If you purchased a "runner" then they will start the truck and drive it around to the exit for you. If it is below freezing when you pick it up make sure to check the air system out before your trip. My air dryer isn't working the best and I have a problem with moisture in the lines. There is...

The only issues I had were a coolant leak from the heater core and an oil leak from overfilling the power steering reservoir. I've temporarily repaired the coolant leak by shutting off the valves that go to the heater core and the power steering thing should work itself out. Time to go read...

Thank you all for the help. Couldn't have made this happen without the help, especially Bob!

Made it home with no big issues. I'll post more pics later this evening.

Bob actually called me back last night and said he would be happy to help. Super nice guy! I've got all my gear together and with Bob on board I think I'm in great shape for the recovery. Thank you all for your help. I'm excited to move into the 5-ton world!

What is his SS name? Should I call him now or just if I get in a pickle (just tried calling, he didn't answer but I can try again)?

All I did was get insurance like I normally do for any vehicle. My insurer (State Farm) only asks for make, model, year, and mileage. Although my local agent had to call i for help figuring out how to insure a 5 ton. The insurance was done through their commercial department, so I think...

Aren't you supposed to have them memorized before you touch a MV? Anyway, I have insurance now. Costing me $285 for six months for full coverage (through State Farm). Is it sad that this is the only vehicle I have full coverage on? Everything else is just liability insurance... I know you...

The TM calls it a half-coupling :) Semantics... I've driven a tractor-trailer before, but it has been over 10 years, and it wasn't over-the-road. I worked at Caterpillar and used a yard truck to back trailers into loading areas (flatbeds, vans, containers). Loved it, but I make more $$$...

Good luck on your load-out. I'm hoping for good luck myself!

I've read the startup procedure but I'll have those parts of the operators TM printed out and with me. I'm hoping they'll start the truck and move it out by the gate for me (that's how they loaded out DJones), so I'll have an already-started truck delivered. Then I can check many things while...

I have mostly answered my own question about the AWD question. Page 84 of the operators manual (PDF form) has a good pic of the different cylinders / solenoids on the transfer case.

Does anyone know where exactly in the TM's I can see a picture of each of the air lines / solenoids on the transfer case so I can make sure my truck isn't stuck in AWD when I pick it up? Or, is that not really an issue for a 16 mile (below 40mph) drive home? I've been reading several threads...

DJones - Great talking to you on the phone and you're instruction on how to reset the emergency fuel shutoff is invaluable! M925 - What is the glad hand? Is that just to hook air up to the brakes for towing? I'm a total newb to big trucks with air. Indiana doesn't require a CDL for under 26K...

I'm scheduled to pick up my M932a2 from the Tibbs Ave. facility in Indianapolis this coming Wednesday afternoon. When I previewed the trucks (I looked at 30+ trucks) I started several of them, but the truck I won wasn't one that I personally have started. It's listed as a running truck, and it...
