Figured out why truck wouldn't start on its own off the transport truck. Both back batteries had zero water in any cell. Went through an entire gallon of distilled water so assuming they are toast... stuck them on the Genus charger for laughs to see if it can work a miracle.

Pickup was at Ft. Carson, CO. Glen, the GovPlanet site rep is a great guy to deal with. Pickup days as of this writing are Mon-Wed at Carson. Dropoff was my house outside St Louis, MO. 800 miles. Picked up on Monday and delivered at noon on Tuesday. I went with Justin from Rounders Logistics (a...
