First post, first attachment of pics, so please have a little patience...
Purchased an M925 from GL based on pictures and video.
The details stated that the truck would not start, the ignition was broken. The video showed the truck with the engine running. How hard do the GL lot guys try to get a truck running with a 'broken ignition'?
All tactical MVs have a switch for ignition in my experience. A switch is an open or closed loop of 'juice', not too hard to fix in my opinion.![2 Cents 2cents 2cents](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_2cents.gif)
My brother and I decide to jump in feet first and we 'win' two M939 trucks, both with 'does not start' in the GL details section. We schedule an appointent to 'preview' the trucks after the auction to see if we need to arrange shipping or if we can drive them home while we wait for first time EUCs. His EUC clears a day before we arrive at Barstow. Long story short, both start and run and he drives his home. Mine required minor surgery of the battery and start/run/stop switches. But with no EUC mine has to stay in Barstow.![Sad :-( :-(](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Now the EUC wait........finally get it, and with prior commitments and such I have to wait ANOTHER week to get my truck. Couldn't sleep. Couldn't hardly work, Couldn't wait!!
Finally on August 14, 2012 we load up and head out!!![Exclamation :!: :!:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)

Close to Overton, Nevada. We pass an M915 headed north on I-15. Can't get the camera out fast enough at 75 mph. Truck looked good.![Thumbs Up [thumbzup] [thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif)
