    M936A2 clunking sound

    Left the shop towel and container to dry and let the particles settle overnight, but the wind blew them off the work bench. It seems the gold/bronze sparkles were either bronze or brass. I tried picking them back up with a magnet with no luck. I guess ill push on and hope for the best after...

    M936A2 clunking sound

    Today, i went to engage the rear pto and when i placed xmsn selector in 1-5, i heard clunk as the xmsn engaged. I went ahead and operated the rear winch, which took about 10 min total. I placed the xmsn in N, then discussed the troubleshooting with the wife. I crawled under the tck, had her put...

    Deuce white smoke on startup...

    Sucking air can cause hard/no starting and white smoking. I had a similar issue on my 01 5.9 for loosing prime due to the in tank pump failure, and my 03 5.9 was sucking air between the tank and the FASS pump and would roll a cloud of white smoke. I took my inline pump and bypassed the truck...

    I use a 5 gpm pump for my 4bt cummins, but its 12v and got it from napa. I think they offer a 24v as well. Would the pump you found not work?

    Deuce white smoke on startup...

    Put an inline elec pump and run a known good fuel line to ip and prime the sys. See if it starts w/o use of stating fluid. Using starting over the yrs may have already caused engine damage.

    M936A1 Wrecker Hydraulic Oil Drain and Filter Change

    Where did get your filter at? I did the same with my 936, but the first timed i drained it, i put it in a 275gal plastic tote. The sec time i drained, i had to replace 2 lift cyl hyd lines. I didnt have an empty tote so i used 5 gal buckets, fuel cans and 2.5gal jugs. I too pulled my filter bc...

    Found this website for light bulbs…

    I went to the closest local oreillys and they said they dont have or could get them. Ill go to the other one that seems to have a more knowledgable staff. To my surprise, napa didnt even offer the bulbs.

    Service lights do not illuminate in the Brake light position

Doing some troubleshooting and looking...

    Electrical Connectors for Tail, Marker and Lollipop lights?

    Yep, saw that price increase too. I too need to replace at least all the m/f connectors on the front lighting, and figured id order 50+ of each, but i may go with a m/f covered spade or pin style connector instead and just liquid tape them

    LED tail lights on the cheap

    A little old of a thread, but since i couldn't find 24V incandescent bulbs at the parts stores, i figured id buy a pack 12v (figuring they were multi-voltage) LEDs for the rear. I got the LED version of the 1156, installed in my park/run sockets and, well, the results were 50/50. The right side...

    Alternator changeout issues

    Well, soldering wire #2 from the regulator to the connection point of where it was broke off from seemed to fix the no charging. I was hesitant at first since i was getting OL on my meter without the output wire connected. I said screw it, what could go wrong and connected the output wire...

    Alternator changeout issues

    Let me see if that is the issue with that alt, by using the other regulator. if it works, then i'll reach out for a replacement resistor, and hopefully i can get the other alt soldered back, then i'll hang test it, and hopefully all is well.
