We're glad you found it too. Welcome from Kentucky. Any Mil equipment yet?

Wreckers are handier than a two-peckered billy goat. Need something lifted, fire up the 936. Mine has "Farm plates" on it. Logs, equipment, storage containers, you name it.

Welcome from Kentucky Josh. Congrats on your new purchase. Be safe.

Smoke from the starter leads to a fried solinoid. That may be the thunk you're hearing. Time to pull the starter and bench check it.

I have a installed a little self adhesive foam/weather seal here and there to quiet some of the more obnoxious rattles. Check your inner fender access panel, I had one not not secured and in sounded like the engine was coming apart. Place your hand on the panel and quiet. Removed it, gave it a...

Yep, nature of the beast. Sound just like my truck. Once started, use the hand throttle to raise the rpm just a skosh. My settles out around 725-750 rpm. These trucks do not like to sit around idling. Start, warm up, and drive.

Good info Jbulach, I'll check mine for sure.

Oh man, better pull the maintenance logs and see who worked on that wheel. Looks like your intake mushroom may have departed during the excitement.

How about that? He must have graduated in 1969 too.....

Amen, it would take a disaster for me to use all my "stuff", I'll settle for keeping it in storage. Kind of like "in my hip pocket".

My M925 is a'09 RRAD rebuild, I think I'll check my bolts too.

That's not right... appears the wrong lenght adapter bolts were used when assembled.

Ok, just came in from the yard; M809 hood length- 63.5". M35A2 - 50.0", M35A3-52.5". These measurements were taken from the back/side edge to the front edge where it meets the grill. Measurements were eyeballed with a non-calibrated tape rule. O.A.T. - 63 degree F. Relative humidity-75% wind-...

Welcome from Kentucky. Congrats on your new truck. Looks to be well taken care and it has a nice new home.

Something was loose. I've had that happen. The cable bolts need to be tight. They get over looked sometimes. Securing the batteries is a must, lots of bumps and vibration adds to the issue.

Yep, I love those Fire Dept paint jobs. I'd keep it as is. Heck, you have recoveries down now. Go find a green one, can't just have one truck.

Yep, I live by that adage. Do a little research on your vehicle. You may what to ensure the FDC is operational. My trucks are all stock and nothing is bypassed, turned up, or modified. Keep them stock, they'll last forever.
