    Dryer constantly purging

    For right now, as in today, can I bypass it, or prevent it from purging altogether?

    Dryer constantly purging

    Please clarify. Mechanically, what in the air dryer is causing this?

    Dryer constantly purging

    Update: Solved by replacing the dryer. Last year, on my '91 M936A2, the air dryer started purging as soon as I turned on the truck (0psi in tanks). One of the smart people told me to rotate the 3/8" bolt on the purge port (bottom), and it worked. It happened again just now and I tried the same...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Please keep detailed pics or video of the process and tools/parts needed. I’ve been meaning to do mine for few years but other life properties get in the way. I do not have any parts other than frame takeout of the TD power train

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    Any visible part numbers on the single and double sheave snatch blocks? Are those the larger ones for the rear drag winch, or the smaller front one?

    Front winch removal and teardown

    Just go slow on the non powered side. You have to work the dog legs out, but it all comes out. I did have a problem with stuck key, still need to clean up the chewed up edges.

    Front winch removal and teardown

    For others that are looking at seals. The smaller seal on the shaft: 387 31 PAFZZ 5330-00-740-9697 7409697 19207 SEAL,PLAIN,ENCASED After some digging, here is what I found: https://mechanidrive.com/federal-stock-number-5330-00-740-9697-equivalent-replacement-oil-seal/ Also, looks like Timkin...

    Front winch removal and teardown

    Yes. It took a bit of doing, but she's all apart. The other seal (smaller one) is ripped as well, so now I'm trying to locate it. Whacha need? The winch is apart, so any pictures or parts are easy enough to photograph and send over.

    What do you mean, you don't have the sockets?

    What else do you have? Also, do you ever come down to Rio Rancho area?

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    That seems like a decent price. What was the combined weight and size that you declared?

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    Do you know the exact size if 2 were put together and their combined weight? Also, do you have any other stuff for the wrecker (towbar, snatch blocks, wiffleboard/ hoisting bar, chains, etc.) that might be included on a pallet to help with overall freight charges? Basically most of the BLL items.

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    I understand. Freight like that only makes sense to throw it on a truck/trailer that's already driving thru the town (in my case ABQ) and I could meet a person at one of the truck stops on their way. Or, if other items are included/attached. I got the MT654 tranny sent to me a few months back...

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    I thought about that. While I have a lathe and could probably cobble something together, I thought that if the ball was somewhere around 2" or 2-5/16", simply threading or welding a towing ball into/onto the tube, would be an easy task.

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    I wish you were closer to me. I got the M936 wrecker, and it didn't come with any attachments. I need the spades, tow bar, snatch block, etc.

    Thinking of building the M936 spades

    Anyone ever thought or did make their own spades? Officially called "Wrecker Field Chock / Mud Leg", NSN# 2540-00-315-2306 and 3830-00-315-2306 These are hard to come by, and I was thinking perhaps I could even build it so the spade end was removable and the arm could be used as a spreader bar...

    M936A2 wrecker tranny needed - Can I use MT654 instead of MT654CR

    Gaskets -- do you make them or source them already made?

    Thanks guys. I just ordered this: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/FPG3157

    Gaskets -- do you make them or source them already made?

    Is $17 for this 36"x36" a good price? I've never had to make my own gaskets, so don't know what to expect. https://www.ebay.com/itm/192436161517
