I bet they are inspecting the guages for radiation- that seems to be the fuss behind the latest demil change.

I would bet any guages with tritium get stripped out before they are released.

Both of the trucks I received invoices for yesterday are on the list. And I just made arrangements for BOTH trucks to be picked up, including an airline ticket and temporary plate for one!

WTF?????

This pretty much guarantees the end of my dealing with GL.

Which gauges have tritium in them? If they take all the gauges out its going to cost a freakin arm, leg, and left testicle to replace.

So will they replace the guages, or just pull them out and void your sale when you complain that "hey my truck has no instrument panel in it"?

Yeah mine was sold with gauges.

If they rape my truck, I'm getting a lawyer.

If they pull parts, they can keep my trucks. It will make them undrivable and the only way I can afford to get my Kentucky truck home is to drive it.

I'm on the phone with GL right now...on hold, big surprise. One of my recoveries is scheduled for 9am Monday morning, and that site is closed for the day, so I can't call to find out whats up. I used the number in the e-mail, we'll see if they can actually tell me something.

I seriously doubt they're going to replace anything. Will GL do a partial refund if enough people make noise about this or will they just void the sales and relist?

I really do not think that this is a GL driven issue. Not that I go around deffending GL.

I'm sure putting this memo out on friday after they are closed was planned.
