One last picture. Spent the last couple of hours with degreaser and a hose going all through the cab and outside the truck. Tomorrow or Monday I will do the engine bay. Also put all my "BII" in the box behind the cab.
When it started as soon I was able to stop I got out the WD-40 and sprayed the entire linkage, return spring, emergency stop cable, if it was connected or looked like it was connected to the ip I sprayed.
I'll pull the spring off and head to napa and see if they have a replacement.
Ok guys, got a little issue.
It started yesterday during the trip but I figured it was just because air was in the lines. There is a little pin hole somewhere on the right tank lines.
Here is the problem.
Start it up, idle goes up to almost 2000. Once you drive it runs good, but once you...

Picked the truck up from Donny around 1430 ish. Went over and made sure all tires were at pressure and Donny was nice enough to grease all u-joints for me.

I hear the relays clicking and clacking.
Only other possibility would moisture in the switches from...
Yeah I put both batteries in the right box and I'm going to ratchet strap them down once the other one gets done charging.
I took the regular battery connectors and just used the screw posts.
Well picked up the truck from Donny.
Stopped at a car wash down the road and washed it off.
So far only one little issue but it couldn't have happened at a better time. Battery shorted on the 12v side right before I got on fort Sam Houston.
Rearranged the batteries so the can't move, load...
I might be not be much help on that.
Spent two years on a line team working on m1's and loved it. It defiantly was a change of my normal air conditioned electronics and small arms shop.
I would make the trip from Zachary (Baton Rouge), Louisiana.
Look you just give me the key to the m1 display and I'll bring my tools. As long as the pack is still in it I'll get her running and do hay rides. I miss working on and driving the Abrams
I used to open my 934 by myself all the time, closed it by myself too.
Once you do it a couple time you can get it to an art of doing it alone.
Just make sure the cables are good, won't be doing it by yourself if the cables break.
