Hello, I bought 2 m818 tractors in Camp Shelby and I'm having them picked up Aug. 18th in the morning. One runs, and the other has dead batteries. I was wondering if someone has a slave cable, or jumper cables to help jump start the truck with dead batteries. I called the GL Rep. today and they...

I just finished my bobbed M35a3, and I love it! I put 48in tires on the truck. The truck drives 55 mph at 1900 rpm, and 65 at 2400 rpm. I'm also getting 16 mpg driving 55 mph. With the larger tires I was able to lower the rpm's so the longevity of the engine will not be an issue. The Cat 3116 is...

When most people claim to have $4000 into a truck they fix the minor issues so they don’t have to take a loss. We all know you bought the truck last Aug.-Sept. when they were only going for $900-$1800 in Ky. ( I’m not saying you have not spent money else where on the truck) I remember your old...

My name has no relevance in this situation. I’m pointing out a little time, and he can get his 4K. There common problems, easily repairable. When most people sell trucks for 4K they fix the problems. When people see a list of issues it turns them off, because they assume it’s a problem truck...

This is a very useless post! You are fishing to find more potential buyers. There's a classified section for this reason. You should of spent a few hours and fixed the issues on the truck. Did you try to adjust the voltage regulator? Did you try to tighten the hose clamps on the coolant...

I went to Ted's house today for some parts. He's very reasonable with his prices. Thanks Ted!

I bought a 1990 Bluebird school bus that has a 5.9 cummins with a Allison transmission. I am putting it in a shortened M35. You can get a school bus around $1000 to $4000 dollars. That would be a great driveline for a M1008. The only thing that you would need is a divorced t-case out of an older...

Really? Are you the spokes person for Steel Soldiers? I thought this was a public form to give information about military trucks.:-D

Ok thats fine, I will just keep to myself with new information I get. You should get your crystal ball checked out, It's not that accurate.:-P

You are 100% right, but the replacement trucks are not coming fast enough. Just like in most states there are no m35 series trucks left in service for the national guards. I know MI, and OH paid a contractor to round up all the m35 series trucks from the national guards.

One of my best friends is friends with the principal engineer for AM General. The government extended the parts program with AM General for the 800 series till 2036. They are going to put 800 series back in service, I don't know if thats active duty, or national guards. Plain and simple they do...

My friend is tax exempt in VA, and he gets free diesel from is work. The total bill was $7,482. I said the cheapest truck I sold was $7,500. I really enjoy this web site, and I have been on here for years, I had to make a new account I forgot my password to my old account. I have made a lot of...

I was not trying to be offensive, You must have took it the wrong way. I am not comparing my self to you. I really don't care what you own, or your trucks are worth more that what I made this year, because you really don't know how much I made, or what I own. I was just implying that you were...

I have a friend that bought the m818 out of VA. He wanted it bad, we are going to shorten it and put 48in tires on it. He already bought one 06 depot rebuild off me this year. You guys don't under stand it's a wave with the prices, I have been buying from GL since 03 and you see a pattern with...

It looks like a great truck!
