Hello again everyone, I have a small problem. I went outside this morning and started my M35a2 up and moved it a few feet to clear my shop door. It started right up and ran perfectly. I moved it and shut it down just like normal. Later on, I get in it to move it back to where it was and it will...

Out of the four trucks I have bought here recently, one has a hard top, one a soft top, and two with no tops. I do have several soft tops though. I might have to make another run out to CSMDavis' place again and pick up a few more hard tops if I cant find them locally. I just hate the long...

No, Unfortunately I do not have any pictures. I do know that the problem on mine is that the block with the pop off valve screwed into it right before the first air tank is snapped off. An extractor set and an assortment of pipe nipples should get you out of just about any trouble. Every one of...

The batteries should get you home as long as you run driving lights only. No headlights. One other thing you should know about Hooks' trucks. Since your truck is listed as not running it was most likely handled with a large forklift to move it around. In turn, you may have mild to moderate air...

Good to hear that you got them back okay. Looks like you got two solid trucks as well.

I have one. Where are you going to be doing the towing? I happen to have several trucks that would be capable for such a job also.

Hello, I seem to be having trouble with the tachometer/speedometer on my newly acquired M915. When I first got the truck, the tachometer/speedometer was disconnected. Now that Ive reconnected it, the speedometer needle will jump from zero to 30mph and then back down to zero about every three...

Get ready. Income tax return time is coming. There will be some unusually high prices show up soon.

Heres some of the 14.00R20 trucks my business has put out over the last year. My best advice is when you go with 14.00's. Go with either the Goodyear AT-2s or the Michelin XZL's. The Michelin XL tires are prone to heat buildup and catastrophic failure when ran at or below 50% tread. Ask me how...

I know the feeling with the forklift damage. We just brought back 3 M923s from hooks. All of them have the same damage that you described, Plus one had a bent fuel tank bracket. Its the DRMO forklift operators that are usually to blame. They don't believe in careful handling. I'm just glad they...

There are several one way check valves in your air tank system. I had one stick closed on my 923 a while ago. It was the one that fed the emergency/spring brake system tank under the driver side door. The truck would build air, but the spring brakes would not unlock and the spring brake override...

I picked up a nice running M925 up there on July 2nd. I drove it home (405 miles) without a single hitch. I got a chance to peek around at some of the trucks that sold last week. They were very nice. Most seemed to be recent rebuilds and repowers. Ive got two other trucks to go pick up in...

Or if they recognize your name on the invoice.

Yea they do the Friday's. Thats my usual pickup day there. Call them now to get a slot on their shedule.

I know the feeling seeing something that you get attached to drive away with someone else at the wheel. I sold both of my deuces and somehow ended up with 3 M939 series trucks and Ive never looked back since. They are a great improvement over the deuces, plus I know that one of my deuces went to...

Lol As the saying goes....That would be way above our pay grade.8-)

Nope, When you see the mixed metal scrap lots on GL in Oklahoma, that's what every piece the truck end up looking like. Just small enough to fit into a self dumping hopper.

Sadly, That operation is minute in comparison to what we have going on. When the government gets ready to throw money away, they go big.

I believe the reason some of the nice items such as S-280 ,S250 shelters and other nice surplus equipment get the axe at my DRMO is because of the same type of lazy person. They dont want to deal with selling it as is so they just say scrap it all. Its easier to load 10 shelters into a roll off...

I dont actually work at the yard, but I do have to drive by it EVERY DAY. I have a soft spot for the 939s and it just kills me to see whats going on there. I would love to have some of the accessories off these trucks, mainly winches, but they get pinched up by a giant shear just like the rest...
