    GP 3 day payment

    First off, it is a business of supply and demand. This is nothing new and has always been the case with buying from GP. There was talk of a deposit and the rest being paid at time of pickup. Guess that never went anywhere. I was frustrated when I was waiting forever for my EUC to clear yet...

    Govplanet Service, Jwade does it again!

    Data plates, mileage and Fuel Gauge are 3 things you can never rely to be true on green trucks. My 998 is dated 1989, was reset in 2011 and yet the VIN is 2XX9 Yes, a 4 digit vin number on a 1989 LOL I did not trust the mileage (460 miles) but it was a clean truck and I figured WOOHOO at least...

    FYI. GovPlanet no longer allows partial payments on items $5k+

    Just my thoughts: They have to pay 2.5% or more for any credit card transaction. That said, if they are going through a third party then it is probably more. On one sale that is nothing but 400 sales then it adds up. They dropped from 10 to 5K (Make more money) Also, once the Wire Transfer is...

    Important quick check on Starter mounting

    I just had the motor replaced in my 1038 to a 6.5 and at some point the broke off the front mounting bracket of the starter. I know it is a small and obscure little part but making sure that yours is installed and in good shape is more important than you know. The bracket is at the front end...

    U-Joint replacement

    I need to replace one of the u-joints and was wondering if anyone has done it. Seems like a simple job but was wondering if anyone has done it in place or is it better to remove the driveshaft ? Figured I would ask.

    New Home, awaiting EUC to clear

    Welcome to the club. The first thing I tell new owners, if you are a first time buyer, the cheapest part is buying the HUMVEE. Every week you will want to do new and more with it. I just put a 6.5 in one of mine and the other is going to get a 6.5 with the 4 speed at some point here. Have the...

    M1123 Purchase Experience

    Well out of the first 3, one got no bids and the other two did not meet their reserve price. This is not ebay, why are they doing this reserve BS ? Set a starting price you will take for the item and move on. Not that everyone knows that the reserve is 40K or over I bet not one of them sells..
