    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    So hypothetically I'm bidding on a truck and have a prebid in that is winning. The auction is supposed to take place today. The bid is a substantial portion of my entire operating capital. The auction date is subsequently pushed out literally MONTHS! Am I still accountable for my bid? My bid...

    Striking hardened Steel on hardened Steel is a bad idea.

    While working on flipping deuce hubs I was removing the wheelstuds by means of tapping them out. To ensure I didn't hit one off center, I placed a 3lb sledge on the stud and then struck the sledge with another hammer. I knew this was a bad idea but did it anyway. I felt an impact on my left...

    Hub flip

    I notice the inner wheel bearings are wider than the outer ones. During a hub flip do the bearing or races get switched around? I see no mention of it in the instructions. My best guess says no, but I want to be certain. Thanks

    Same truck sells and then is relisted week after week

    I watched as the same truck was listed and sold three weeks in a row on GP. I now see it happening again with another truck. Item number changes, but serial number and miles/hours as well as pics clearly show that it's the same truck. Trucks sell on Wednesday and then the truck shows back up...

    Fuel Leak - M923 with NH250

    Inexplicable fuel leak between the two halves of this piece. I was thinking the O ring wasn't properly seated. I cleaned and reassembled it, ensuring that the O ring properly seated. Upon starting the truck the leak was back in full force, spraying. I almost think there should be a gasket...

    Flat Towed an M35A2 from Davis Monthan to Phoenix

    Yesterday was an eventful day. Shakedown drive of my most recently acquired M925. A fellow SS member got a truck at auction and needed it delivered to PHX. I got up and pretripped my truck and went and picked it up. The GP guy was good to deal with and we had the towbars connected in a very...
