I would be surprised if they EVER sell for much less than $5,000 and it will be interesting to see what impact they have on the hobby. My guess is, there are a lot folk that are interested in them that would never buy a bigger vehicle and don't want to work on real old stuff. The perception...

Thanks Artisan, It is a good reminder! Start from the beginning. I sold him the truck pretty cheaply because 1) it is a desert storm veteran and I wanted it to go to someone that I knew would take care of it and he will. Number 2) while I love to drive them, I don't care so much for the maint...

Thanks Swamp Donkey, I am sure you are right. We opened the PCB today and verified that we had voltage to the small red wire on the lower solenoid as well as power to one side (when the master was on.) Tried tapping it but that didn't help. Thought about bridging across to see if the gauges and...

Thank you so much!

Yep, that sounds exactly like what we are experiencing. Thanks, looks like I probably owe him a PCB.

I guess I should first make sure I have 24 volt at the solenoid first and if I do then check continuity? Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks for the help here, now just a little more please. When you say energize them should I take all the lines off the solenoid first and can I do it with minimal voltage to test the continuity? I am way out of my expertise here. Btw, where does one get the solenoid if it is bad? Or what does...

I thought about that too. I looked it over and it looked fine and all the fittings are tight. I did wonder if maybe one of the jumper cables was broken inside. I haven't checked that. Plus, it started after he changed the battery at least three or four times without issue. Guess it is worth a...

I have looked at two in my area. One looked about the same as that one and it ran (though the brakes were bad.) The owner wanted $5,300, but he still has it. The other one was LOTS rougher and the owner said it ran (no brakes) but when I looked at it I wasn't at all interested at the price he...

Gentlemen I need some help. I recently sold my 925 to a good friend and neighbor as I felt like I wasn't able to keep it up. He has had it about ten days and called to tell me it wouldn't start. The only thing he has done since he got it is put in a new battery I bought him, cleaned it (told him...

Umm, I have neighbors that would do that, just to mess with me about "mileage." I guess it depends on what the neighbor thought the gas would do and Jeepsinker says they get along well.....If he has done it more than once, he knows the gas won't put the motor down, personally, I wouldn't assume...

Found the diagram, thanks guys, now if I only knew how to read it :-) Oh well, guess I will start by fixing the ground wire and see what happens from there. Thanks again for the help.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 925? I found the one for 915's in the TM's and I looked through the TM for a wiring diagram but I didn't find one. I was tightening up the battery terminals tonight and the metal rod that holds the seat up, slipped off the ledge, poked a hole in the...

Welcome to the site. I think it's awesome that you are taking your time to educate yourself regarding your purchase. I hope you are as diligent regarding the driving of the truck as well. These are not just big pickups. These are not even just big class 8 vehicles. They are tactical vehicles...

Extremely articulate and well presented. I for one await further information or instruction. Thanks for all you folk do for us.

That is a seriously cool truck. It is right that it was restored! What a shame had it not been. Zout haven't met you, but I have to agree, you do indeed rock!

Not totally sure what you are looking at, can you post a pic?

Are there enough of these vehicles in the collector insurance pool for the insurance companies to care what the outcome is? If there are enough to make a difference to the insurance carriers, 1) Do we have any reason to think they are aware or up to date on the issue and 2) is there any way we...

Well, black smoke is unburned fuel, how is your air filter? How is the glow plug system working? Could be you have more than one issue going on here. If it were mine, I would start by changing ALL the filters.

Let us know what the Missouri folk can do in this effort. I will contact Graves office and offer support as well.
