Went to start my M925A1. Two batteries only. I run all my 5tons on just two batteries. I've never had a problem. Ambient temp was 110ish.
Battery switch on, all is well. Two triple clicks of the systems check.
Flip the switch to start. The NH250 cranks vigorously and immediately fires...
Lindsey97 is the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back, or in this case the wheels off his truck.
After 2 blowouts I was without a spare. Lindsey pulled wheels off his truck to send back with me, and even delivered one roadside (with his dumptruck no less!) for blowout number 3...
So begins my latest ill-conceived trip. I'm leaving momentarily , driving my M923A2 and towing Carnac's M101. First destination is Carnac's to return his trailer and hand off some goodies to pass down the line.
I'll update this with pics at each trivial little stop. :)
Anything I have can be delivered en route. Anything Carnac has can be delivered en route(go look at his M1061 trailer!).
Also along the way we have Droprat, and Ryan, and Warthog and several others. Warthog is dumping a bunch of stuff so cheap that it's almost free - here's your chance to get...
..and I have no idea why I bought it. It's a completely useless heavy thing. I have no idea what to do with it.
I guess I'll just have to get the front half....
A couple of you said you wanted pics. Here they are.
5ton to Nellis, first stop was at castle bravo's to grab the drawbar. Then on to Nellis. I handed off some stuff to silverstate55 who is one **** if a good guy, then we hooked up the MK16 to the 5ton and I drove back. Roughly 400 miles each...
Leaving tomorrow. Taking 5ton. Bringing back MK16.
If we've already discussed transport, your stuff is on my truck already abd/or I've coordinated pickup/handoff with the other people involved.
If we have not discussed transport and you need something moved cheap or free, now's your chance :)
I've spent the last few days moving. I'm convinced I have too much sh..tuff.
Filled the deuce twice, the redtruck twice, the M923A2 twice, and an M105A2 full to overflowing.....
And filled the M989A1 to the gills...
Made a bunch of trips of about 40 miles distance.
I won a lot out of Ft Carson CO. I contracted with a freight carrier for loadout and delivery. The freight carrier is apparently at the GL yard nearly daily.
Jared refused to release the lot , claiming lack of appointment. An appointment was made with Jared by the carrier for June 9th, which...
I am now accessing this site from my gf's phone.
Earlier when accessing the site from my identical phone, when updating my winch ad to mark it sold I get a message telling me I'm blocked, and tells me to cease the bad behavior.
I am now unable to access SS from my phone.
I'm beyond...
With next to no lead time Monkeyboyarmy grabbed a 2000lb pallet of chains out of Lockbourne and handed them off to Carnac in OH. Carnac in turn transported them to El Paso and handed them off to me today.... this is all greatly appreciated and goes well beyond what anyone could expect....
I just arrived home from my latest ill conceived trip...
I left out of Tucson last week in a tan M1009 loaded to the gills with everything from slave cables to an MRAP bumper.
I made my way across I 10 to Baton Rouge uneventfully, leaving a trail of MV related items in my wake and putting...
As new mk16. Here's what I'll have to work with:
M923A2
M989A1
Worst case, I'll have the scrapper come with a flatbed and I'll pull the winch and whatever else presents itself as desirable parts and wave bye at the rest of it. Ideally I'd like a way to safely transport it, either whole or...
M989A1, VSE rework in good shape.
As the title says, I need it transported to AZ or stored in LA until I can get there to pick it up. Timeframe 8 business days from today...
Leaving Friday morning 24 April, returning tentatively 27 April.
Empty M925 with either a CUCV or a 1ton Dodge on towbars behind it.
CUCV or 1ton Ram for the drive back.
Thanks!
I'll have a 1ton Ram and an empty M105. I'll be coming back to Tucson. Looking for some help with fuel costs.
I'll go out of route for reasonable fees.
Thanks
M1009 CUCV to LA, then M35A2 back to Tucson. Empty both ways.
I can take an M1101 both ways if it facilitates something. I can also take towbars if that makes something happen.
Looking for some offset to fuel costs....
NOS CUMMINS 8.3 block in crate/pallet from Tucson to NC. I can drop it at the freight terminal here in Tucson or we can get it off my M925 onto your vehicle somehow (last one I sold we got about 5 of us and yanked it by hand)
Destination is commercial address with a forklift.
Pallet 4x4x3...
Is the block for our M939a2 trucks the same as used in a 325 HP 8.3 in a motorhome from the late 90's?
Yes, I searched. Yes, I called Cummins. Yes, I called several parts places to ask for numbers. No answers forthcoming.
Old bad block motor number is 45383673. New block part number is...
