If there was a location to store them- near the base at Barstow, I could probably spend a day moving everyones cab there, and then we could take our time looking into moving them east (or where ever). 100dollarman- do you know of a safe place we could put these cabs? I'm thinking your place is...

Wow- that bearing is bad news. Glad it didn't come apart on your trip home.

I sent you a PM.

I gave up screwing around with bad 6TL batteries. Big waste of time for me.

First and easiest would be to check the two inline fuses- under the dash near the steering column. But since it was working and now seems to be screwed up- it's probably your ECU. Also, you can burn up the ECU by doing an improper shutdown- so be sure you follow the TM EXACTLY for the...

Stripped (of seats, gauges, controls etc) or complete?

Was your truck running before you changed batteries? Or is this the first time you've started it?

Hey Seth! Sure- stop by- we have a new motor shop down the road from the store. Lots more stuff going on- be sure to stay in touch.

Glad to hear the truck ran good and you made it home. Can't predict those tire issues- I hope you checked the pressure on the fronts- they can look full and fool you. Normally they are the last thing to fail, but only if the pressure is kept up. Most of those trucks at Nellis are from Utah...

I've used Jatonkas covers and they are great. Here's an idea- I took some seats to a local shop that does canvas and had them do some custom work- widened and used better foam on the bottom and made the back a little taller. Then covered with good heavy duty canvas. Turned out super nice. Cost...

I'll be picking one up myself and bringing back to Ogden, UT. I could probably take a bigger gooseneck trailer and bring an extra one or two- so let me know if you need one going this direction.

My only train photo. About as close as I ever get to one:sad:

Hang in there my friend! There are also a lot of us here that are of a more tolerant mindset and would find your progress interesting- even if not our own idea of a project. I just picked up an 817 and find it very capable for the task it was designed for. And welcome to the site.

No matter what I've tried, including real expensive reconditioners- I can never get the batteries to come back- once they've lost their charge. But the recycle/scrap yard sure pays good money for the old ones! Much better than the core credit at Walmart...

Follow up 9/11/2012 You might find this interesting. I travel from north Utah to Nevada several times each year. The mangled remains of this A3 were parked in a wrecker yard, right off I-15. In plain sight. I stopped by several times to see how much it would take to buy the truck. You know...

Here's the oxygen tank that came on my 936. Marked US Govt. (Can I ever get it filled?) And a top view- looks like the missing tank is a larger diameter.

Back on the day- I would always add a blue light in the tail lamp. Might have to try that in an MV...:whistle:

Randy- sounds good, and not conforming is a good thing! :grin:

Have Truck/Will Travel If you would like to add your truck to our Parade Convoy on Nov 10, 2012, send me a PM. I have application and details. No cost. Pre Registration required. Here's the flyer. Honoring Vets that served 1975 to 2001. Trucks of that era especially invited. So far we have...

I read here on SS that there was a USMC version of the 915A1--- that had a 7 speed Allison. Nope. After searching around, I think it was an M916. Oh well...
