Right, if it's a 1984 truck that was rebuilt in 2009, it's not a 2009. I've had to research the serial number to figure out the year before applying for the SF97. Do yourself a favor and be accurate on the year.
I don't bid on vehicles that I don't think are operational, it's not worth the hassle to me. If it was close by, I might feel different. I've previewed trucks but never ended up with one of those. All the trucks I have were bought based on the description, pictures and video.

This is good information. You can get test strips that will detect BAC below 0.02%. If someone is really concerned, they can get a digital breathalyzer for precise detection of when they are over the limit!

Think of it from the comfort angle.
I've had a deuce and M818. Looking back, I would have liked to have kept the deuce, but for big trucks, I currently have a M929 (dump truck, because every little boy wants one) and M915A1 because it has AC and an air ride seat (comfort, and I want to get a...
Dittos on leaking. I've only seen one that had a rusted off impeller. If it's over heating and there's not a puddle on the ground, it's something else.
I was pretty happy my stock Deuce got 10 MPG. I had a 440 Duster that only got 10 MPG running 100LL (but was fast), and a '79 Dodge Power wagon that got 11 MPG. If you are starting in the single digits for fuel mileage, you are not going to see a huge improvement. Just suck it up and quit...
After looking at the air system diagram, I think I have it figured out. I have to look at the truck to be sure, because it's a little different from the air system diagram in the -20 TM. I'll post up when I'm finished.
Reading through the M915A1 -10 TM, I see the tractor parking brakes have to be released before the trailer air supply valve can supply air to the trailer. I did verify that mine works this way. I imagine either the military had this requirement, or that's the way trailer air systems worked in...
You realize it doesn't take much water to turn the oil white. Depending on the type of oil, you are only looking at a fraction of a percent to a few percent of the volume of oil. Considering how many times you have changed the oil, I think the level of contamination is down to the point you...
