. Or measure voltage with a meter... .

. Congratulations! That makes you legal and it's time to hit the road.

. I am thinking there has to be some measure in there for the condition of the vehicle. If your truck for example was straight off the auction block maintenance might be a lot higher initially. Replacing the rubber fuel lines, Replacing the cab bushings, Replacing aging or worn seats, and a...

. Can't wait to see what you end up with! Shuffling gears just feels good too...

. Rebuilding might be possible. Maybe a picture of your "park brake switch" might be good. Just to make sure you are talking about what we think you have.

. Yep. I understand the auction. Kinda sad, but I imagine the same thing will happen at my place. I figure there won't be any rush to sell because the house and shop are paid for. Hopefully that will give my poor green toys time to find good homes when I auger in.

. Nice looking passenger! Funny part is that you can leave your passenger in the boat or truck. Ten or fifteen minutes. Then you come back and it is like you are throwing a party... Tail wagging, happy to see you and all that stuff. Try that with a woman - and there won't be any tail wagging...

. What about TM9-2320-212-20?

. My first leak was just plain "old age". The Wet Tank (driver's side closest to the step) was rusted in a bad way. Truck is almost 40 years old and that is way beyond its expected lifetime. Road salt maybe, but it could have been regular old dirt that collected over the years. Spraying...

. First, @msgjd is "dead nut on" with his suggestion that you use the FMSCA website and spend a little time reading. There are rules even though we aren't "commercial" vehicles and having a truck that won't hold air is a bad thing. What you really need is to have your truck turned off - to...

. Thinking that your problem is related to the tie-rod ends. Jack up the left front off the ground. Grab the tire on the left and right and wiggle it left to right... There should be little or no motion. While you have it jacked up, grab the tire at the top and bottom and see if you have any...

. I FOUND IT! The link below is the "how to" guide on rebuilding the fuel valve on a 5-Ton. Old is good! Created back in 2011 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/5-ton-fuel-tank-selector-valve-cleaning-rebuild.76086/

. I don't know that they have anything these days but 40 years ago White Owl over in Kinston NC was a source. Good guys too. RH Bouligny was one of their customers when I turned wrenches back then.

. Well, everybody has an opinion. I am thinking it is a darn good looking truck to me. Best part is that it is DIFFERENT. Not as many of these as a lot of other MV's so it has a more appeal...

. Interesting... So, if you had some sort of night vision like it is used today - most times it is in a rifle scope or a set of goggles. We all know about NVG. I use FLIR for honeybees when I am looking at the side of a house or tree that seems to have a lot of bee activity. Just guessing...

. I'm really lovin that pup peeking out the window! Sounds to me like you have a little work to do - but since you were able to convince the grandson - and he gets to go on some of these camping trips what more could a body ask for... Sure is nice to have some SS brothers to help too!

. Might be worth a trip to a local junk yard (salvage yard for some folks) and find yourself a "new-to-you" air ride seat. Maybe?

. If you happen to still have that radiator that you and I talked about maybe a year ago - and it you happen to be coming through the big city of Charlotte - I would love to give you money in exchange. Tim

. Yes Sir. Please. PM inbound to you.
