Information needed-m1028

[shadowrwolf]

information needed explanation after this.

currently oil light + stop light illuminated
need information to walk non engine/truck savy people through how to check and add oil so it can be moved


I am currently a long distance from the truck and there is a massive fire moving on the property the evacuation order has been given
i am knee deep in the TM but this is one more tool available.
i have not had a chance to get my hands on a FMTV yet as i have been stuck in a different state after it was delivered to the house for training.
so hard for me to walk them through things with these TMs over the phone.

Update
Finally got someone at the house to get in the truck and start it up.
no oil light no stop light oil pressure at 80

dispatch is saying a fire crew will be setting up camp just up the road from the house and family is staying tonight fire activity has slowed for the evening.
they have not cut power yet.
the house is still under a evacuation lvl 3 (get out now is lvl3)

Oil pressure at 80 it should be fine to drive. They are quirky vehicles though. Oil dipstick on drivers side of engine you have to raise the cab. Oil fill is by the coolant overflow behind the cab.

rgr thanks

fire turned back in to the National forest for the moment property is still a class 3 evac but everyone is holding tight and the property has quite a bit of goof defensible fire space at the moment.
a few hundred feet of fire hose is helping keep it wet atleast till they lose power

I recommend your next purchase be a water tanker.
