I am trying to learn about these trucks and all the quirks. This is a super dumb question, how can you drive the truck with the alternator disconnected. Won't the low batteries completely die? Can you give me more details?
I have been using the Google search...I am finding things and creating a condensed listing of pertinent information and I am learning a great deal. As a new new members and sometimes "we don't know what we don't know" so we can't know what to ask to get the answers.
Well, I will certainly be happy to condense any link to a single post anyone sends me and will categorize it as needed.
Start sending and I will start searching too.
Here are some example that although they are website, can be made into a thread easily the last one will demo the thread style

http://www.bimmerzone.com/category/Tip_and_Tricks_Inspection.html
this last one combines many links...
this is good info. are our government paid employees that work on these trucks that uncaring or is it a middle man that is cleaning it up enough to make it passable? I do and will always inspect the truck before I bid, and I guess instead of just starting it up with some topical inspection...
would like to learn more about 5 ton trucks and wanted to reach out to someone who can point me to some resources about buying, repairing, reconditioning and generally add me to their email group broadcasts so I can get more involved.
Is there a way to make this a sticky and we all build on this post with details based on our experiences? That way this becomes more of a checklist/resource list for users?
Example would be:
1) Engine type xxxx
a) the occurs often
b) test this.....
2) Engine non turbo type xxx...
