction today, sort of by accident. I knew that I wanted a 5-ton wrecker, although I don't know much about this particular truck (yet). I searched this forum for 936 and came up with no results. Is this the right forum for this truck...
