    M1009 up for auction in Indiana

    Just a thought is there a way to make the submit tab for posting have a flasshy warning pop up when first hit giving the user a warning about not posting current/upcoming auctions before given the opportunity to hit the submit button again and making the post online? This problem seems to come...

    Why does all the cool stuff auction in Hawaii!

    Rust I think another item to consider with trucks coming from Hawaii is the rust factor. Take a look at the pictures of the engine/air compressor off that truck. Pretty crusty looking considering it's age. With all of the salt spray you would also be chasing alot more wiring corrosion...

    Allison auto in a M813 ??

    Auto's The 600 series MD Allison's at least the 653's didn't hold up to well in the industry we sell trucks to (refuse trucks). The 740 & 750 on the other hand were great transmissions and I have some guys who get 6 years out of them. When you look at the stopping and starting that a garbage...

    SoCal M818w/w on EbayMotors-1 day left

    M818's Thanks Bruce. As Bruce mentioned typically a business would typically find the value with the truck on Ebay or possibly a collector that enjoys heavier trucks that can do work. We started out with 5 of the refurbed M818's and are down to two left for sale. One truck is in Ohio and one...

    Straight pipe on a NHC-250

    I've always wondered what the NHC 250 would sound like without the muffler. Some engines such as a Ford NA 7.3 diesel without a muffler in my opinion actually sound worse and more gas engine like. Make sure you get a sound clip of this modification after your install. I figure if you are...

    Shipping from columbus to anywhere

    I think that you will find that most people on here including myself will typically go for the lowest bidder on shipping. I think that it would be tough to be busy enough to haul exclusively GL items and have a full trailer load of goods to make a decent living. I also think the logistics...

    Meet in Minnesota?

    I'm in Owatonna, MN and would be more than glad to host an event at our place in the Summer. We can park approx 15 trucks in our building in case we have bad weather. I'm planning on going out to Iola, WI next year to check out that show. The ND MV club has some really great members with a...

    Why should I buy a 5-ton?

    We own M35's and 5 tons. The 5 tons are more meaty there is no questions about that- bigger axles, t-case, a Cummins engine about twice the CI as a multi, much bigger spring packs, larger stance, etc, etc. Most guys for hobby use are going to have a hard time overloading their M35 so the...

    Newbie Exhaust Question

    I agree with the guys who say leave it alone and buy a plush King Ranch if you prefer quiet. The multifuel exhaust note is one of the best exhaust notes in my opinion. Why muffle something so raspy? Actually if I could make mine louder I would. As long as you don't drive like an mullet...

    Sterling truck brand soon to be no more

    This was announced yesterday to the public. If you have a Sterling in your fleet you better sell it as the resale value is about to go down real quick just as the Sterling/Freightliner Condor model did when they sold the cab to American LaFrance. It's a shame because the Sterling Acterra was...

    GL Using the best SEABEE Truck

    Looks clean but if it has the 7.8 Brazilian made Ford Diesel run away as fast as you can!!! We couldn't even get a trade in price on customers trucks when were speced with the 7.8 diesel as none of the big dealers we worked with wanted that engine. Looks like somebody has a slow day at GL due...
