Last week I was traveling on the SW side of Indianapolis when I saw several parked MV's and one with a for sale sign in the window. I looked like a perfect opportunity to meet another MVer and maybe score a cargo cover bow for my recently recovered M925. I called the number on the sign and made...

Monkeyboyarmy you hit it out of the park on the air dryer valve. Valve closed = 120 psi. Probably time to change the desiccant filter. The 10W trans fluid level was in the low end operating range. On a flier I decided to change the trans filter and replace the 10W with Dex III. I must say that...

Ok with the Holidays behind me I think its time to get back into this one. Do I need to pull the series cabling from the batteries to charge each of the batteries or not ?

Looking for a safe procedure to jump start my "new" M813. When I recovered from GL the batteries were dead. GL gave me a jump with the slave cable. never could get the 6TLs to take a charge so I replaced the batteries. Started great with the new batteries. I let the truck sit for about a week...
