This is a great thread. I just got a 803a from Govplanet so I am in the learning phase as well.

Another bump to the top for you, hope you get back on the road soon.

I am always saddened to see the passing of a fellow Vietnam vet, especially prematurely due to a tragedy. May God welcome him and be with his family until we all meet again.

Shannon, just noticed you are in High Springs, I winter in Lake City. Lots of breakfasts at Bevs, LOL. I loved my A3 and wish I still had it. Yours is looking great.

Def. looks like it could have been worse, but not much! Best of luck in your CPR work to revive her.

Welcome aboard. I too have made a few mistakes with one of these gensets but they are tough machines. They almost heal themselves sometimes. Have you tried reflashing the field by turning the switch back to the start position while it is running? There is a protection relay system that should...

That is awesome! From a safety standpoint alone it is great to not have the hood wanting to blow over on you before you climb up there and secure it.

Exact same thing on my recovery trip. The foam residue got in my eyes and made it impossible to see. I stopped at a rest area and cut out everything except the outer layer.

Looks like a great truck! I was in Killeen last year at the 1st Cav Div Assoc Reunion and last week they held it here in WV. Lots of Killeen folks there. I wanted to take my truck but nowhere to park it. Keep the photos coming and be safe out there!

My '71 has it, it is handy.

Nice looker! Enjoy.

"Ran when parked." rofl

I had the exact same thing. Turned out to be the fuel shut off lever was disconnected. Follow the shutoff cable and remove the cap it goes into, make sure the lever is not swinging free. For me it was a cheap fix (free!). Hope you get her running soon.

I may be too far from you, 3 1/2 hours, but you are welcome to swing by and take my truck for a spin. I just finished a bunch of maintenance items, belts, hoses, filters, adjust valves and so on and the good news is you probably have most of the tools you will need.

Finally did some long overdue PM. Adjust valves, replace all hoses, new coolant, belts, filters. Bet I could have done it faster if I weren't 70. Anyway it is all done finally.

I try to stay with the historical aspect of the truck so I am probably going to stay with the No Darn Traction tires she came with.

I think Erik has it for $42. I will send you a pm link. ETA PM sent, I gave the wrong price, it is in the $20s. More better!

I had it happen. Push on brakes and pedal went about half way down and would travel no farther. Absolutely no brakes at all. I was able to stop with the parking brake. I replaced the airpac and truck was good to go.

Is the ground good?
