After waiting since the end of April when I purchased my M1081 to get the title, J Wade made it happen a few weeks ago. Major Thanks To Him! Today, I went to the tag agency to transfer the Florida title from GP to me. The lady who waited on me was trying very hard to make everything work as...

I have to stop & thank Floridianson for donating a set of 2-395x20 Goodyear LMTV tires, rims & CTIS gear to me for a spare in case I have a flat. He even delivered them to my hide a away next to the swamp. Gotta give him credit for even finding the place; Fed Ex can't! Thanks again

Re: Optima Battery Woes I got an unpleasant surprise a few days ago. Preparing to take the Deuce to work, when turning on the main power switch....no air buzzer & the Ebrake lite was very dim, plus the voltage gauge was very low. It was then that I notice that the lighting switch was on to...

Have any of you guys have had issues getting your Florida title for your LMTV's? I won my truck on 20 April 2016, had it delivered 27 April 2016. I applied for the title on 23 May 2016 not understanding the total process that you have to fill out the paperwork & fax it into GP after the sale. I...

What is the finned connection under the hydraulic cab lock that the alternator cable leads go to & the cables come from the battery? There are several posts that the leads are all bolted to. The reason I ask is that the truck I have had the 24v lead come loose @ some time & it wore the threads...

Re: Air pressure on the brakes of an M1081! I can't build air pressure past 60 psi in the rear brakes & the front brakes gage is not registering any air pressure. The front brakes work well, but the rear brakes won't release anymore due to low air pressure. Since I can't wrap my mind around...

I took delivery of the LMTV that I won out of Ft Bragg a few weeks ago. She showed up on the trailer this morning @ work @ 06:30 & was offloaded in 15 minutes. Here are a few pictures of what she looks like. During lunch I took her home & she is parked along with the rest of the guy things...

Guys, I am looking to buy the LMTV that I have always wanted. Its a private sale, not from auction & the truck has been painted & gone thru as you will see from the pictures. Your thoughts?

I have a MEP-701A genset I got from a fellow member last summer. The battery finally quit cranking it last weekend, so I placed an order with NAPA for a new one. They just called & said it was in so I can go pick it up! When I inquired about the final price................I almost dropped the...

I am going to go look @ an M-1102 Trailer with a S-250 Communications Shelter in it. Pricing on the unit is unknown, so what would be a ballpark figure to work with on this setup with the Shelter stripped out? All I am looking for is an idea of what to deal with in low - high prices to go from...

This is an odd one here, the truck is a 1987 Air Force truck that when I got it, had the removable screen in the tank fill neck, totally gummed up with varnish. It would not allow any fuel to go thru it, so I soaked it in acetone & washed the varnish off with a water hose. Now it is all nice &...

I have one crate of tent parts @ the GL site @ Eglin that needs to be picked up in the next week or so & either held for pickup or arrange to be delivered some where close to Gainesville, FL by someone passing thru this way. If anybody can help me with this, I am willing to reimburse them for...

Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C Well, you hear the horror stories where guys crank up the trucks & head for the open road, only to find that there are no brakes when the pedal hits the floor @ the first stop sign they come to. Today, I took the Deuce to work to drop off a few...

Re: Weights of items on GL Funny thing (not really) happened on the way to work today. I went by the GL office (60 miles one way) to pick up 6 items that were listed @ 150# each, so a small single axle (50" x 96") trailer is what I took for the load out. When the items were being loaded, the...

It seems I have a problem with my latest auction from GL out of Groveport. The auction was for new Marine ILCE main packs with belts & nothing else; when mine arrived here in Florida, there were no belts, just packs. I called GL @ Groveport & they said to open all the boxes to see if they might...

Did anybody win an auction yesterday from GL & not get the customary next morning notification in their email? This the first lack of notification I have ever had happen. I can't schedule a pickup without the paperwork that should have shown up today either...

Re: Trailer Recovery from Jacksonville I'm headed to North Jacksonville to pickup one of those air launched missile trailers with my Deuce that they are selling on GovPlanet. Should be interesting as I have never been there before & the GovPlanet folks wouldn't give me the contact info for the...

Re: Inspection @ WRAFB in Georgia Are there any members still able to do inspections @ Robins AFB in Georgia? There is a truck that I have a few questions about & can't get there to do the inspection myself.

Has anybody here tried installing the armored cab light that has been floating around for sale lately? I picked up a box lot of them & there is no female connection to adapt to the plug that comes on the unit. Also, it has a SPST relay wired into it for whatever the original purpose required...

A fellow SS member has been tasked with recovering a 1982 M35a2 to central Florida for the new owner. I posted pictures of it last year when I was looking @ it to buy. The problem arose when it was transferred from Ft McCoy to Summerfield, it started leaking what seemed to be engine oil out of...
