    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    Aint that right, and its not just insurance, seems like everything I do has more to do with the luck of who answers the phone then it does with anything else. Just the other day I called to have Charter cable internet ran to my bunker location and the representative on the phone said they do not...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    I finally got my insurance card!!!!! I got it on the 3rd so I was able to drive around for the 4th! Thanks to all the help and the tip about Gulfway was great, they were amazing, took care of me fast and easy and even apologized that it was taking so long. Took about 6 business days to get it...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    I contacted Gulfway last Friday, received a form in my email almost immediately. I filled it out, scanned it and emailed it back Friday night. They emailed me the following Wednesday and apologized that it was taking so long but they were dealing with hurricane Debbie. They then quoted me $190 a...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    Nope, I got 3 houses, 1 truck and half my business uninsured right now, all my other policies are up for renewal in a week. Apparently the agents around here have too much business and don't want or need mine. If it takes more than 9 weeks to get quotes and policies then I can only imagine what...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    Uh, yea, thats exactly the point I was making, none of them have a "VIN" and I aint the first guy to buy one, especially in this area since they sale 5 to 10 a week here, so why are these agents so clueless! Right now I am giving one more agent the chance to earn my total insurance business...

    Oh yea, another problem the agents have is it has no VIN number, the ID number on the data plate does not "fit" into the computers idea of what a VIN number is supposed to be so it kicks it out. The weight and number of axles and lack of VIN is why most agents wont even try.

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    Back when I was under 25 it cost me over $1,200 a year to drive a ford ranger even with a good record and no claims and that was over a decade ago.

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    According to the agent the theft issue is not about the value of the vehicle, its about the amount of liability damage that could be done by the thief with that large of a vehicle. This is also why she says no insurance company will touch it. This agent says that if the truck is stolen out of my...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    JC Taylor gave me a great quote too, $75 a year for full coverage, then it changed to $80 a year, the agent had to mail in all the forms since they do not accept faxes, around 2 weeks later they mailed the forms along with a check back to me and said it had to be kept in a locked garage and it...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    Oh and the Farmers agent who has been trying the hardest to find me insurance says that anyone who says they have one of those things insured with State Farm or Allstate or Progressive or Geico is a liar, her words not mine. I told her about the threads and info here and she said there is no way...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    Apparently there is a big difference between a duece and a 5 ton when it comes to insurance. I have contacted and begged and pleaded with State Farm, Allstate, Geico, Progressive, Farmers, and a few other independent agents. All of them flat refuse to insure a M925. BTW I have a perfect driving...

    8 weeks and still no insurance!

    I have been trying to get liability insurance for my new 5 ton M925 for over 8 weeks now. Apparently no insurance agent in the Huntsville area has any experience with military vehicles. Most just say no they can't do it immediately, the few that say they can do it mess with me for a few weeks...

    5 Ton GL Title?

    I got one for my M925 a few weeks ago, it looks like and Arizona title and looks to have the right ID number and mileage on it. It does not have any info about the auction or the price on it.

    My 925 5-ton 6x6 will not shift into high range

    Found and fixed the problem, turns out it was stripped gear teeth inside the T-case. I paid a local mechanic to remove and disassemble the transfer case and he found the teeth stripped on the high low shifter gear thingy pictured below. He flipped the assembly over and cleaned up the edge of the...
