Anything is possible but, DRMS explores all options for each truck prior to releasing them to GL for public sale.

NHDiesel's truck had a load card in the glove box that was dated 2005. It is very possible that that was the last service that truck saw and it sat with DRMS for 4 years before being released for public sale. During that time period it would have been offered to municipalities, fire departments, airports, state government and FMS. If nobody wants it after a while it goes to GL. So there is really no reason for trucks released to GL to be recalled for FMS.

I picked my truck up from Knox a couple weeks ago. I talked to the guy who was manning the DRMO office (right next to GL). He told me that my truck was slated to ship to Bolivia but, since some type of trade embargo was just placed on Bolivia my truck was transferred over to the GL for auction. Has anybody discussed or considered whether or not all the SF97's for the held trucks will be on hold as well? Anybody know why the thousands and thousands of Deuces the GL has sold up to now would be any less radioactive than the ones on the hold list??

As some anecdotal evidence, my '69 Kaiser/Jeep M35A2 has no radioactive instruments at all. I have a feeling that is true for most M35A2's.

To my mind radioactive instruments don't make a lot of sense in a deuce. It isn't a vehicle that operates really well in the stealth environment of silence and total darkness that are the radium dial's forte.

Unlike a watch, clock, compass, or radio, you don't just sit in the dark and stare at the instruments of a deuce while it is turned off and waiting for action. While it is running, you have some nice night vision safe red dial illumination.

There could be some advantage in having a radium lit start button, engine stop knob, and radium lit accessory switches. They don't happen to be on my deuce, but maybe it was fashionable on some deuces?

Congrats WyoDeuce .

The truck has a sticker that says no radioactive material is present but the sticker has been on the truck for a while. (faded in sun) I don't know why the truck would need inspection again. Mabey they aren't telling us everything. (or anything at all)
Could you tell me where the sticker was on the truck? I am looking at the GL photos of my truck. Could you also post a close up photo of the Speedo and Tac? Thanks for the help.

I just talked to Brandon with GL in Columbus (DSCC) about 20 minutes ago. He didn't have any specifics about the hold but did say that the gauges were "one of the things" that contributed to the present hold. I wasn't able to get any additional info. He also told me to call GL customer service to find out if the 60 day window for EUC approval is on hold.

Well considering that EUCs are still being processed and trucks still being picked up I think the best thing for all of us to do is to sit back and let things roll. I am going to go on acting as if I did not even get that email from GL. When my EUC comes in I will schedule my pickup and go get my trucks.

It appears that the hold is only applying to unsold trucks.

I also received my EUCs and "Paid in Fulls" on a Deuce and 2 MKTs today!

I will have to see how the pick up of the Deuce goes this coming week.
