    California Police Vehicle Weight Limit

    This article Too heavy to legally drive on state roads indicates that the San Joaquin County police department has three drivers with class "A " drivers licenses. They also indicate that since the truck only has seating for two, that a chase car will be following the vehicle to Ohio. What's...

    Should I be worried yet?

    I don't know of anyone that received a letter from DLA that was not approved. I think the letter is the last step in the EUC process besides the completed form being sent back to GL for their records. You have two choices. Send GL a certified letter with a copy of the DLA letter and ask if...

    C-5 Galaxy

    That must be flight test #1 with the GE CF6-80C2 engines. The entire C5B fleet is supposed to get glass cockpits and GE-80C engines. The C5a's are going to use the spare engines from the B models until 2016 when they have an appointment with the scrapper. The new model designation is C-5M...

    Trucks all mixed up

    Call the GL location and explain to them what you observed. I was bidding on a truck out of Richmond a few months back that the item description stated M35a2 while the photos showed a M35a3 truck. I got cold feet when the prices started getting higher than I wanted to pay if it turned out...

    14 Bolt Info

    Chrysler, GM and Ford recommend either removal of the drive shaft or an axle if towed on the drive wheels for distances greater than 25 miles. Automatic transmissions do not lubricate anything inside the transmission unless the front pump is turning which is driven by the torque converter. No...

    oil leak out of exhaust pipe

    Prestone used to sell a two part flush which consisted of an acid component and a neutrailzer that always worker well for me. The only issue using this flush is that you can't leave it in too long or you will end up having to install a waterpump since it will take the seals out with all the...

    14 Bolt Info

    Ken, The easiest thing to do is to purchase the axle gaskets to use as a template for your block off plates. What year is this M1008?

    EUC in 5 Days!

    The biggest thing that I see that speeds up the EUC process is living at one location for a long period of time. I'm way to easy to find. Funny thing on security clearances. 26 years ago when I first started working for the company I'm employeed, by I had to file for a top secret clearance...

    Thinking of buying a M116A3

    I got a M116a3 flatbed also from JAX, the same auction as Recovry4x4. The trailer has a dent in the fender, radials and 12 bolt wheels. I got it for $190 plus fees. M101a3's at JAX went for around $500 verses over $950 at Mechanicsburg PA. Location, location, location.

    Two Deuces Down--Hydrostatic Lock?

    Got anything big enough to push the deuce with? How about a pull start and jump the clutch. Good possibility that the starters got wet and possibly seized in place. Drop starter but leave the electrical hooked up and see if the batteries will allow starter to spin.

    EUC in 5 Days!

    Nope, not my first and probably won't be my last. Event 4663. Sent EUC to GL the afternoon of the 10th. GL forwarded EUC to Battle Creek on the 11th. Battle Creek approval and paid in full invoice on the 16th. Kudos to the GL reviewers and the folks at Battle Creek.

    Locked Military padlocks

    These are silver. Like I said I also have the three 700 series locks that are all keyed alike. Never gave much thought to selling them.

    Locked Military padlocks

    I have five American Lock Company pad locks, three 700 series of which one is a long shackle and two 5260 series locks all keyed alike. What are they worth? I changed over to Medeco high security locks with the cross cut tumblers.
