So I poked around in the truck today, tested the Alternator and at first was excited because it was putting out 27.5 V when I first started it up, but after about 3 minutes it dropped to 23.8 Volts and then drops even lower if I turn on the headlights and it doesn't bounce back. So now I have...

My last one took 13 days, that is after not submitting one in over two years and I moved to a new state, so my drivers license and address had changed. I think they just crank out excuses for whenever they need one.

There is a reason our defense budget is the largest in the world. On the other hand, in the last 9 years of looking at gov acquisition cost tags on various surplus items I can't really say that I have found much of anything that looked severely over priced.

The Hx channel gets a lot of thing wrong. The other day a show I was watching said that the top speed of a hmmwv was over 90 mph:mrgreen: That would be one scary ride.

I think a fair starting point on it would be 2 K. If I was still in KY I would have bought it in a heartbeat, but too far for me now.

That is a neat winch, what did the trucks former owner use this for? It is a mechanical mule, probably was built for moving logs in a sawmill. Personally I would not part with it, but I need therapy. On second look I noted the capstan winch attached to the end... this was probably on a ship...

Here is the rundown on my latest truck: Winning bid: 1350.00 Fees: 150.00 Title: 65.00 Gauges 125.00 Tow off of base: 150.00 Shipping 925.00 Batteries 220.00 I had planned to drive it home, but glad I changed my mind. 5 of the tires are bad, tailight broke, part of the wire harness missing...

I think the general fear of ether is unfounded now days. It is not the old fashioned ether our Granddads used.

Looks good: I like them with the original bed is cut down.

Took a few pictures today.

Ship it to me and I will do an unbiased field test on it for the benefit of the forum:razz: You can search gel point of diesel, you will find that the gel point for #2 (not winter blend) is around 17 deg F. At -30 is would be like pudding no matter how good the engine is. Unless that Deutz is...

I haven't checked voltage at the switch, the air system is empty, I open the valve on the tank when ever I park the truck.

If anybody wants to upgrade to ether injection: just found this. Amazon.com: Kat's 34100 24 Volt Push Button Ether Start Kit: Automotive

Yeah... in works perfect.

The light didn't fix the buzzer. I wonder if the air gauge has to be plugged back in, or if all the gauges need to be wired to complete the circuit?

I have sheet titled "LTI" It has the vehicle ID number on it and a W/O number. Dated 9 Dec 2009 Mechanic 31-SSgt Davis Reason: DRMO It is a little dirty, but I plan to keep it with the truck for whom ever inherits the truck later on. Would be nice to have if anybody ever does a resto on it...

No diesel will start at that temp without fuel additive because the fuel would be gelled.

It is funny that they came out of service 4 years seperate and landed in the same part of the country... They are destined for the family photo:beer:

So how long ago did yours come out of service?

Yup that is what I am missing, I see it in chapter 7.3 :)
