Start simple, make sure your cables and connections are good.

I didn't see safety triangles on that list but not sure it was meant to be comprehensive. I changed a 1400 on the side of the road, but I have a gantry on my 925 that allows a person to lower the spare to the ground and hoist the blowout back up to the bed. Just be sure you don't let the tire...

Wow, I never wanted one - till now - just like that! Great work.

Here's a tip to help you keep your drill bit lined up on the broken bolt. Cut a section of the broken bolt (a part without any threads) about an inch long. Drill through the center of the bolt section with the same size bit you are going to use on the motor. Place that on the drill bit with...

Ya know, the truth is, no matter what you say, they aren't going to get it, if they did, they wouldn't have to ask.

Are you getting black smoke or running clean. That will tell you a lot. If you are smoking I would suspect a exhaust restriction. If the exhaust can't exit fast enough and creats back pressure, it won't let the turbo spool up, resulting in low turbo pressure and unburnt fuel - black smoke. If it...

Hey, welcome to the site, hope you enjoy your time among us!

If you can't weld a nut on, go with Glen's suggestion and use left twist drill bits. I broke one off in my 6.5 and the left twist bit backed it right out, didn't even need the easy out. As Patracy suggested be sure the bracket on the end of the starter is tight, otherwise you will be doing it...

Yeah, a search will bring up a ton of threads on this. I have the same problem on a 1400 super single. They tell me it is the o-ring. I took the tire and wheel off and replaced it with a spare but when the weather gets nice I might give replacing that o-ring a shot. There is a good thread about...

I am familiare with the changes to the historic plate allowances but 1,000 miles a year personal use works okay for me. That doesn't include, taking it to fuel up, for parts, parades, static display etc. That doesn't sound like it will work for you though. Good to hear you have it worked out. I...

Not sure what who "they" (I suspect your local DMV) are but when I took my title to Jeff City for my historic plate, they didn't have any problem with it at all. If you start getting into a bind, I would suggest you go straight to Jeff City I don't think you will find any issues there. If you...

No problem friend, just want you to enjoy your time here and gotta look out for a fellow Mo. guy.

Wooldridge huh? I am from the Pilot Grove area, live just East of KC now. Welcome to the site, don't miss the banner on the top of the page. I am right up there with you on age and I say go for it! I bought a 925 and it's a ball. Just be prepared to do some heavy truck maint and repair or be...

Sorry to hear that Glen. You would think anyone interested in military vehicles would have some sense of honor about them. Pathetic folk those.

Great looking truck! Good she's home, have fun and best of luck.

Did I miss it? I didn't see any FISHING going on. Did ya catch anything?:???: Iwould love to have somplace like that to play:-D

Mike you make a great point, age and condition is everything. There is no way of knowing how many times these tires were flat or driven underinflated which really does render the specs invalid. That is an important point to remember - thanks.

You are exactly right, it is bad. I had a few front end blowouts when I was a commercial driver but those tires did not come apart like the one did on my 925. The thing to remember is.... it was at least mostly, if not completely, my fault. I didn't follow basic safety rules. When I picked the...

Cool ramp, where did you get it?

Thanks for the detailed post, I have thought about one of these trucks but I don't have body experience either. I will watch this closely!
