    I sued IronPlanet and won

    Doghead, so far yes. I created a backup account in case they shut down my main one. Guyfang, with so many recent complaints, it might end up going this way. 98G, 6 of 1, 1/2 a dozen. Sucks I had to officially file a suit against them but oh well. It all worked out.

    I sued IronPlanet and won

    I guess it depends on what you consider won, but we settled out of court and I got what I asked for. The long and boring. I bid on a civilian truck, won, paid, tried to set up a pickup time and the pickup contact wouldn't call me back. I tried all ways but was unsuccessful and after the...

    M925A2 and M923A2 Tires, Rims, and Lugs

    16.00r20's aren't bad. I got it down to about 40 min each and part of that time was waiting for my compressor to fill. Tightening all the nuts onto the rim 1/2 sucks up a lot of air. Get a really small bottle jack to expand the tire bead, ratchet strap the beadlock into a bean shape and use a...

    mep804a has no output

    Unfortunately I never found out what was wrong. Guyfang was a huge help but in the end I didn't have the time to dig deeper and I sold the unit. The guy who bought it reworks them for the concrete cutting industry and his diagnosis was the gen head was bad.

    Injection pump oil change? Bosch MW

    Ok that makes sense. I added a race oil that's blue to test to see if the oil mixes with the crankcase oil. 74M35A2 check your pm. I need a alternator Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Injection pump oil change? Bosch MW

    When I was turning up the fuel on my IP I noticed the oil was kinda black. I changed the engine oil about 200 miles ago and it still looks amber colored. Does the IP have its own oil? I drained about a 1/2 a quart from the timing pin plug and added a new 1/2 a quart into the 10mm allen plug on...

    M923a2 8.3 Injection Pump Troubleshooting

    Sorry I can't help but there is no shear pin or key on the IP gear. Its a tapered shaft.

    Turning Radius Question

    That graph isn't consistent. It says a dump truck has a tighter radius than a tractor which was the same wheel

    need 150 mile tow Los Angeles to Ridgecrest, Ca. M932A2

    Call around and get prices. I had my 931 hauled on a landoll and it was $900 to go 45 miles. Insurance is $250 a year, $20 day permit from the DMV and a friend with a CDL to drive might be cheaper.

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    I appreciate the info and the sincerity. I wish what was in the notes was accurate and true. Fortunately for me, I record all my calls and have emails that will prove a different story than the notes. It seems like dealing with any subsidiary of IP is all good until an issue comes up, then the...

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    Apparently there isn't anything anybody can do, ever. That's what got us here. When you log into govplanet, ironplanet, truckplant etc, and go to the terms and conditions, section 16 that discusses "Notices" it says that IP is the company to contact. IP and more specifically Randall Berry is...

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    I don't mind sharing here. It will be public record after we go to court. I bought item #896481 a International 4700 truck, paid, called the scheduler to pick up and the 1st number was disconnected, called the 2nd number and it went straight to VM. I left a message but it was not returned. 2...

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    Unfortunately I get to go to my local court tomorrow and file a small claims suit against Iron Planet. They have been non responsive and unhelpful and now this is my only option.

    GP system glitch with release codes. Am I the only one?

    I'm done dealing with GP. I've had problems in the past and thought it was just part of the process but now its too much. I bought a civilian truck from the auction, paid, and have made several attempts to schedule a time to pick the item up and can't seen to get a call back. 1st number they...

    3 batteries

    Over the past few years I have had a handful of batteries spontaneously short internally leaving them completely dead. This has happened in my 5 ton, two of my cars and my pickup. I use 2 batteries in the 5 ton now but I had a spare battery that wasn't hooked up, and when one of the batteries...

    Timing, EGT's and boost

    Thanks. That's one of the reasons I attempted this, because I knew I could easily go back to the stock 8 degrees. To be honest I cannot remember which way I rotated the motor. I should have been more careful but I was in a rush. Looking back, I had a 50/50 shot of being correct. lol I can't...
