Hi all, my first post.

The gauges are the problem. Radium-226 was used on the faces and pointers on some of the older gauges. It was also used on older luminous dial watches.

The gov't is working on a fix.

An easy way to tell if your gauges or watches contain a radium emitter, is to place it in a closed container out of the sun for a day or two. If it still glows in the dark, it contains Ra226. Also, a radiac meter will work, but most of us don't have access to one.

Go Army!

I am sorry. I will not ref. auctions again.
I was under the impression that it met the guidelines as we are trying to determine if the speedos are the problem or not. Again i am sorry and will not do this again.

I just got word from Govliquidation that both my EUC's were cleared today and I now have a paid in full invoice but my trucks are on the hold list. No word about when it will be resolved. Any ideas how long it will take to release the trucks on hold?

What site is holding them?

As far as anybody can tell there is no end in site for the hold. They have to physically inspect 474 trucks.

I know that if I used the search function that my above post has been covered in the past, But if we all did that this would be an Archive, not a Forum.

I have 2 in Frankfort Ky, and one in San Antonio.

My truck is on the list. My EUC came through after the Hold. Went and picked it up yesterday. No questions asked.

Marcus is allowing pickups at Frankfort with paid in full invoices still. Another fellow there Jay kept on asking me if I had my paid in full invoice. I got the impression they want these trucks off the base ASAP. I know the MPs want them gone....

I was under the impression that as long as you have the invoice, you can pick up your truck. Keep in mind the 14-day limit...I was told that still applies.

I did get my paid in full invoice a couple of days ago. I called the govliquidation office in San Antonio where one of my trucks is. They said to me, "Bring your paid in full invoice and come get your truck" I asked about the "Hold" they said "we have an open door policy, just bring your paid invoice and come get your truck". I also have 2 trucks in Frankfort, KY. I tried calling that office but just got and answering machine and they have not returned my call yet.
