    M35A3 Dead Electrical

    Truck has run fine. Went to run it today (has been raining hard for two days here in MN), and it started then just shut off. No power anywhere. Check battery terminals and all tight. Found the three curcuit bearkers but no reset on them. Have no electrical-lights, nothing. Any suggestions? Pete

    Picked up a GL won M923 for myself, a buddy picked his M923 and A3 win at Sparta this week. Drove the 5-tons and hauled the A3 back to St Paul with little issue.
