    EUCs and our money

    Another thought: Does ANYONE have ANY insight into how and why there is no EUC required on trucks bought from the other Federal assets liquidation company? Is it because GSA does not sell armed or armored vehicles? Is it that GL has a broad "direct from the military" contract to sell whatever...

    EUCs and our money

    Given the situation, if GL went back to collecting our money upon passing the EUC, I would be moderately less dis-satisfied with the arrangement! Of course, if GL did that, the EUC wait would become their worry and expense then, wouldn't it? Now that I wrote the above and read it, I have a...

    Looking at a Deuce.......and would like some help.

    Sephirothq has the best recommendation for configuration. Another would be to keep the tool box under the driver door for tools and chocks and to locate the house batteries in the house, with a quick disconnect for the charging cables. That way your won't be hauling house batteries when there is...

    Check this GamaGoat travesty

    I have spent decades putting together trucks that were unwanted, incomplete or neglected, both for the challenge and so that I could have cheep wheels. Crushing these worthy vehicles goes against everything I have come to value. It hurts to see all the potential destroyed. Rick

    Richmond, VA: Take a look at a deuce for me?

    Anybody going to Richmond and willing to take a moment to look over a newly purchased deuce Lot# 5862 from Event# 5237 for me? If you could look it over and let me know what it looks like, especially under the hood, I would appreciate the info very much. Thank you, Rick

    I bought one!

    There's galling when two parts rub and trade some surface metal. Then there's this example. The outer race appears to have past the point of galling, into the realm of fusing. The coloration and mis-shape are indicators. Any of you guys familiar with that process (used on automotive...

    I bought one!

    Looks to me the outer bearing inner race most likely spun on the spindle before seizing, making it highly likely you will need to replace the spindle. Call George at White Owl for the price on a new spindle, I think you will find it's not gonna be too expensive to replace. He has the bearings...

    Has anyone installed a roof a/c unit?

    I am interested in this as well. The last time I checked, the Webasto military units (integral 24v roof mounted) was $3850 before tax and shipping. :roll: That price eases the suffering. Rick

    "Do not park in gear"

    Happened to me also in a 416 on a failed hill climb. It spat smoke out the air filter snorkle and scared the heck outa me. I thought I ruined it. Rick

    Scrapping the M108?? Am I Crazy?

    Kenny, Adding a k-boom to a cargo truck is a project. Do you look forward to a project like that? If selling the M108 and reducing your inventory pleases you, AND if the k-boom project gives you juice, then I say do it. As for the physical progression with age, I recommend a low impact...
