GP flushes out auctions that don't fetch what they consider a minimal amount. They also flush the database after a certain time (I used to have "watched items" from years back but now it cuts off at 2019..

OK, so while awaiting local PD to do the vin check on the other truck I took the time and popped open the driverside kick panel. I re-seated any connections I found and...the issue seems resolve. Yeah! Thanks all.

I grew up around boats and every darned thing has to have it's own ground (same with fiberglass Corvettes).

Rgr that. I was just in panic mode. Drove home once I was confident it was all just false positives. No issue other than the short. I don't have much choice in the morning (only opportunity to get the vin checked before the new year and that truck needs to be off to it's new home...

Seeing no oil on the ground, my first fear was oil pump failure, but she's running smooth. I think it's just a short...

2008 A1R Dash is going tits up. Speedo, 12v gauge, oil psi all blink out to zero (Low Oil dummy comes on). Fuel, 24v and air readings normal. Then I hit a little bump and Check Trans light comes on, then goes off, then all gauges come back to life. No funny noises, smoke, smells, etc...

The one that went for $9K was the one that hit the overpass while on a trailer. The habitat was totaled. And given the forces it saw, I'd worry a bit about the chassis. So it was a worst a parts truck, at best a long chassis.

Yeah, I think you're correct. I noticed two box channels. Same as the M1079 ladder stowage but shorter and further apart. I'm kinda fuzzy on how you would get under it to push the deck up (I guess you'd have to get under it by the doors and push). But yeah...

I'll throw my rig into the mix...

I'd not be shocked if the M934 bolted right up to the M1087. I know people have interchanged the shelters between the M934 and the MTV long chassis. Thus my thinking here is those two use the same (captured spring) setup.

I learned something new today. Looking at those pics, I realized that the rear "deck" is not the "swing down into position" setup I thought it was. I knew the support arms swing out, but I see now that the deck is stowed on the back (not cranked up into place via cable...

The 5-ton long chassis are not really all that uncommon. Tons of the M1085 with the cranes on the back are far more common (and a LOT less work to convert). Plus the value of a wrecker is far higher than that of a regular 5-ton long chassis. And *if* you need to add length to a...

Good question. The easier answer would be "Anyone have an M934?" (because there are a crap-ton more of those in the wild than the M1087s). edit: you might tray and ask @StratoCrewzr here (he has an M1087)

^This Note that there are actually *three* frame members. The truck has two then the box has it's own subframe. It's that upper truck frame member and the box subframe that allow for the (captured spring) give.

The 260a is awesome but keep in mind that the 12v side is 140a. It's always a battery on the 12v side (either with quads or duals) that's getting sucked on by the "vampiric drain". If you have a master disconnect, that will solve the issue. The only other surefire fix is a 12v...

Good job with the video there. fyi: the A0 trucks all have the two cables on the 24v post. Later A1 and A1R trucks *sometimes* have only one. I only mention it because anytime I post that schematic someone will say "there's only one cable on the 24v post". ;)

Now, ideally you would add a small 12v charger and a battery equalizer. :)

I just lets you assign freqs to channels to the pre-programmed selection on the radio (in stead of having to surf up/down the freq ranges). So say you want weather on ch01, chatty crap on ch02, a fire watch tower repeater on ch03, rescue rangers on ch04, etc. The reason you want...

CHIRP is super easy to use and it works with that unit. btw https://www.twowayradiocommunity.com/index.php/retevis-chirp-programming-software/

Check the model number, but I'm 99.99% sure that you should be able to program it with CHIRP. You just need the programing cable and a laptop/PC if so. If I'm going somewhere I like to find the local park ranger tac and program it in as well as any local repeaters and weather...
