You probably should pick 1 of your threads on the same thing instead of cross-posting the same thing with different titles and keep all the information in 1 thread.

Must be people are burned out on voting from the mid-terms , it looks like only 38 people have voted for thre tee-shirts design as well . Might be a slow month for the trucks.
As frank pointed out do you do your own maintenance ?
Your probably not going to find many local auto repair shops that work on them ( or if they try they don't know what they are doing).
Mv's tend to be owner maintained vehicles.

They did have ad in the banners but I'm running ad blocker so I don't see what ads are up.
Depending on how much he uses it in the winter he may want to stay with 6TL's or 8D's being that he is from upstate New York. Even here in Michigan it doesn't take long to run a set of batteries down which leads to premature starter failure.

you can back out of the deal.
Make sure you don't spill even diluted muratic acid on any concrete without a heavy wash down right away or you won't have a finish left on the concrete.
You may want to read this thread since your from Ohio.It may be why he wants to trade for your M35A2 that can be driven on-road in Ohio.

The cost is a factor with the military They also use 15W40 in transmissions on big trucks to keep the supplies simple.
Personally I would just put a block heater on it and be done with it , because your going to want to dumb the 5W40 before temps warm up in the spring.
