    Hello all!

    Welcome from Kentucky. Congrats on you new truck, it looks good for the high desert. A tan cargo cover will make it look like a big rock. Did you figure out you turn signals yet? Configure the three lever light control switch correctly, they may work then. Have fun JC

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Good deal, now track your milage and engine time. Oil analysis in your next step. As long as you get good oil spec feedback readings, just change the filter and add a little oil. It will save you a lot on oil changes. Have fun JC

    M925 NHC 250 starter needed

    Is it the stater or just the solinoid attached to the starter? Ive have replaced several soliniods on the stater and it fixes the inop-ness. A good accessory shop can diagnose it.
