pick up at wright-patterson OH

[trooper632]

Hey all, EUC just cleared on my M817, Did anyone else get one of these from up there. If so did they start or what where any problems, I know each one will be different but i talked with the GL rep. from there "Dave", and he said he had no way of enev "jumping" the vehicle if the batteries were dead. I thought most of these places would at least give a jump start or a push so you could load them on a trailer. How is a driver supposed to load one up if he cant get any help with a jump start. Also is this a 2 or 4 battery truck. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anybody live in the area that could poosibly meet my driver there on pickup day, looks like tuesday the 26th, or maybe go by an see if the truck will start with a jump, I will pay something for your time if you can help, thanks.

Closest person to give it a jump might be JW4x4 but you would have to PM him. Not sure if he's checked out on the 809 series, I know I'm not!

I'm about 12 miles from the site.

I believe the 817 has the Cummins 250 in it and that it uses 4 batteries.

I'm not checked out on an 817 but I wasn't on the Deuce either when I drove it 350 miles on my first recovery.

I may be able to help out or I can get my Brother to help you.

Just let me know.

Forgot about you over there Steve. I shoulda hollered at you when I was up a couple of weeks back.
