Out of Fuel

[M925]

Well my title from GL came in the mail on Saturday. And I rushed over to the dmv to get the M925 re-titled and tags.

It all went smooth, except when they told me how much tags would cost for the year!!! $529....I nearly crapped my draws.

Has anyone re-registered their truck for a lower GVWR?

Then I was going to put fuel in the truck and ran out of fuel. I thought something was going wrong with the transmission but I will never trust my fuel gauge again.

While sitting in the median of the four lane....I met a really nice Marine Iraq vet. And one on duty state trooper came to see the problem....and another one came in his civilian car....and helped....he even wanted to buy my truck.

We primed it and she came back to life.

I think it was fate that I ran out of gas in order to meet the people I met.

I agree, the biggest difference in our hobby and others is Patriotism.

I even called my insurance company for roadside assistance. That was a strange conversation. LOL.....not many tow trucks could tow a 5 ton. But their help was not needed. Yeah, that Marine vet that stopped to help sure was a good Samaritan.

I feel your pain! In NC mine will cost me almost $400/year just for the 23k pound plates that im putting on my 931a1. Which means if I fill up both tanks that will pretty much max me out on my weight. This state unlike most others charges you by weight when buying plates, really missing TN now...

Three things in this world I will NEVER trust:

1. Military vehicle fuel gauges
2. Politicians
3. Folks that say "The checks in the mail".

The only thing that lies more consistantly than a career politician is a MV fuel guage.

The difference between the politician and the fuel gauge is there is nothing you can do to fix the politician....

now that is cunning.

If you look at your Fuel gage as having two options , i.e. Full and Not-Full, you wont be disappointed.

Make yourself a graduated dip stick and keep it in the cab. I have one in each truck. Wont get stuck with the stick.
