I used the Whistler to trailer my M715 55 miles to the Texas Rally the first weekend of November and back. No problems with the truck, just my civillian trailer throwing a tire. A week later I took the Whistler to a Boy Scout camp out. While going to gather my Scouts I noticed the left blinker...

The gun ring mount goes behind the door hinges and if your door hasn't been off in a while or ever. Plan on breaking a few of the screws off. Yes, it does leave a gap if removed and nothing put back in its place.

He did that a while ago. Kind of nice to see green iron on a tv show not getting cut up thought isn't it?

Reverse and low with your feet on the floor will go off the trailer just about as fast as you went on. Keep it in gear and the clutch engaged. No problems.

A serious thing I couldn't figure out how to work into my funny post above was this. Without fail, the people I have met through the MV hobby are some of the best I have ever met. We all seem to have the same basic values, wierdly all seem to have the same non MV hobbies and interest. Mostly...

If the u joints check out ok, look at the engine and transmission mounts next.

You can drive it on the trailer in 1st low. Just idle up and shut down once on top. The parking brake will also work at that speed to stop you.

Ok, just making sure you weren't sitting in the front yard, flooring the pedal and complaining because you couldn't see grass flying from the front tires. The shift forks are inside the transfer case. Unlock the front hubs. With the parking brake set, tcase in 2wd and the truck in park...

Have you confirmed it is a transfer case problem and not a front axle/lock out hub problem? I know you wrote that 4 low works and hi doesn't. How are you testing it?

No, not really. I just have some parts that will be going that way some time and some parts that need to come this way some time. The past two years it has worked out to a Valentines day trip to see Warthog with my wife at home. Thank fully, Valentines day is not on a weekend this year so I...

Yes, treat it with tender care and respect. Those little contact ends will fall off if you look at them wrong. I have found super glue is a great way to hold them to the circuit while you solder them back together though. You can change all the bulbs on the cluster with it in the truck. You...

You wrote that you replaced the ends on a "bad" cable. How bad was that cable and why didn't you replace it? Giggle that cable and try to start again.

Watch your volt meter. Does it jump up from the middle of the yellow to the middle of the green as soon as the noise stops? That would mean to me that the noise is associated with the glow plug system turning off. Check every connection in that system by taking it off, cleaning it and putting...

It will start with a truck, then a web site. Next you will be emailing and writting pm's to other members here. Pretty soon you will be talking on the phone with a few. Then making a family trip to go get parts. Family vacations across the country to pick up parts will follow. You will...

Check your airpack vent line. If it is full wet and just dripping fluid, then the airpack is blowing the fluid out the vent and needs a rebuild. Can you pump up the brake pedal to get pressure? Do you hear the pssst of released air after you let go of the pedal? I am only 80 miles away, but...

They already took your money though, right? Don't you love the way that works? There seems to be a good bit of vehicle and parts/vehicles needing to be transferred between here and OKC. We might need a plan here.

Oh cool, a fight!

But, he has to pick up Chris in the pink area.

This is going to sound like a snide comment, but the -20 manual troubleshooting section is where you should start. Where was the volt meter on the dash showing all the time the #2 alternator wasn't working right?

Good deal. Call me anytime after 1700 central time if you want me to flat tow the thing to my place next week. I will mix up a batch of brew for the Whistler over the weekend and make a fun day of it. I will be driving the M1009 into Austin tonight for the local LSMVPA meeting. Just letting...
