i inspected it why it was up on the air and then then crawled under it i didnt see anything wrong with it ..drive shaft it strait no cracks in tcase or trans ...i don't think it was moved by a fork left because the was only one spot thats dented the rocker (its no the bad) the rocker is pushed in from the side and there is a long scrape make coming from it like it slid into something or something hit it while in motion ...if you look close enough in the pick u will see the scrap mark..i will tri to take better pic

Glad you've already looked into potential damage/abuse. Too many have "assumed", only to later be hit in the face by REALITY.

Good luck with your new toy

[steelandcanvas]

Nice truck. Your friends at school should be jelous. And if they're not, buy a deuce.

And if that don't work, buy a 5 Ton! Congrats on your new truck, and these fellers are right, there is no cure.

Nice truck ....Came from the same base as mine

Looks like mine also. Is yours painted with a brush? Mine looks like parts of it were painted with a live cat on a stick.

Make sure you check out the GEN2 light. It isn't on in the pictures and without the light working the rear battery will not charge.

Great looking truck.

"Hello, My name is Mike". Hello Mike. "I am a....... MV collector. Its started years ago when I watched my father work on his MV. Then in school I tried my first MV. From there my addiction just, just consumed me" The crowd around Mike just looked down and shook there heads. They had heard this story before. Yah the names and faces change but the story is always the same. They new this addiction wouldnt end. It hadnt for them and for that they were happy.

In the building next to the MV addiction facility whos parking lot was full of assorted Olive Drab Steel Soldiers was a parking lot full of geo metros and other assorted brightly colored 2 wheel drive small vehicles. This building held the real victoms of this addiction. The wives and loved ones of those afflicted. "Hello, My name is Christy" Hello Christy. "My husband just brought home a Ugly green truck" Gasps could be heard through out the gathered group of women. They too had heard this story. For it was there own. They slowly passed Christy the bottle of Bourbon. They new this was the only way to help there sister in need.

While alcoholism and drug addiction are really no laughing matter...

We with the MV addiction can surely relate to the little ditty above.

Thanks for the comic-relief and your comedic creativity. Have you ever done Stand-Up

 

[WARWAG]

Have I ever done stand up? No but I did get married standing up. That marriage was a joke.

On a more serious note. Welcome to the forum! You are now part of the Brotherhood!

Thanks all

i am trying to get the truck started it turns but wont fire. i hear the click when i turn the key on (i believe that deals with the glow plugs) and how are the batteries supposed to be hooked up it has a negative on the back battery to the positive on the front battery. what else do i have to check ?( before i even thought of starting it i checked all the fluids ) i cycled the glow plugs 2 times before trying to start it . am i doing anything wrong ...what am i missing ? all i want to do is ride around in my OD steel i guess i can say

sorry if i am rambling on ..it makes scene in my head


Oh by the way my names mike

Batteries are hooked up in SERIES, thus two 12volt batteries make 24volt System.

Should be :

Frame/engine ground to First Battery's Negative Terminal, then jumper from that battery's Positive Terminal to the Negative Terminal on the Second Battery, then from the Postive Terminal of the Second Battery to the Vehicle Electrical System.

(First and Second Battery references are in the circuit sequence, not necessarily Batt #1 and Batt #2)
