I've made it almost to OK on I35. Stopped for fuel. Next stop Lindsey97's. Flint hills slowed me to 35 in a couple of places. I'm getting about 5mpg.

How does one differentiate energetic from cheap/broke? :)

I'm back on the road. No spare, but I've got one lined up just south of OKC (tha ks Lindsey97 !) If i can get that far before Murphy sees me.

This. Replace all your rubber fuel lines and that should resolve it. Check your filter gaskets too, but I presume you did this already...

It wasn't intentional apparently. We have a combination of incompetence on the part of the city, and (most likely) ignorance on the part of people and their kids. A new hood and appropriate compensation and it should be ok. By refusing to get furious you have the opportunity to make a good...

So, the rear flat delayed me by about a day. I got up the following morning and disabled the CTIS and inflated everything to 55psi. I got going again the next day and made it about 200 miles before the front passenger tire blew at highway speeds. I immediately took the exit that was right...

14s, yes.

Driver's rear tire on my M923A2 blew the sidewall today. Yes, it was a directional michelin. Changing it was a long hot job. I'm wiped out.

33s are as far as I'd go with stock m1009 axles. More than that and you're courting a broken axle. Jmho

Take it apart, clean it and reassemble... trivial and free.

PPV, pressure protection valve. Over pressuring , with horn, wipers, and other "nonessential" equipment not fed is the PPV for sure, especially if intermittent.

I've got a week's worth of work to do in MO, then I'll be headed back to Tucson with both trucks loaded to the gills.

I just couldn't resist. I unhooked the towbars and took the M925A1 for a drive. Filled it up and added some injector cleaner. It started off kind of puny, but after 20 min or so it was running and shifting like I anticipate the NH250 to do. The driver's side front wheel has a ctis weight on...

Battery holddowns, and battery clamps. I removed the dead beyond hope of resurrection batteries from the M925A1 and moved the good batteries from the M923A2 to the M925A1, and started it. Full details are in the MV road trips forum :)

My "dead", "won't crank", "doesn't run", truck was started with nothing more than an adjustable wrench and less than an hour working on it in a truckstop parking lot.

Not necessarily. Let's examine that idea. Preview means higher prices. Higher prices are good. Preview means more staff needed. More staff needed is bad. Adds overhead. Does the increased prices from the preview offset the increased overhead from the preview? Evidence suggests not...

And it's been sitting with no cab top for probably years.... I'll be redoing the interior in its entirety.

! ! ! ! !IT LIVES ! ! ! ! Batteries are flat dead and wiring for the slave receptacle had an undetected break rigjt at the lug. Probably why I got it so cheap.... "doesn't crank" was the notes the GP guys had on it.. I took the batteries out of my M923A2 and put them in the M925A1... cranked...
