I got it! Charged them one at a time, about 12 hours each at 2a. Fired right up. I'm glad I heard from y'all before I got the magic smoke. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll run home at lunch and hook it up.

Oh no! These batteries look brand new. So I need to disconnect each battery and charge it individually? It is so intricately wired in there I was nervous about disconnecting. Do I need all four to turn it over or will two do it? What is the magic smoke y'all speak of?

I went to get in the truck Saturday to take a cruise only to find my battery switch already flipped. The only thing I can think is my son clicked it on the way out a week ago. Of course the gauges did not even click. A friend of mine with an F250 connected cables to the battery pack, got noise...

Very nice, thanks I'll look through in the morning. I have all of the manuals, but want sure what to send mechanic. Thanks!

My truck is in the shop and had been for a few weeks. My mechanic is about done, but wanted to check a few more things. He got it where it would shift into low, but is having trouble coming out. He is thinking maybe there is a spring missing. Can anyone point in the right direction for...

I finally found a mechanic that seems to know the truck. I'm taking it in next week. The shudder has started happening more on short trips. In ten miles the other day it happened three times. In testing, it happens on smooth or bumps, temperature doesn't seem to make a difference, speed made no...

I am in the process of switching from 10w in transmission to Dex. Allison recommended I flush and fill, drive 500 miles and then drain and change filters. Another hundred miles and I'll be done. It is a rotational shudder almost like in wheels or drive train. The part I don't understand, it does...

You can't tell. You can feel it in the steering wheel, the truck shudders/vibrates... It does sound like it is a rolling noise. I have tried tapping brakes, down shifting, and neutral while traveling. Nothing helps, but coming to an almost complete stop, then it goes away and does not come back...

It seems to happen every time I drive now. Whatever the noise/shutter happens a couple of minutes after started and a couple miles down the road. I put the truck in neutral and almost stop. The shuddering stops and I continue on like nothing happened

1985 M923A1. Sorry, on cell, I thought I had it in signature.

This has now happened three times now. I fire up the truck, let it warm up. Drive about a mile down the road and I get a shuttering sound/ shaky feeling. The truck still goes but not full power. Almost like a shaft had came loose or an engine brake. When it happens, gas, brakes or neutral makes...

Thanks! Now. Do I get the 1/4 or 3/8? My front wheel does not look the same as the one in the manual. I have tried to post pic of wheels but am having no luck.

Do they need to be changed every time the tire is removed?
