First off Congratulations! As blzrgb pointed out you may need to rev the engine off idle to get the generators to start generating. Neither of my generator lights go off if I start without any throttle and let it idle. I need to goose it a bit to get the generators charging then I can let...

So did you take that picture as you were passing by or before you got in?

nevermind

Thanks. I will learn to use the site you linked.

Great looking truck and trailer! Thanks for sharing!

I too saw that truck. Very nice. Had large singles on it. So large in fact that there was only a couple of inches clearance between the rear tires. I told the wife if she and the kids would give up eating for a year I could have tires like that! :roll: She said if I kept it up she wouldn't...

How do you find all that detail?

Sometime back I returned home in the deuce when this neighbor came running over and asked if I thought it could pull his truck out. Seems he had tried to cross a drainage ditch in his field that was deeper than he thought. He had spent hours trying to pull it out with a 4wd pickup to no avail...

I do not know exactly what it take to get the injector out without consulting the manual but it does need to come out if it is hydrostatic lock although by now there could be seized bearing and pistons.

I did not mean to be discouraging. :oops: I do hope you get it running without more effort than some diesel 911 and a battery charge. :-D I would like to think that the grant vehicles are generally in better shape than those destined for auction from day 1.

Congratulations! Scoring an antenna is sweet as well as the shock mount and speaker.

My truck was marked "Mississippi County Sheriff's Dept. 3/4" on the hood. I am thinking it was slated for the Mississippi County Sheriff's department when the deal fell through for whatever reason and it was put up for auction. I am thinking that "-NR-" on your hood meant not running. By the...

Welcome! By the way nopics :-D:-D:-D

Nice truck! Congratulations on the safe recovery.

Congratulations on a safe recovery and on scoring a runner.
