Got the truck today. Tried jumping off of mkcoen's blazer, but it tried to act like an arc welder... so the yard guy gave us a push with his forklift and she started right up. Tactical pushstart! When I got home, I let the truck sit for 5 minutes and tried starting her again and she started...

I'll try. Doesn't look like I'll be able to get the correct air filter by then, tho. Is it something you can just take out and clean out with an air hose, if the engine isn't getting enough air?

I tried calling the site manager this afternoon but just missed him. Assuming I can figure out what all supplies I need to bring and where to get them, I'm going to shoot for monday, tuesday, or wednesday of next week. Whatever day works best for you. ... back to the search engine...

Cool, I'll add it to the list. Thanks. Yeah, it had a brake pedal when I glanced at it a month ago.

The thing with the silver looking wire going through it? Looks kind of like a grease fitting, to me. Really, that just looks like a jumble of parts, to me. Ach, stress. :-x

thanks mkcoen. So I guess I'll plan on bringing a couple of 12V car batteries and just swapping them out. Interesting that there's no slave outlet. I thought that was pretty much standard? So here's what I was planning on bringing: Two Batteries, 12V. Ten gallons of diesel. Four quarts...

bump... anyone else care to throw their hat in the ring?

If my truck runs, I'll bet we could load em up and take em either to mkcoen's place or mine. Beer money is cool. Actual beer would be better, tho. South Texas doesn't have much selection. mkcoen: Which paperwork?

Beeville. About 110 miles to Ft. Sam. Thanks, man. I really appreciate it.

event 4107, lot 7100. Olive drab, with winch. No cab top. There was another truck in the same event that looked like it had a busted axle or suspension linkage or something.

Hey guys, I just got my EUC back approved for my deuce. But reading the "great list" thread on the old board has my head swimming. Would one of ya'll be willing to meet me in San Antonio and head over to Fort Sam to check out my truck and help me do the initial "get her running safely"...
