All us old crippled up folks don't drive VOLVO WAGONS. John

Well on 2/11/11 I won a M1031-AG010 shop maintanance contact truck. The E.U.C. cleared in about two weeks, & since it was fairly close to home, I figured I'd just drive up to w.p.a.f.b. & haul it home on my car trailor. I've got a 82 gmc civi long fleet 4x4 D.D. that I've had forever & pulled...

This was an old old post... but I'm sure I have a set out in the shop. p.m. me if interested. John

If you have a drain plug in your tran.s pan, just drain some out......If you don't... just take out the modulator.... it's only one bolt, but Prepair to get red.... seems like I always do. :-) John

I bought two from G.L. for $150 each. The shipping cans they came in were 540 lbs each & worth more than that. I plan on making a woodstove for my shop out of one & an engine test-running stand out of the other. :beer: John

Am i still a F.N.G.? or do I have to wait till I've pointed out the FREE downloads of the T.M.s to other newbies??. rofl John

Yep.... I'm 53.. 5'6" & I'm still hoping for that growing spurt that will let me join the NBA. rofl (G.L. also charges a 10% buyers premium & you have to pay state sales tax in whatever state the auction is in) I just won one a few weeks ago for $2503.... after G.L.s fees & Ohio 6 1/2 %...

Looks pretty clean from here. [thumbzup] John

I got my E.U.C cleared for my M1031 in 15 days. Time for a little roadtrip with the car trailor sometime early in the week. It's only 228 miles but I'll trailor that rascal anyway. I don't much care for surprises. My name is John... & I have a "green iron" addiction. :beer:

COOOOOOOL.... just like dads. They grow up fast. At that age they want to do everthing they're super-hero dad does. Make a point to spend some time with him now cause he's working on memories that he'll have when he's my age. (in my 50's) John :D

THANK YOU...... much appreciated. :roll: argueing over the internet is kinda like wrestling with a pig..petty soon you're out of breath, covered in mud & find out the pig really enjoys it. You'll have to get you're entertainment elseware. John

I want one of those in the worst way. I don't have a single use for one, but I NEED one bad. I have a 69 c-30 that I've had for 13 years, & I absolutely love it.... but I NEED an 816. :p John (nice bridgport too.. I was a toolmaker all my life)

Its not just cucvs.. it's old trucks in general. Better get used to it, but at least they don't come with a big fat payment book. [thumbzup] John

Yep.. it sure is.. but I'll haul it home on a car trailor anyway, & it'll give me the chance to inspect & go thru everything before I even try & drive down my driveway in it. My trucks hardly ever konk out on the side of the road. I don't text ,tweet, twitter or any of that stuff, heck I don't...

I don't spell so pretty good all of the time either, but I'm 53 & feel that it is extreemly rude for some english teacher to correct me (ESPECIALLY ON A WORLD WIDE PUBLIC FOURUM). PLEASE don't do that. This is an informal, information gathering fourum where like minded individuals can ask for...

I KNOW... It must be how those crack addicts feel.... GOTTA HAVE THOSE GREEN TRUCKS!! This site is a wealth of information. I'll learn something about how these things work yet.:idea: THANK YOU John

If they have generators installed in them, GL ussually states it in their ad. Some of them have been scavanged out of them before they reach GL & most of the GL representatives don't really seem to be overly knowlegable about the trucks that they're selling, but all M1031s came with a np205 t/c...

Yes .. I think sortof.... meening they all came with a np205 t/c (for the pto abuility) & dana 60 limited slip in the front & 14 blt. corp. with det. lockers in the rear. The 1031 came from the general as cab & chasis trucks & the army put shelters on them to fit their application. This is a...
