So, I used a BAS (big ass screwdriver) on the starter solenoid terminals. Sparks flew, my life passed before my eyes, but I did get a whirling noise from the starter so I went inside the truck and it started. I then restarted 10 times and the truck started 9 out of 10 times. I'm glad the...

I'm having the same issue. I replaced all the batteries (they were old anyway) and still no luck. Then I replaced the starter/solenoid and the truck started for about a month, but now I'm getting the same thunk noise and no starting again. I'll check for a loose ground. Anybody in the...

Thanks again! I spoke with Jeff briefly. He's going to put in a new steering gearbox when he gets time.

Update: Timntrucks saved my butt. Tim drove 2 hours each way to recover my truck. Unlike the photos, the truck had 3 flat tires which Tim filled. It also ran out of gas a few feet out of the gates (thanks GovPlanet) and has a horrible sounding steering gear box. After much priming, Tim got...

I'm near Annapolis. Did Sean have other military vehicles?

Yes, I need both. I'll send you a PM now with the info and my contact info.

Jeff's private messages are full so I sent him an email.

Yeah, I just called GovPlanet and the truck is at an "alternate location". Here's the exact address for other members who might buy trucks from the Mississippi location of GovPlanet. And the Google maps puts the location on Old Highway 49 which is not correct. If you put in the auctioneer...

OK, thanks. The invoice says, Pickup: Keesler AFB, MS 39534 I'll call and confirm before anybody goes to pick up. Is there a battery warehouse near Keesler AFB?

By the way, are any of you Maryland locals interested in making a few bucks by helping me make some repairs to my m923a2. Nothing major. Defrost lever, trans temp gauge, slow leak in front tire (maybe CTIS, maybe tire?).....

That's pretty early, but I'll try to make it since Ollie will be there.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, it is GovPlanet which is just like GL. It needs to be removed by January 19th which is a holiday so I will find out if that means it must be out by the 16th. Yes, I will need temp storage. Let me know your rates for removal and storage. The inspection says they...

I just bought a m931a2 at Keesler, AFB in Mississippi. The truck looks good in the photos and inspections. Anybody in MS that could check it out and/or drive it out for me in the next week or so? If not, looks like I got a road trip in my future. [thumbzup] Thanks!

After I posted my message, I thought to search on egt and boost and up came photos. It has been a long week. Brain is slow. But, please post more photos. I'm leaning towards the Westach dual gauge now.
