Thanks to some research by tnmogger, we've been able to order NAPA Part BAT-7256 and come up with a 6TL battery. Cost is around $200/ea, but they gave me 20% off with the "bucket sale" I spent $195 out the door including tax and three tubes of grease. It it is a US Dept of Commerce and State...

Michelin XML is the knobby tire best for rough terrain I like the Goodyear MV/T as a compromise between off/on road The Michelin XZL is another tire with decent road manners

Wow great find! I wonder if we could upload it to the TM section?

Oh boy! Things just got serious around here... :doh: Thank you CSM Davis!

Good job sir! That is a nice camo job. Did you use Home Depot paint? I like how you laid out the 3-color pattern. I need to do something with my M-1083 since it is really faded. Nice thing for me is it started life as a camo rig, so I can match the pattern pretty easy for a repaint.

Great thread. I have enjoyed following your upgrades and general maintenance. Subscribed.

A member here on SS had the truck you describe for sale in classifieds for a while. It was an expertly done crew cab deuce, but may not have been bobbed. I've also seen it on the auction site and now believe it is listed on the site selling govt auction wheeled vehicles. Please understand we are...

I wonder if it has to do with the throttle linkage adjustment (slack). The shift points can easily be influenced by this from personal experience. Also, is there a throttle position sensor that would be different based on engine HP. There may be some communication issues between that and the...

You're going to like the 290 Hp engine. [thumbzup]

I'll jump in with the newly acquired M-1083

Thanks Mike! I will give that a try. These NOCO chargers are really good.

I don't know. The iPhone was not acting right last night. I've edited the post above with my laptop and now hope the photos are showing up. As an update, one of the batteries came up and the other didn't make it...

I'm going to wrap up this "recovery" thread with a few more updates. I will then move over to the FMTV section and start a thread on repairs, mods, updates, etc. Battery update: Noco through slave port was not a success. tnmogger helped me diagnose the two bats on the 24V (high) side were...

Looks like a nice rig. Keep us updated on delivery progress and repairs once you get it home.

Many try to move the box close to the cab. A benefit to that is a possible pass-through... Just remember the cab tilts forward to access the engine. For me personally, I would lean towards leaving spare, air/hydraulic pump, ether injection, spare with lift mech, hydraulic controls, etc in place...

It is also now working for me. Sweet! I can't completely fulfill my SS "fix" without the vids.

Success! We made it home safe this evening after a 60 mile recovery from a rural county Sheriffs Dept. I was assisted by our own tnmogger who drove over from the Knoxville area yesterday and camped overnight. He was a great asset in helping me check over the truck and change out a dry rotted...

Yes! I have been having this same issue. I don't think there have been any recent security or software updates from Apple. I thought at one point there was a user setting on SS related to embedded content, but I have not been able to find it. Maybe something else has changed on the SS server or...

I want one of those!
