Rebuild Date?

[WSm925a2]

Yeah, seems to be the case for me. Besides CTIS and the alternator pulley, truck does start right up and runs seemingly good.. Didn't try winch yet.

Guess I got a lesson, I paid $15k for it. Received it a week ago and just now really started to dig in. Yesterday the pulley on the alternator fell apart,hoping my local alternator/starter shop can replace it, I pulled alternator today to take in for repair.

Don't feel bad, we all do it sometimes. I overpaid on my deuce a little bit also.

Well, my guy seller said the spare was brand new, even sent me pictures of the little rubber nubs on the tires, turns out he switched it out to a used tire before my carrier picked up the vehicle.

Ouch.

That alone would have made me angry and should be discussed with the seller.

 

[Katavic918]

Screw it. We all end up putting way way more money into an mv than well ever get out of it. Hind site is 20\20 just keep moving ahead. But yeah, I would be a little ticked about the tire.

You live and you learn. Next time you'll know to be more careful, and also to hold them to the pictures that they took of the vehicle. That's why I always prefer to buy vehicles in person.

I have a truck with an NH250 with a manufacture date of 2007 and that's the latest date I've seen on an 855.

Our M931A1 08/2010 RRAD rebuild NHC250 has 03/10 on the engine tag.

Somebody needs to get called out over that. Not cool at all.

Mine has a dated overhaul tag fixed to the drivers door jamb.

A1 and A2 usually indicate design improvements on newer models.

'Improvement' is a relative term

Modification, revision, or change, would be a more accurate description, IMO.

Well I have seen different tags on trucks and it's really hard to know what was done with them. Looks like the military doesn't keep computer records in a data base about what kind of repairs have been done. I got a m925a2 from Riley this spring and it's a great truck with some small issues . I noticed a rebuild tag on the left side of the block and It looks like some major engine work was done.

 

[emmado22]

Yes they do keep those records, the hard part is getting them, which, once the truck is sent to DRMO, it impossible.

 

[Smckerigan]

I was a 63b and I still have friends here at the local national guard shop and they told me that you have to go back the the unit that it was issued to to find repair records or a floppy disk that might be in the truck. It's not like buying a ford or Chevy that you can go to any dealership and they can give you a break down by vin number.

If your motor was rebuilt/Overhauled you should find a tag such as this:

If the transmission is replaced/rebuilt it too should have a tag showing when it was done.

unfortunately the seller is a member here...i made a 440 mile round trip to see it and was excited about the pics he sent, yet when i arrived Helen Keller could have seen the night and day differences. what made me spooked was he was 2K higher in price once i got there, and the truck was in worse condition than the pics. id bet the pics were 2 years old. been talking to wsm925a2 and he is a pretty straight up guy.

Where on the engine did you find that tag?

 

[MtnSnow]

It is located on the Passenger side by the starter. (the starter will partially block/cover the tag depending on what angle you are looking from)

How does the seller being a member here affect anything at all? If the truck was misrepresented to the buyer, then I could care less what the buyer is a member of.
