I get Interstate 6TLs for $90 apiece...brand new. I know a guy who owns a local garage and he sells them to me for his cost. Otherwise, I'd be spending $160 or so per battery. For $90 each brand new, I stick with the 6TLs.

I tend to use 15W40 Rotella, too, but I've also used Valvoline and Mobil Delvac. My suggestion...use whatever name brand oil you can find on sale. I used to buy Valvoline in 5 gallon pails because it was the cheapest. I've been using Rotella because CostCo carries it now. Before that, they...

I agree with everyone, but it seems the military does this, too, for whatever reasons. I saw some trucks on a train...freshly painted...with markings on them. I also saw a brand new Bradley with markings written on it with that white chalk. I don't think the DRMO will stop this (I don't think...

There is nothing you can do about this. This is why I often don't put cargo covers on my trucks and, if I do, they stay on. I have found that the paint wears better if it has been on the truck a while (i.e., it is not fresh). If you don't want it scuffed, take the cover off.

RE: Re: RE: New Deuce owner I LOVE the older 4 color camo pattern with the field drab. Your truck looks great! Good luck...

I used to think you could tell the early trucks from the later M809 series trucks by the grill. You SHOULD be able to, but many have had their grills replaced/updated with the later grills.

Don: Make sure you check the tranny for water. I can almost guarantee there is water in the transmission if it has been sitting without a cab top for a while. Water won't hurt anything if it has only been in there for a bit...but I would not want to leave it there for years. I just drained a...

For what its worth, the tubular grill on the M809 series of trucks is the early grill.

RE: Re: RE: FNG Reporting! HAMMER: I suggest you try to get a deuce while the gettins' good. They will not be in the system forever. While no one really knows when the flow will stop, I've heard grumblings about all of the M35s and it variants being out of the system a year from now. As...

Thanks Kenny, but I'm looking for the J pipe and exhaust stack for an M809 series truck.

I saw this same thing happen. Why put things on your watch list if you can't see what they went for?

Does anyone have any or know where I can find two of each NOS? Thanks!

I believe John Murray is a member of this list...at least I think Mike (mangus) was getting him set up.

Your truck is currently painted 3 color camo. The colors are: 383 Green, 383 Black and 383 Brown. Mark Dodd, at RAPCO in TX, sells the Gillespie CARC-like paint in gallons and in spray cans. There is also a supplier that sells actual CARC in spray cans called MISPRAY, but the paint is fairly...

RE: Re: RE: demil That T72 was going for $35K US. It probably would be a bit higher now with the unfavorable exchange rate (from the US perspective). I am sure shipping would not have been cheap to get it to the US. I would also have had to have had the gun demilled to ATF standards. I even...

I believe it is legal to own a tank with an operational main gun in the UK. I was talking to a guy a while back that had a fully operational T72 that had come through an overhaul and had 250km on it. The main weapon was LIVE! He told me it was legal in the UK. I don't know the laws over...

My thought is that I'd rather not have to be in a position to be fighting for the last M543A2 or M123A1C that is coming out. By the way, the 10 ton stayed cheaper than I thought, but it went higher than I've seen for the last two that came out a couple of years ago. This is what I'm trying to...

One answer...weekend warriors. If you thought rental cars were driven hard, what do you think an 18 year old kid does when he gets in one a weekend per month.

Mike, I would not plan on it. If you or anyone else wants a deuce, now is the time...or buy retail. I, for one, will DEFINITELY be looking for a really clean deuce this year. Take that for what it is worth. If you want to try to bid on the 1's and 2's that may happen to trickle out in the...

By the way, great score on that trailer. Now you need to get the end rack from Ethan (BUILDER77) to complete the trailer. Sometimes they go high...sometimes they stay low. I've bought trailers for $70, $80 and $90...beautiful trailers. I was watching yesterday and most in PA were over $200.
