Been off the road since fall of 2011 and used around the property in 2012 to be parked in the fall until now

Excited to be so close to the finish line. I have the air tank for the horns and will be delivering them next week unless you need them sooner.

As for the glow plugs she will be put away and stored end of oct.. early november so they wont need to be top notch for winter weather.. Hopefully they will last until next year when I am able to afford a engine swap.

It is finally back home and on the road! Thank you again Roy for all of the hard work. I still have to bring it back to get the bullet proof windshields and a few other items looked at but all in all it is working great considering what shape it was in joust a few months ago.

I'd prob start with a known good pmd first...

That's the problem when trucks sit for a while, always get new issues with time.



But again nice to see it on the road
