I love running these old trucks but man, this one hurts!! 1996 International 4700 with a Jerr dan HPL60 My main cylinder on the wheel lift started puking oil. No problem, get it rebuilt.........not so fast. I think they built the truck around the front pin on that cylinder, I cannot get it to budge. Ok, talk to my hydraulic guy and we can cheat and pull the cylinder apart from under the truck..............wait, not so fast. To add insult to injury, they used a spiral ring as the retainer for the end cap, they could not use an easy screw off type. Naturally, it is all corroded and I had to use the torches to cut it out. Two days on it, off and on and I w…

Hi all. My company has a 2015 Ford F550 with a Jerr Dan MPL40. We have the 10 Function wired remote controller. Recently it as been acting up. When you flip the (Control) Rocker switch this will engage the Clutch Pump PTO and The Red Led light on the 10 Function remote will light up. The issue that is happening is you can flip the switch and hear the PTO pump come on with no problem, but sometimes the remote will not work(Red light off on remote) but the Hydralic levers on the back of the wrecker will work..(Tilt, boom up and down, ECT) When the remote doesn't work, you can flip the Control switch to turn the PTO on and off rapidly and you and get the lig…

I'm buying this truck and the previous owner says its a jerr-dan bed but there are no tags or identifying marks of any kind. The bed is 19 ft long. Controls on both sides. The wheel lift goes up and down independent from the bed but it is lifted but raising up the stabilizer under the back of the truck. I have never seen this before. Can anyone identify this bed?

I also posted this in the questions section but thought it would be better here, thanks I was out tonight and noticed the locking pins on my pivot points for the wheel scoops were not engaged down in the wheel grid after I lifted the vehicle. It seems like there should be shims on the top side of the pivot pin to take up the play so the locking pins will engage. Everything was tight, the scoops stayed in place and it traveled well with no issues. I don't see the reason for the pins if they don't engage. The Vulcan I used to have had pins that dropped in once you installed the scoops. I looked at the parts breakdown for the wheel grid and it doesn't show s…

We have two MPL40 wreckers that we had the factory trailer ball mounts for. Last week I got to a trailer impound for the police and found it was a pintle hitch. I had to call out one of our flatbeds with a pintle to tow it. Today we bought the 2” receiver and had them welded on. They are getting sand blasted and powder coated next. I also got a receiver for a pintle and a tri ball so we can tow anything now. Something else we did long ago was have our local trailer shop make up a plug in wiring harness. It plugs into the 4 pin round on be truck and on the other end has the large trailer plug then they have us all the adapters so we can just plug our lights rig…

Just purchased an MPL 35 and I'm looking for somewhere to purchase where pads for the wheel lift. Everytime I look for wear pads I see just one and I believe that the wear pads are not all the same and even if they are I don't know how many I need. Does anybody have this information? Has anybody changed their own wear pads?

Hi, I just picked up a Jerr Dan with an HPL60 wheel lift and it has the T37 wheel grids. The Cam locks are broken on it. The two vertical appear to be screw in and changeable. The horizontal ones look like the outside is part of the casting and the center pin is missing on both sides. Do they make a repair kit? I cant seem to find it. Thanks in advance

I am very happy with our Jerrdan units. We have 2 MPL40s and 3 Jerrdan flatbeds. They all work well for us and we are happy with Alan and Nussbaum Service. We also have a local shop that does all of our repair and they are great too. These greaseless pin systems have been terrible. Any time a pin needs removed it is a nightmare and turns into a huge labor job. When we used to run Vulcan they were all grease-able and we take care of lubing things so pins would always come right out. Our current issue is on a ten year old MPL40. We are getting some scoring on our boom lift cylinders. Something inside is coming apart and it’s going to need new cylinders. You c…

Has anyone had any issues with the pivot valves/fittings for the auto grids that mount at very bottom when wheel lift is in the transport position? We have a 17 Ram 5500 with an MPL40 that has had nothing but problems with these valve/fittings. Is there anything we can do to keep them from leaking all the time? They loosen up but leak even if they are tight. We have replaced them both multiple times. Any insight would be appreciated Thank you
