Hello All, I have a friend in westen Montana that needs a complete steering column for his M1031. If anyone out there has one in good to excellent condition you can let me know or contact him direct. Keith's email is newfdad@earthlink.net. Thanks!

I'd like to start a thread about things we want GL to change. Please keep it civil and productive. I am sure we all have horror stories to share. I have not met many peop,e that dealt with GL on a regular basis that were satisfied customers. Well, what do you want changed? I'll start it...

It is one of two things. Either someone got scared off because they were unsure of exactly what is wrong...OR...they inspected the trailer and there is more wrong with it than a seal. I would bet it is the former, though. Good luck!

I once bought an M543A2 that had a really worn clutch. You could let the clutch out without the truck moving. It only started to move once you revved the motor. I drove that truck back home from an auction in DE. It was scary on hills as the truck would lose power when the clutch slipped. I...

You are correct, Mike...the bidder #s start at 77000001 or something. I never pay attention to the first few #s since they are same for all bidders as far as I know. The first few people to register were 77000001 and 77000002. I am not telling anyone anything they cannot deduce from looking...

It was a fairly new bidder...in the 400,XXX range. That means that 400,000 people registered for GL before him.

The shop vans seem to be hot items lately! I got one recently, too. I have not seen the truck in person, but a friend, who is a surplus dealer, told me it is the cleanest shop van he has seen. It has brand new Firestone radials on it and, surprisingly, they are 1100s, but they left them as...

My brother was in the Army from 1982 through 2002. He was an Engineer and was attached to both the 101st AB and 82nd AB. He said those were the only places that he ever saw an M342A2. He said the AB units used them because they could more easily be air-dropped than a 5 ton dump. He told me a...

I would check with John Murray on the wrecker parts. Last I heard, he had several wrecker parts trucks in his yard. John has always been a great person to deal with.

I use either Rotella 15W40 or Mobil Delvac 15W40...

...or, you can choose to believe that these trucks will be coming out for years to come and take your time. :D

What did you do for tags? Did you have insurance? Pretty cool convoy.

It really does not matter if you can prove it or not. The best they will do is offer to allow you to back out of the sale. I think Kenny said it best, GL SUCKS!!!! People...these are not isolated incidents. Parts are being stolen off of trucks and trailers across the country. I wish some of...

Please read the rules about posting auction information. The issue is not whether or not someone can get it for $150 or not, Mike. The issue is posting auction information is against the rules of this site. Like it or not...those are Chris' rules.

RE: Re: what r duece worth now (newbie) It depends where you are. Trucks in the NE bring more money...probably more competition up this way.

Yes, the cab protector is taller on the M939 series trucks. How much do you want for it? I have two brand new in crate kits, but I am always looking!

Those RED DOT A/C units are designed to reduce the ambient temperature in a vehicle from 125 degrees to around 80. So, in Louisiana, if the temps are approaching 100+ or so, that A/C will work just fine even with poor insulation.

There are collector's that are exceptions, but most people with whom I have talked who have owned a 10 ton agree with me when I say that a 10 ton is better to look at and talk about than to drive. They are no fun to drive...trust me...overwidth...non-synchro gears...42 mph top speed and very...

The Castrol oil you mention is perfectly fine. Asking guys about oil is like asking guys about truck manufacturers...Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge. If you like one, that is the only way to go. I like Rotella as much as the next guy, but I've also had great service from Mobil Delvac and Valvoline...

Ken, thanks for pointing these differences some out. Some I knew about...others I had no idea about.
