Hi folks,
Im about to acquire my first heavy truck, a 1985 (I believe) 1900S. DT466 and a automatic, I’m assuming Allison trans. The good thing is, I am in communication with almost all the previous owners. The guy who originally bought it is dead, so I can’t talk to him. It’s been sitting for about 10 years, and I’m getting it on the cheap. The story is, it broke down on the highway, got towed to where it is now, and has been there ever since, and the current owner wants it gone. I’m going to go have a look at it today, maybe poke around it a little (see if the engine is free, maybe start draining oil, etc). I have the book for the 466, but I don’t have the book for the truck. Is Navistar my only source for the service book, or does Haynes or someone else publish a book for it? Thanks!
