Never said it did cover AGM's and the OP never said he was using AGM's and by far there is more standard wet lead acid batteries in use in our trucks than there is AGM's and so it is very good info to know besides all the other good info in the pdf posted as it doesn't just talk about lead/acid...

Here is some good info straight from the Army on batteries

I would suggest undoing the battery cables and do a load test on each battery individually as I will suspect that you have 1 or more faulty batteries that are incapable of supporting the amp draw needed for starting and is only supplying what is referred to as surface voltage.

Congrats on a smooth recovery and trip back to Utah!

That is part of the CTIS. Edit - Page 003-48 of the -10 TM it is called the Pneumatic Controller

Picked mine up from the Safety Inspection which passed with flying colors and the inspectors were all kinds of intrigued and impressed lol Monday after work I will drop off the remaining paperwork with the DMV (the safety inspection & Vin/Serial # verification) and pick up my US.Army Veterans...

Hello and Welcome

Dropped mine off to be Safety Inspected after getting the couple of dash lights (spring brake & low pressure) working and a couple of other bulbs replaced (front pass side turn signal) and headlight on drivers side (high beam was dead). Hopefully the inspector will get to it tomorrow and I'll...

Congrats!

Hello and welcome from Utah!

Don't let the CTIS stop you from purchasing an A2 as when they work they are great. When they fail at an expensive part just bypass it and still enjoy having turbo charged motor :-)

Turbo's are very reliable. I will say if you live in a mountainous area you will want a turbo'd 5ton over a naturally aspirated engine. Maintenance costs will be about the same between the two motors.

Hello and Welcome from Utah. Congrats on getting the Deuce home! btw my wife and I have a couple of friends that live in Kelowna.

Hello and welcome from Utah

If you don't stop at the weight stations they just might come chasing you with the red and blues on in CA. In Utah it is currently not required for private vehicles and if unladen they usually just wave you on and not even have you roll across the scales...but CA I have seen it go both ways...

I had my truck hauled home from Fontana 3 weeks ago as it was easier in the long run for me even though the hauling fees cost more than what I could have driven it for.

Don't plan on tools being present in the trucks but at times some are found. Before heading out on the road make sure you have a 10 ton or better choice is a 20 ton bottle jack and 1.5" lugnut socket and breaker bar so you can change a tire if need be.

Glad to hear your safe and prepared for the interruption of your normal travel path!
