Some quick pics... gotta go wash it and get all the GL stickers off of it. Probably get some carc and redo a few spots too.

Picked it up today. Truck runs great, only issue was the start switch has dirty contacts (works fine after a few uses) and the wiper switch had an air leak. Fixed that, pulled the cargo cover and bows, checked everything out and drove it 175 miles home. Had 3/4 of a tank of fuel when I picked it...

I have said over and over again that I would only be towing it off base this way if I had to. Please read before responding.

Arizona does 3 day trip permits for $1. Insurance guy already got me handled even though my liability policy covers anything I drive. Just waiting on the actual VIN. Once again I will state that flat towing would be just to get it off base if they didn't allow drive off, moot point now. I...

I should be more clear, flat towing would only be at 5 mph to get it off base, then I would just fix it. I've rebuilt transmissions on tailgates to finish the Baja 1000, no reason I couldn't repair what was needed to make it road worthy before driving home unless it's terminal. Worst case...

I've already read the TMs but I will go over them again before picking it up. I gotta go get it before I head to San Felipe on Thursday, so timing is tight. Sucks, my buddy at Fort Bliss has been giving tow bars away beginning the first of this year. I think they are all gone but I would have...

I have insurance for my business that covers anything I drive plus my regular auto insurance which covers my other vehicles. I will check everything out on the truck before it's driven, no worries there. I am also bringing a expert on these who spent years fixing them in Iraq. My Dodge will drag...

It takes that long huh? I was worried I did it wrong. I'd rather drive it off but if not I'll have to build a quick tow bar and drag it behind my Dodge. Anyone local to Barstow/Daggett that wants to help?

Oops, didn't mean to post here.

http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=7242263 I just won this M923A1, gotta go get it and drive it back to AZ here (Two hours from here) How long does it take to get an invoice so I can pay for it? Any tips or pointers for a first timer?

I'll find the motor I pulled from the last H1 and look... I'm not super familiar with the 6.2/6.5s. By the way, they drive much better with Duramax engines in them!

After reviewing threads on fitting Group 31 batteries and comparing costs you are a lot better off with 31s unless for some reason you want to keep it 100% stock looking (even though you can not see the batteries after install) Flooded/MF Group 31 $75-$105 AGM Group 31 $200-$300 Flooded 6TN...

Hundy only has one truck right now and it's a 5ton. He wants to concentrate on tires and other things. I would check Craigslist and watch the Classified here. I watched GL for a long time thinking about getting a truck.... 3 years later I've decided I want one and I am amazed at how the prices...

6TL = Group 6 non maintenance free (has water levels you can check) 6TMF = Maintenance free, still is a standard flooded battery but does not need the water level checked (may not be accessible either) 6T-AGM = Absorbed glass mat battery, no water to fill or check. More vibration resistant. The...

If you wire the injection pump solenoid open it will continue to run even if the batteries go dead. I keep a zip tie in my Cummins just incase I have an issue and need to get home.
