New, looking for some basic info

[g2065g]

Jut thought i'd say hello. I am sure I will mainly be lurking just looking for info for the most part. If I decide to go ahead and get into a 2 1/2 or 5 ton I'll probably post quite a bit more. Mainly here looking for info on parts availability, maintenance costs and that type of stuff. I'm sure it's all been posted and I'll be sure to use search often before asking any questions. Looks like a nice forum from what I have seen so far.

Welcome to SS . Here is a couple threads to start you off .
cost of ownership (the real cost of a deuce)
So you want a Mil Truck, here is what they cost.

Also when you decide on what you want be sure to download the operators technical manual for the truck you are looking at these end with -10 in the number

And be sure to read this thread Insurance as you will need insurance and should line it up before buying .
