Won M925 need Mentor, Fortworth to Sherman Tx 95 miles (Truck Runs?)

[Autocharge]

I just won the truck and I’m looking for a mentor and/or Ride along. I know nothing. I learn fast but 10 days to retrieve truck is a steep learning curve.
I have plenty of questions. I could even pick someone up to check out truck one week and maybe even the next week to retrieve the truck.

Thanks in advance for all help.

Hit the TM section and download all of the TM's for the 939 series trucks and start reading the -10 TM first as it will help you out big time!

Here's the -10 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...0-July-31-2012-Revised-M939-Operator-s-manual

Make sure you commit to memory the proper proceedure (order) for the start up and shutdown of your new toy as it will save you lots of money in the long run...as not doing it correctly will kill expensive parts in short order.

Is this the same TM for the M923A2? I just won one and now have to dive in fast as well.

 

[MtnSnow]

Yes it's the same manual. The 923A2 is a 939 series truck Ohh and congrats on joining the big green iron club

Kudos for not just jumping in and racing away, and asking for a companion.

For starting always remember up-up, down-down. Thats how I was trained. When you turning them on (up) the up switch goes first, when you are turning them off (down) the down switch goes first.
