Hi All
I have been a member and fan of the site for a while now, I finally bought the bullet and bought my first MV. I won an auction for an M925 in Hawaii. I am actually from Hawaii so that should make things easier. I was planning on getting it registered and in good running order and then sending it to California to use in the summers for a tow vehicle ( a little overkill I know.)
I just got the EUC cleard on the 8th and I was going to try to pick it up myself. I am sure the batteries are dead . I read it needs 4 batteries, does anybody know what type that truck takes? Also I have never driven one of these before, do they take keys or are they just push button start?
Sorry for my ignorance, if anybody can chime in I would be really appreciative.
Best Regards
AJ

I only have 2 batteries in each of my trucks and I don't have any problems. No keys, just flip on 2 switches to start it.

Original batteries are "6TL" or you can make regular group 24,s work, No key , A master switch and a starter switch...Good luck with your new truck

That is good too know I can get away using 2 batteries, will have to save some money. Thanks for the info on which type and Derrickl112 thanks a lot of posting the started video, now I won't feel so lost when I crawl in to start it.
I will definately post some pics of it once I recover it.
Thanks again to all.

Well I got the truck off the GL lot last week, thanks again to you guys for the help. I put 2 new costco batteries and 5 gallons of diesel in it and after cranking over for a minute or two it fired right up. The CTIS does not seem to be working, but from what I have read that is nothing new. The cab is in good shape with no signs of rust, a little rust on the hood and there is some in the cargo bed.
The two headlights are missing on it, does anybody know where I can pickup some replacements?
I am attaching a picture of the truck, I will have to take some more.
Thanks again
