Other than sending it back have you heard anything more from GL about what will be done with your truck or if after they have a chance to look at it you will be getting it back?
Talked with:
Mr Kenneth Satchfield, AKZ Item Manager of NSN 4940000771638, Tel (586) 574-8614, Email: KENNETH.SATCHFIELD@US.ARMY.MIL

No real reason was given other that radioactive gauges. My truck is an M185A3 Instrument Repair Shop Van. I thought the gauges were in the van, but after reading this thread, I'm not sure.
I'll wait awhile to see how things shake out. However, I am prepared to send the truck back, as I have no other choice.
It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Same story I got from the GL rep at Holloman AFB here in NM.

I spoke with him today and scheduled a pickup... no problem.

I just spoke with GL in AZ and they said that if you have an approved EUC in hand you can pick up the truck. But that is subject to change if they are told otherwise.
The 14 day window still applies, Processing EUCs on said trucks has been put on hold until the inspections are done. They do not know if the 60 day window still applies at this point, they will address that issue as 60 day windows approach.

What is the 60 day window? My first EUC is "sent to Battle Creek", and they told me it would take 45 days.
Auction date of 9-17-09, Award date 9-18-09, EUC sent to Battle Creek 9-23-09. When does the 45 days or 60 start? I am at 46 days from the date of auction. Yes mine is on the list to hold.
