Who all lives near Grand Junction? There is a guy on the D90 list who is 
looking at getting a series truck for a daily driver and would like to get a 
good look (and maybe a drive) at one first.

LRC Canada sent out price lists to interested individuals. These gave
prices, in error, on the SE including sun roof. The sun roof is an option at
additional cost.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

What are the probable causes of a speedo that doesn't light up?  I have a
military version with the primary scale in Km if that makes a difference.  I
have a trip odo, oil pressure light, cold start light and something else I
don't remember at the moment.  Can anyone help?  Even the obvious would be
appreciated.

Indirectly :)  I and the other Series drivers merely demonstrated that 
Series trucks are not fragile antiques when we went to Moab - and Bruce was 
amazed with how well Basil trundled down the highway with a stock 
drivetrain, 39 hp and no overdrive.

I didn't know he was looking for a chance to drive one. Hmm, maybe I'll put 
the doors back on Basil and let him have a shot at it.

My speedo has one bulb dead center of the back side of the case.  Check the
bulb, then check for power to the bulb

Bulb and connection thereto.  There's a 12v bayonet-style socket set 
into the rear of
the speedo case; it gets ground through the case while the hot feeds 
through the socket.
Check the bulb first, then for voltage to the centre lead, then that the 
socket is grounding
to the case properly.  If you suspect the ground, check the black leads 
that should be
lugged under the speedo case attachment screws.

In order:

Bad bulb
Bad ground
Bad Lucar connector on the end of the socket wire.
Bad solder joint of the hot wire to the contact in the
socket.

I've seen all of the above - no, not all on the same
truck.....8*)

Use a test lamp and start checking the bulb circuit -
it will turn up in a hurry.

You do have the dashboard panel light switch on,
right? Other gauges are illuminated?

Just checking.....8*)

Specially when you realise the vehicle was in LA.  And sure looked like a
109 from the few shots I saw.
