Got her home =)

[actionpaintball]

Not my fist MV but my first deuce-got really lucky:

They lost the truck for 2 hours....we looked at EVERY VIN and sticker and then started looking in the lower lot where it should not have been....and she was there. Pulled and load tested the 6TL's and they were both at 8 volts-did not bother to put a load on them. Swapped in my two optima's I brought, checked fuel (fresh full tank), all fluids good, newer belts all tight-looks like a newer compressor and IP. Flipped the switch after a small prayer and fired right up. EVERY light, swicth, blinker, guage, wiper were peferct running order. Compressor came up to 120 psi in 1 minute and buzzer shut off. Went through all gears and let come up to 195 degrees.....drove it off the lot and did another sanity check with my infra heat probe on hubs, trans, engine, tcase and such. Absolutley no problems. Drove home 55-58 MPH on RT 64 70 miles home. Lots of thumbs up and honks....returned the favor with my air horns.

I am hooked-love the truck...where else can $1500 buy so much fun (outside vegas).

Richmond/Chesterfield new boss is TONY-was a great help but I think he got left holding the bag on a poorly magaged site two weeks ago.

and of course-a few pics:

Infra red probe - now that is a darn good diagnostic idea! Next you'll be telling us you had vibration probes on the gearcases. Then I would be even more amazed. Congrats on the sweet truck!

You got a W/W for $1500 ! You sir suck.
Congrats on the truck.

 

[bigelk50]

Wow You stole that thing!! Congrats, great looking truck!

 

[SgtHatred]

1500 W/W. You're making me think I paid to much for my truck Wo/W. Must have been a supply vs. demand thing.

Its just a cheapie in the toolbox but does its job...gives a quick sanity check on temperatures without the hassle of getting your hands and back dirty

Glad to see you got it home. How long did you wait for the EUC to clear? Looks like a nice truck. Can't wait to pick mine up in Richmond.

 

[actionpaintball]

EUC was about a month

 

[pctrans]

Picked this one up in Richmond on Tuesday. Fired right up; best piece I ever got from there.

Nice Duece! $1500 is a DEAL! That hummer looks great on those Boggers. Don't think I have seen one with Boggers before.

A winch and cover, and only batteries needed for 1500? Mark that one a bargain! Congratulations.

 

[actionpaintball]

he he....both 6TL batteries came back last night with a 10 minute 40 amp charge followed by 2 hour 10 amp charge each....now finishing with a one day trickle...but they load tested at 300 CCA each (actual@15 seconds)-so they should be good.
