I owe a big thanks to my dad for helping me recover a M925A2 from Little Falls, MN this past week. The truck was sluggish at first but ran well once he put fresh fuel it. He also pulled out a trailer for another SS member and dropped it off in Wisconsin. He didn't have any issues with the truck at all. One tire was a little low when he picked it up but the CTIS pumped it up when he started it, no jump was needed.
We went over the truck a little more last night to see what shape it was in. It appears to have a few minor issues that can be fixed easily. The biggest issue we found was a crack in the weld of the hydraulic oil resevoir. It was weeping oil about 4" from the fill tube.
I didn't know it at the time of the auction but it looks like it was repaired by the Kansas Readiness Sustainment Maintenance Site and appears to have a Dresser engine installed. I guess the whole truck was "rebuilt" at that time. Does anyone know what the Kansas site did to these trucks? I don't know if the Dresser engine is just rebuilt or a new Cummins engine with a Dresser tag on it; my limited reseach wasn't conclusive.
I think this one is a keeper.
