    No start A1

    You can use 2 batteries yes. He doesn't know jack nor does the computer about number of batteries. The TCM will do a voltage check and if too high or ohm's out of spec it will default to safe mode and not move. This could be a simple fix or ECM is very dead. Start simple. Does it crank? Do...

    M1095 M1082 trailer towing with a M809 series. How to integrate the brakes if M809 has the Air over Hydraulic still installed.

    Plug and play. The air functions the same on both types of brakes. Now how quick and hard they apply by differ but they do work without modification.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Another old gal' finished ready to rejoin the workforce. It's not too often one gets ahold of an extra long wheelbase truck so comparing it, M1085A1, M1086, and M1089A1 to everything it really makes you go "huh, I guess some of these other trucks really are short wheelbases".

    What is this truck worth?

    It's worth that ever you choose. Most GP auctions think $6K-$18K depending on the alignment of the planets. I don't agree.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR 2021 - VOTE HERE

    I'd like to think I've got the next generation of MV owners started. It doesn't do much for votes now though.. rofl

    Is it worth it?

    I say no. There's not much "peace of mind" when it comes to 20, 30, 60+ year old military equipment. The key word is equipment. They all require maintenance and anything mechanical can fail at any time regardless of what you do or who you buy it from. @wreckerman893 said something that stuck...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2021 - December VOTE HERE!

    tl:dr: see below Story: The MK4 has been on an adventure since her rebuild in 2012. Somehow she ended up in a penal colony in Indiana that was staffed by prisoners on good will doing forestry work. She was the typical: no start, no run, hydraulic parts missing, and no keys. Murphy being present...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The guy paid $16,500 for it. He drove it home 3 hours away being giddy as a grown man could be. I do happen to have an M814 in my motor pool. I just started on it today should have it done by next week and yes it will be for sale. I also have access to a super nice M923A2 with M105. I'd hop in...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    A perfect specimen from the Ft Riley rebuild facility. 2011 rebuild all the way through and never issued to a unit. She, along with a few of her sisters, were given to a city where even they didn't follow through with their plans to utilize the trucks. This one in particular needed a cab cover...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Unloaded and revived this M814. The M10A did her daily work and it all went smooth.

    Govplanet Emarketplace

    E-marketplace is just another wing of the RB family. Different agents, different rules, etc. That being said, if an item is challenged under their "Iron Clad Guarantee" and the price is reduced to compensate for the agreed defect and value then the item will show a "buy it now" next to the final...
