First off I must say thanks to Corey (StreetBikeDepot) for all the work he put into this. He picked up my towbars from GL in OKC and strored them, He mad it possible to attatch the bars to my Jeep and inspected the truck before I came down and was there to help me get it started and roadworthy. I need to thank Joe (warthog) and Jeff (hoopsoft) for showing up also to see if we needed any extra help. Thanks guys.
The truck ran great the whole way home. The only problems I had were the temp guage wasnt working, the tires never did run smooth, (bad shake at 50mph) and the fuel gauge would from where the fuel level was to pegged out when the truck would shake (bad connection or intermitant short?) but still allowed me to track how much fuel was in the tank. It was leaking fuel when MSgt Lee (GL Rep) tried to prime it when we started it, but never leaked any after we got it started. One battery cable was loose, and two of the batteries had March 07 written on them in paint marker. The volt gauge would not move into the green, always stayed right between yellow and green on the way home so I never shut the truck off. I had 2 new group 31's with me but I didnt want to mess with trying to jump it by myself on the road. Ill check them out today in my driveway.
Now I have to start saving for the big 16.00x20 tires to go on the new HEMTT wheels I picked up with the truck.
Again thanks to everyone that got involved in this little adventure
