it's Alive! Had to put a starter in it but then it cranked right over and fired up. Now we can finalize the listing. https://youtube.com/shorts/weUEj76Sce0?feature=shared

To update everyone the listing is still not up. Should go up next week but I will pass it on

Thanks for the tips

Volts stay up. Yes I do need to check all the connections and see what volts I have at the starter.

Tried 2 Group 31's, got 12 volt on dash gauge, buzzer sounded strong but only clicks on starter. Some pics I took

Thanks, Truck listing is due out next week. I will pass it along when it does

OK, the cabling has me a bid confused. Row nearest truck frame (Inner) has red cable covering the positives on 2 battery. In the middle another red cable linking 4 batteries positive (Outer battery) to negative(inner row battery) to positive(Outer battery) to negative(Inner row battery). Last...

Thanks for the replies. I had read that thread yesterday for info. Tires were replaced a few years back but I haven't looked at the date code. They also have a Military trailer, forgot the number but it's a Fontaine from 2006. Good shape but they have no title for it.

I thought about taking the batteries out of my Deuces and putting them in to get it started however my batteries are larger than what came out of the 915 so I doubt the cables will align. If I can't fit the 4 of them in there I doubt 2 of them will have enough cranking to get the job done.

Our Town has a M915A4 (since 2014 or so) from Gov't surplus. Used very little with 16,000 or so miles on it. Been sitting 2 years and they are getting ready to put it up for Public bid. I know little about semi's but am trying to help them get it running. Batteries were dead so tried to slave...

I never think much shifting....it just happens. If I think about it too much, then I don't do it right...

I need to look at it more to come up with something

At our Town's annual Memorial Day event I had kids climbing all over the trucks. They had a lot of fun and I was glad I disconnected the batteries before hand!

TX is a bit far. M35a2 listed on GP
