i am going to recover this with my heavy diesel mechanic we are planning on driving it home 170 miles. I drive a 33K roll off truck so i understand air brakes. I am a bit nervous about blowing the front tire on the way home. I am excited and terrified at the same time. i am going thru the TMS right now. I did not do an inspection but hope i didnt buy a POS. Lowboy shipping would cost 1200 so say your prayers for me . If you are between Fort Drum and rochester NY along 81 or 90 PM contact info i may need some expirienced advice from you.

It looks good. I have confidence in the good years on your fronts it's the old michelins in the back I would worry about more. I'm sure you will be fine bring tools, oil, trans fluid and a diesel jug with you. And some duct tape I fix everything with duct tape. It said started with a jump so I would bring a pair of 12v jump paks just in case.

That's one of the best looking 900's I've seen. Don't sweat the "start and run with a jump". Most of these trucks have sat for as long as a year. You will find 4 BIG batteries under the passenger seat. You only need 2 to jump it. If you are lucky GL will come over and jump it for you.

I looked at that truck when I was up there and bought a non-runner instead (which ran with a PCB). I took pretty good notes on issues and that truck I had no notes so no major issues that I saw. I "believe" that was the truck with two full fuel tanks. Ran nice and built good air. I think you will be fine with that truck. Tell Samantha I said Hi. She will be glad to jump the truck off for you.

I'll bite: What is this?

Nice loking truck. Hopefully the CTIS works and the tire will air up for you.

I think people unplug them just because the system is noisy sometimes

You don't need CTIS. I have mine capped right off and unplugged. Bring an air hose with a duals inflater and a glad hand to hook up to the truck. Use the air valve on the front left corner. Its a nice truck. What day are you going?
