Yea, not much to do with safety, but insurance and license plate.

Thanks Frau Hansen, as tempting as it is, I'd follow Mogman's and others advice to complete a full PM check before... Just because you don't know how the truck was treated in the last year. But I understand your meaning, that roadtrip would be fantastic. 950 miles, 3 days, nothing but fun and...

Shouldn't have to, right, but my guess is it will happen much more often than not that it's left back there. Plus there is no cover over the cab, so I hope I can convince the driver to secure the stuff somewhere. Let's see

Unfortunately, I think you are going to be right... As far as I know it's not picked up, yet, so I may have a chance to get them to secure all that. fingers crossed

Awesome, didn't know that. But, now I'll log in every 5 minutes. Thanks for nothing :mad: LOL Just kidding, thanks for the info.

Oh wow, I had no idea. Thanks!!!! IF the parts arrive with the truck I will have an extra tube and doghouse cover for trade/sale/pay it forward. Good to know. Thanks! Lee

One of the pics from GP shows some extra parts in the back of my M1123. I know the door and doghouse cover, but no idea what the third part in the picture could be. Something fording? Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Lee

Am I safe to assume they diso'ed it to keep it cooler in the desert? Just trying to make sense of it. Thanks again, Coug.

Awesome, thank you Coug. I knew it delays and disconnects the fan, but I must have misunderstood the theory of operation. Do you think there is or isn't much of a problem here? I found the troubleshooting section in the TM for it, so I'll work on that once it's here...

Hey, shout out to all experienced mechanics here... Question. My M1123 (still on it's way from the yard, not here yet) has the fan clutch control box (also known as the time delay solenoid) disconnected. I haven't had the chance to work on it you, but to save troubleshooting time, does anyone...

Gotcha, and yes. An unfortunate side effect of being an aviation mechanic is being addicted to tools and wrenching...

You are correct on that. I haven't heard from the shipping company, but I knew it will be a few days before they have a load together. Bugging the point of contact will not make anything go faster. So, patience is a virtue. And a bitch. Thanks for the input. Lee

Thanks. I'll contact them to see what options are out there... I would like to keep it somewhat original, but also functional. Prices are a bit crazy for these necessities, supply and demand I guess is the driving factor. Man, I love capitalism. Lee

100% agree with you there… amen brother.

That is what I call having won the lottery. The speeding thing is usually always and LOC/LOR once the word gets to the Commander. And as life goes, you get to make up by maintaining your vehicles. I', a little envious...

Yeah, the manufacture code on the tires read 4608, so they were made Oct/Nov 2008. Only 1 tire has weather cracking, the other 3 are good. According to the GP pictures anyway. I'll know more when the truck is here.

That is what I heard, and expect as well. The pics on GP don't show too much dry rot, but the manufacture date is from 2008. Bummer For the next year I will most likely keep the truck on my acreage and an occasional short road trip. When I am ready for excursions, I'll have to replace them. I...

MOTORPOOL, huh? What does that entail? New to the board, still learning everthing.

Sorry, it is a regular freight company with pretty good reputation. That's why I haven't mentioned the name yet to not tarnish that. If all works out, I'll report more. If there are issues, I'll report more. I just want to hesitate tp pay for services in advance as there is always a chance...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. So...You're saying there is a chance... I'm sure it will work out, just got the jitters. Lee
