XM211 Recovery trip

[AMGeneral]

Went this weekend to pick up the M211 I purchased from Ferro some time back,I must say the trip went flawlessly,only 1 minor fuel leak on the M54( repaired easily).But I will let the pics speak for themselves.

The total trip miles add up to 290 with 52 gallons of fuel burned which equals 5.57 mpg.

If you had a Multi or a Cummins, you wouldn't be leaking down the passenger side! Silly Macks!

If I had a Multi or Cummins,I wouldn't have gotten home yet!!!

Great set of pics, Brandon! Another one saved!

Saved? what did you think I was going to do, cut her up? sheesss...

Trust me, I would have kept her if I could, she's in excellent shape and Brandon got a great truck. I'm glad she'll be well taken care of.

UPDATE!!!!!

Got the 211 running tonight,I have all foward and reverse gears in LOW range,but not HIGH,I gotta check the linkage tomorrow,hopefully that's all that's wrong with it.

Good Job. Logged many miles in a 211. The shifting problem will just be linkage.

Nice pictures! The more I look at these m211, the more I like them (don't tell my wife... ).

Great job Brandon. That makes two trucks I've sold you that you got started in short order. I could have gotten double if they ran. Now I'll never sell anything without trying to get it running first!!!!

Folks,I know this thread os old,I just had to post a few pics of the 211 after it's bath at work today,it made a 110% difference in it's looks.

[Ferroequinologist]

Wow! she does look way better! I wish I could rebuy her, but then you guys would never hear from me again...

Oooooh! Nice truck. My M211 had the same hole cut in the side of the bed as well. Ex- fire department truck too. Keep us updated, but don't wait so long next time.

Have you ever tried this? Get it rolling in low range and then shift to high with the truck in motion? My M135 does like yours sometimes and the unorthodox fix is what I described. It is a Godawful bang when the clutch pops loose.
