Other than when I was a EUC newbie, Daniel also pulled the incorrect closing date BS with me. It was kinda of funny as I used the version that GL had saved on their site and the only information that I had to enter was my SS# and the event number.
I sent GL a very terse responce and the...
Going the GL aution route, the biggest problems are in order:
Bent drive shafts
Dented front fenders and doors
Cracked transfer cases
In-operable glow plug modules
Rusty rear tailgates and in-operable or broken tail gate windows.
In-operable/missing instrument gage clusters.
Cost is...
If you can get them to load the compressor on the back of the trailer. I think you are going to find that the trailer has a lot of tongue weight.
Also, with the axles mounted in the middle of the trailer the trailer will wag around a bit once you speed gets above 50 mph or so.
Check the...
Google up Cat 3116 engine problems then we'll talk about that engine.

The International DT466 engine has been in production since 1975 and still running strong.

Rumplecat,
Have you completed this recovery yet? Hopefully all went well.
I'm interested in how your Armada handled to weight of the trailer without brakes.
First, calm down. Take a couple of deep breaths. Feel better?
Everyone gets a GL nasty-gram once in a while. I got one a few months back and wanted to wring the neck of the pencil neck geek that was reviewing my form. I responded with a terse note that I sent my EUC in the same evening as the...
You can't afford the overkill approach, trust me on this.
I use Wilkerson filters for my spray paint needs at home.
I have two filters in series. Both filters are 1/2 pipe thread. The first is a M16 coalescing filter and the second is an after filter AF2.
The first filter is a 5 micron...
Any of the auctions that had the time entered in red were still active auctions when my script finished.
I wrote a script that recorded from 15 minutes before auction close to 30 minutes after. I just had come back to my desk and zipped the files and sent them home to compile.
I attempted...
Oh, and look at the price for the field kitchen!
I changed the text color to something a littlle easier on the eyes.
ALSO, dates and times in red were still active auctions when my script timed out @ 5:31 PM.
If you remove "perl" from the aution link you can go directly to the GL site to...
With the lid of the pressure pot off of the cup, see if you have any air flowing from the small hole in the cup lid. If the regulator won't adjust the air pressure by unscrewing the regulator knob, take it back to HF.
You should not need more than 10-15 psi to force paint up the tube into the...
Kenny, thank you for posting these pictures and going thru the bother to try different configurations of loading.
I think I might be OK with the forward looking load approach. I am going to bring a 5K gas generator and a small Makita air compressor as well as two 16 inch tires on steel wheels...
Any possibilities of turning the trailer around so that it's going the same direction as the tow vehicle?
With the 101 tonge is resting on the deck the 116 there should be enough tonge weight to keep the whole affair from bobbing around. Would also make it a bit easier to unload when you get...
Chief, I worked overseas for a few years performing both flight test operations as well as product support for one of the big three aircraft engine makers.
We were able to capture business due to nothing more than product support.
One airline that wasn't even one of our customers at the time...
Kenny, thanks for posting these pics.
I am driving almost 700 miles to Blount for pick-up and really don't want to pull a car trailer both directions.
By your pics, it appears that the 101a3 with tires on will still have enough of tire on the 116 deck. I'll still think hard about leaving...
The problem with the way that DoD is issuing these contracts is that it's and all or nothing approach.
While BAE may be a British incorporated company, they build the FMTV at the old S&S plant in the Houston Texas area.
Boeing also protested the aerial refueling tanker contract given to the...
