Howdy. It's actually my truck. The BF stole the brand new AGM batteries out of the truck between the time I bought it and picked it up. I don't hesitate to use the word "steal" there because the new batteries were mentioned in the ad.
Anyway, Towcat pointed me at it, and I bit. The initial report is that it wouldn't run because there was no power going to the IP. I pulled the wire and supplied one of my own. Fired right up. The idle needs adjusting; the engine's fighting to go when I put it in gear, like it's not happy about being held down a hundred RPMs. It's a little like a snorting bull. I haven't been able to drive it much. When I tried (at night), the headlights flickered on and off with every bump. The transmission is shiftable with an electronic switch, but appears to not shift automatically. All these things are fixable. Just takes time and money.
