Gimp, were not talking about a demil code change, but an "awl shucks, we really have a need for those items we sold off and now want them back." I've made a fair number of purchases from GL that were not demil coded items. Some have been purchased with the intent of keeping a few items for me...

So you've have seen this before on non-demil B and Q items? I would imagine that if GL had to post this policy in clear bold type on their website on each and every auction, that the price of surplus would drop thru the floor. Who would want to bid on anything that could be taken back with...

Received an E-mail form GL this afternoon and in the message was a note that made me think, how can they do that? Has anyone seen this before? I understand that demil B and Q items can be requested back, but now it appears that any items they decide could have some usefullness can/could be...

An M1008 is a CUCV, basic 3/4-1 ton pick-up truck. If you fins a way to shoe horn a DT-466 into one of these, please post pics.

You would be better off getting a second engine and then rebuilding it. This way you can still use your truck while the rebuild is taking place. I have a 6.2 running take out engine if interested.

The Izuzu diesel makes a lot more hp than the 6.2 or 6.5 GM diesel does. You would have to replace the transmission and transfer case or it will suffer an enrly demise. As for a kit to install, I'm sure someone does, but you'll need to also need to replace the instrument cluster as well as an...

The only reason that I brought up changing the gen head is/was that if the regulator goes out on a MEP, replacements are pricey and somewhat hard to find. By changing to a commercial head all of the controls would be new and available. Also I am looking at moving my higher hour machine (2200...

I've seen some of these sets being converted to using a commercial generator head. Marathon Power systems is the one that I have looked at. Where else can you purchase a low rpm diesel engine already skid mounted that all you have to do is to mount a $2000 head and have a genset well worth...

Give me the dimensions of the pins and I'll see what I can find. Also, what type of brass? All types (hardness and shear strength) of aluminum can be purchased.

Don't confuse sales tax with motor fuel taxes. Two completely different taxes. State and federal motor fuel taxes on average amount to close to 50 cents per gallon. http://www.api.org/statistics/fueltaxes/upload/DIESEL_TAX_MAP_JAN2010.pdf

He committed the double wammy, non-taxed diesel which is dyed red and then used recycled oil to boot. Uncle Sammy could care less what fuel you use as long as taxes are paid.

If you have a micrometer or dial caliper, check to see how round the spindle is. Take measurements around the entire spindle. Any areas that are higher in measurement are areas that you should pay attention to when sanding with crocus cloth. If it's really out-of-round, you may need to sue a...

The A3 will go better in the snow in stock form than the A2 with no additional weight in the bed. The load area on the 14.00 singles digs down to pavement, while the duals on the A2 float on top. Add 2 tons to the bed of either the A2 or A3 and both are about equal. As for the Hummer vs the...

Before I would go off and re-weld a stainless steel end on a carbon steel tube, I would go to a local truck salvage yard or purchase a set of tanks off a fairly new wrecked truck. My local Crazy Rays junk yard charges $25 per tank. Also, a few companies have started making air tanks out of...

Forget the idea of flying passengers for charity. The liability insurance would be a killer. Registering it as experimental might or might not be allowed since this would be an attempt at circumventing the original FAA type cert. Per PART 27—AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: NORMAL CATEGORY...

Woodland Desert Sage, 34201. The company that I work for makes a lot of parts for the Chinook (and Boeing) and 34201 is the color that they are painted.

From TM 9-2330-392-14&P The difference between the M1101 and M1102 cargo trailers is listed on the Identification and Shipping Plates. The difference between the maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is based solely on the towing vehicle. All trailer models can be towed by a HMMWV M1097/M1114...

First off, please learn to spell as my head hurts more with each and every post.rofl You asked for ideas, not someone to design and build the truck for you. You have enough information to do a little research on your own. I'm finished with this thread. Good luck and happy building.

Purchase an M818 tractor and a MK.48/17 trailer and have the frame of the tractor cut to attach the self loader. The trailer already has a drivetrain in place with large floatation type tires. Mk.48/17 cargo carrier with a hydraulic load handling crane. It is capable of carrying loads up to 18...

What you are showing is an Oshkosh PSL minus one axle. For the paltry price of $285,000. You to can have one.
