    Cummins 6CTA8.3 Injection Timing

    I have a straight pipe on the wrecker and it is not terrible but if I were to change any others I would use a cheap straight through flow muffler.

    M923--air valve on front axel lockout valve leaks

    Take it off and just use the switch on the dash to engage the front axle, it will allow you to use low range rear drive only for use on hard surfaces like in a parade.

    Anyone commit sacrilege and weld 16.5 inch rims to convert to 17 inch rims?

    Was being smartass, but you are overlooking the inside of the bead. It will need to be raised also. The safest and probably cheapest would be to buy some 17" shells or junkyard steel wheels and cut and weld them to the humvee 16.5" wheels.

    Anyone commit sacrilege and weld 16.5 inch rims to convert to 17 inch rims?

    Why not go up to 20" and use Hemmet rims?

    M936 Wrecker Boom - Replacement Winch Cable - What about Stainless Cable?

    Juan I would suggest using a standard cable lube then apply the coating that Simp has suggested. I am fairly certain the military used cosmoline. https://www.cosmolinedirect.com/

    M936 Wrecker - Better Plumbing Guide for Hydraulics?

    Steam and dawn dish soap works pretty much on everything. And it won't damage anything most of the time.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Are you still running humvee rims? If so 65 psi sounds a little extreme, maybe do the chalk test. Most of the humvee rims are stamped 55 psi max.

    M1028 6" lift

    Has anybody else had a problem with the rear shock axle mounts? The lift has rolled the rear axle up in the front enough that the passenger side shock won't mount.

    Wrecker bed modification

    Best mounting points I have ever seen were along the outside of the frame, under the bed from the rear, with a hole drilled in the foot of the spade and a wing nut used to hold it to the body of the truck.
