Drop into low range well before getting to the hill, find a gear it will pull in that will allow you to hold around 15-1600 RPM (prob third) and let her pull all the way to the top. The engine does not have to be screaming for the truck to be pulling. That is why you have Low and High ranges...

It's been a couple of years since I saw Wayne Kieth. I assume he is still doing the wood gas thing. He lives about 40 miles from me near Springville, AL. My neighbor and I have discussed building a wood gassifier but we both have projects that over ride doing it right now. We were going to...

Nice.......ya did good.

Some people just need killing.

I have known these trucks since 1991 and those solenoids have always been problematic. If you stood in the Motor Pool on a quiet night you could hear them disengaging on all the trucks with low batteries. The wrecker I was baby sitting had the same issue as yours. I yanked it out and manually...

I did it on my bobber. One of our fellow members still has it. I fabbed the stacks from two Marine Corps HUMVEE fording exhaust pipes and ran flex pipe from the turbo to the splitter I made from scratch. It sounded pretty good. Tried to find a pic but no joy.

The air dryers are problematic on these trucks. That would be my first step. Several vendors on here stock replacements or rebuild kits.

They had a HEMMT/PLS rebuild program for a short time at Camp Shelby, MS but I think it is all gone now. CSM Davis may want to jump in on this.

Tougher than woodpecker lips.

Anything a M936 can't pull it just pulls apart.

Where did that kinder, gentler Ron go? You're a mean old man Mister.

Even my co-driver, Elmo D. Possum, got tired of that.

I once had the dubious honor of driving an M915 from Fort Benning, GA to the National Training Center in California. As stated the spring ride suspension will beat your teeth out and make your kidneys hate you. I was more than happy to fly back on a C-5A. They would make a great day cab tractor...

I don't need another project, I don't need another project, I don't need ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!auaauaaua

I'd lose those stock fuel filters and replace with spin on. I just changed the stock ones on a deuce I'm taking care of it it was a bit*h kitty.

You done real good Son.

Did you say it has a "Buzzin Dozin" to power the blower? Overkill is underrated.

Until vibration wears a hole in the bottom and the cab is filled with windshield wiper fluid. Ask me how I know.

The M36A2 I babysat for so long had this problem. It will drive you nuts. You could run the crane all day long at about 1300 RPM but if you took it out on the road and ran it wide open it would eventually start sucking wind and die. If you pulled over and let it idle for a while you could limp...

In Germany one time I ended up at an Army airfield in a deuce with an empty fuel tank. I knew the data plate on the deuce said "Do not use aviation grade gasoline" but I was bone dry and miles from the next military fuel point. I found an old Chief Warrant Officer and told him my plight. He...
