    East coast to West coast trip - Free part taxi - standby assistance requested

    Only been taking it out a couple days a year.... That will change this year. I'm focusing more time and money on it to convert to an RV. I have a rough plan, that I'm sure will change. So far, only minor issues related to rubber and age..... I neglected the batts so that's my fault... ether...

    Rough numbers so far.... Pretty telling... Avg a little over 5 MPG for the M934.. I'm betting having a flatbed instead of the cross dimension of a 2 story brick would help fuel consumption.

    Bring 'Soldier B'... heh. a cushion or 5 for the seat needs to go on the list.. I would also get a cheap 5 gallon air tank, and fill it before your trip. If your truck is not running, you have no air. If you have a leak, you have no air, etc. Shoot me your number via PM and I'll give you a...

    Definitely... And thanks again for the help.. It was a learning experience for sure, and as such, plans come out of it to make sure future occurrences are eliminated or reduced. Not much went wrong, but spare parts should be carried.. I brought belts, and nothing air related... That...

    My concern is the lines blowing out... Rather.. One line blowing out twice... If one will, others will. The lines were sitting for at least 7 years and plastic gets brittle over time...

    I'm not much for rules and regulations. Safety is more important to me than the 'right' way. If it's safe, do it. No warrant, no inspection. Wanna crawl under the truck? Don't complain if you get run over.. All I know is I had 3 air related failures... And I want eliminate future...

    Also.. The warning buzzer can't be heard with good ear protection on. It will be replaced with a 120db warble alert.... With a cutout switch so I don't have to hear it once the problem has been identified.

    I gotta change all the fluids (again) I'm going to replace both fuel and oil filters with spin on I'm gonna replace the air lines with synthetic rubber and standardize the dimensions. Each line will be on a barbed connector with hose clamp so replacement will be easy if necessary. I'm going to...

    Middle of SD now... 50ish... Around 2000rpm... Actually getting closer to 6 mpg than 5... Thanks to flat land.. Some hills in PA and WV I was going 25 mph up.... And couldn't go faster... I predict some more of the same in MT... Biggest issue is the seat. Spring sucks. Shock is...

    Inner tube has a small hole in it at the seam. I'll blame MN roads for that... They put my spare on then patched the hole and aired it back up... But the tire I was driving on was in poor condition from being.. Well.. Driven on when flat... they suggested only using it as a very short term...
