    Opinion on towing capacity

    It's part of a loading boom for loading bulk grain cargo ships. I pulled it up and over the levy outside New Orleans.

    Opinion on towing capacity

    As to my statement to the truck being lighter than what it pulls I am correct but yes some of the load is on the tractor, as to understanding of semi-tractor-trailer loading yeah probably forgot more since 1984 when I started driving one, that happened to be a M915, than most will ever know...

    Opinion on towing capacity

    Okay not trying to be rude but how would DOT official be able to know you are overweight? No combination weight listed on data plate, trailer plate should show plenty of capacity. Wouldn't really recommend doing it because it will probably still be fairly slow but as to what the truck will...

    M923 Troop Seats, Tarp and Bows

    Sorry but I am sold out, most that you will find are going to be NOS out of same batch as mine were or used. They are still being manufactured for the Marines as far as I know, but new is very expensive.

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    Have most if not all of the BII for a wrecker and am willing to part with most of it.

    Olive the 923 Full Swap

    Pschycopiolt I would remove the washer and air switch from the transfer case linkage it is a main cause of transfer case breakage, you are smart enough to know when you need all-wheel drive .

    WRECKER AIR VALVE 936a2

    The wreckers are really the only trucks that need the transfer case inter lock!

    WRECKER AIR VALVE 936a2

    Yes I understand that, that valve has a few functions, you are trying to take a short cut, stop. Fix the air leak first then you can check other things. Reread my post above it will cure your "slow" hydraulics. Also the air able control ram is not on the pump but under the floor on the M936...

    WRECKER AIR VALVE 936a2

    Your valve is not the problem, you need to fix the leak. It is probably in your brakes. If you auto idle control isn't working then you probably aren't setting the speed correctly to turn the pump fast enough, 1250 ram is minimum and the transmission should shift into 5th gear, I generally set...

    Starter switch wires

    Okay thanks for all the help guys pulled the harness apart and pulled the wires up and yes the purple is the only small wire that should go there!

    Starter switch wires

    Probably replace entirely, it's 40 years old.

    Starter switch wires

    Where does the two small wires on the starter go from the starter back up into the engine bay? I need to replace mine as they are falling apart.

    Electrical outlet receptacle?

    Okay so I love these guys but the plugs you found are on the wreckers and are not cigarette lighter style plugs. They are for a small handheld drop light, not much like the one shown but a bulb like a tail light and a small metal globe cover that opens like a pair of eye lids. Will see if I can...

    My $40K wrecker (M936A1) refurbished at Memphis Equipment

    So how many hours of labor? Figure that was your LWS, $2500? So 25 hours at $100/hr, seem quite low to me. But also you said 2/3 of the price I listed for complete RSMS reman which would be $100,000.

    My $40K wrecker (M936A1) refurbished at Memphis Equipment

    Okay so hopefully all goes well from here forward. As a side note to completely rebuild a M939 series M931A2 in 2010 was $65,000 and that is a RSMS price where the contract was for hundreds of trucks. The wreckers were around $150k . To anybody who thinks that he was ripped off come on down...

    Change in mississippi tag process 7-1-2021

    Think I would make them put it in writing and CC my lawyer a copy while they are at it. And ask for a copy of the change in law that gives them the right to do so. Bet you a Mugshots burger they won't follow through.

    Change in mississippi tag process 7-1-2021

    It might be that they got sued, not sure, but I have said for years that under Mississippi law it is illegal for them to not issue regular POV tags to 3/4 and up pickup trucks not owned by farmers or businesses, ie F tags and B tags. The local tag offices in Mississippi are run buy untrained...
