    Goat batteries

    Optimas are a great battery but do not let them die and sit uncharged for a long period of time. Normal lead-acid batteries can be revived but I have had no luck trying to bring an Optima back to life.

    Truck starts but wont shut off

    Follow the cable attached to the "emergency stop" handle you are pulling. It goes to a valve on the fuel line above the IP. Directly above that valve is a solenoid that has a small knob on top. That is the normal shut down, when you flip the switch on the dash, it "de-energizes " that...

    springer seat base/fuel selector

    When I got my M816 the drivers side springer seat was not bolted down, just sorta tossed in the cab. I went to line up the holes and the fuel selector switch on the floor seems to get in the way of the plate on the base of the seat. Is it supposed to be notched or how does it fit around the...

    No Previous Paperwork + Michigan Motor Vehicle = Title

    Yea, I was one of the (un)lucky few that won a deuce from GL when they had just gotten the contract for surplus back in 2001. I actually got an AZ title for that truck but they stopped that real quick when business took off.
