Super important with these infrequently used flood trucks is to put battery maintainers on them! I do fleet maintenance on 5 LMTVs and these maintainers keep everything up and running. The FDs should be familiar with disconnecting the Kussmaul before driving off.
Looks like C7. You need to decide if the disassembly was due to one of two reasons: either uncle needed a part for a different truck OR the mechanics looked inside and said OMG it’s trashed, off to DRMO with you.
Can you verify what year you have? 1996 trucks do not have LBCDs. If it’s a later model (A1) truck that does indeed have LBCD and solenoids at the battery box, the recommendation it to remove the solenoids and jump past them. This typically fixes this issue.
Every time I have been in the slop it’s the exact opposite of rock climbing: maximum possible wheel speed to sling the mud from the tread and keep momentum up.
It’s only dependable after massive amounts of predictive maintenance and upgrades. If you don’t need the all terrain capabilities, these are a horrible choice for a work truck.
