    Am I asking for too much?

    I read the ad before I read the posts and I had come up with the same pricing. $5000.00 low $6200.00 high

    Driving ?

    Ignore all the previous posts. I, along with my #1 driving coach assistant, Mr. Jim Beam, will have you driving like a professional stunt driver in 60 minutes or less. Mailboxes, picket fences and slow pedestrians are no match for the skills that will develop in your mind as the lesson goes...

    ldt-465-1d & transmission weight????

    That is a good point of view for the cost of transport. $500.00 for a good used engine alone would have been a deal. Money well spent.

    M35A2 Oil change

    I'm going to do a little shill work here and expound upon the simplicity of the spin on filter adapters. Fewer parts to lose, quicker pressure and the ease of filter replacement. I got mine from JT.

    Recovery? Lost...... or Stolen from Ft. Indiantown Gap PA.

    Most likely to happen. GL cancels your Privilege to buy from them. Just like any big retailer an unsatisfied cutomer is just a minor percentage point to be dealt with in a way that best benefits the company. You complain, I give you a refund, now go away. TV news crew? Ha! I laugh in your face...

    Payment to GL

    Once you have put your card on file with GL there is no option. If you are the high bidder your card will be charged that evening. No time for "buyers remorse" to develop without having to pay a penalty.

    New Florida Title Process?

    Yeah, the additional paper is normal. Just like a new puppy, your "new" truck will require a little more paper and money than you thought.

    Which tag in FL?

    Myself I just get the regular tags because there is no question about how I use my trucks. It is worth it to me to be able just to get in and drive and do whatever I so desire without having a LEO problem. Freedom comes at a price and in this case it is $153.65 per year. 1 citation, 1 court date...

    GL questions on a Deuce purchase

    Locating a large commercial parking lot nearby I.E. Wal-Mart gives you a close staging area with the ability to buy some supplies and even make minor repairs. It is also a good place to wait until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning to make the trip home at a low safe speed when traffic is at the...

    attempted theft

    A badly broken steering wheel is an amateur attempt at theft. Kids or an idiot. Small $20 bolt cutters cut the spoke or ring where the chain is with minimal damage and the chain just falls away. No need to fight with case hardened links or locks. A remote fuel & electrical shut off is best.

    What do you think of this Deuce? (pictures and starting video)

    Make an offer 2000 - 2200 Who knows it may fly. But if you are wanting a more tactical truck expect to pay 1000 more.

    50/50 mix of used motor oil & E85 in the Deuce?

    Alchohol in driver = bad things happen. Alchohol in old trucks = same results.

    GL is extremely helpful when it comes to preview.

    GL works with limited staff, blame that on upper management. This is an auction operation, not a retail brick & mortar store. You may well be a real buyer but, how do they seperate you from the tire kickers? And exceptions are made for the true volume buyers, not for the penny ante players such...

    New Deuce

    3500 appears to be a good deal. You got the title in hand & it's a driver w/ goodies, you done your homework, now enjoy the dividends.

    My deuce was shipped back from Kuwait?

    I have a truck that has the same shipping label--- Kuwait to Ft. Dix. I got it at a Richmond Va. auction last year.

    New Deuce

    Do ya really think you will be able to hear the radio??roflBuying from a private party does eliminate alot of the "mystery prize package" that you can get from GL. Did you get a Florida title with it ? Was it an ebay or classified buy? Ah, at a closer look I see it has a muffler added. I don't...

    Going to look at a Deuce. What batteries to take?

    Picking up an unknown truck involves patience, kool-aid, sandwiches, & a flare gun. Take tools, $$$$, a buddy (great for placing the blame on) and allow yourself 3 times the amount of time you "think" it should take. And oh yeah, video & pictures are great because , us being men, we love to...

    running a multi (LDT) w/o fan and or radiator

    Start it, light on the throttle, short shifting to get to 3rd gear quick, don't rev much past 1500rpm and you're done in less than 7 minutes. And where you are at the temperture has chilled that big chunk of cast iron motor through & through.

    Bidders Beware: GL is draining all fluids on trucks

    Possibly by draining all fluids and removal of the batteries relieves GL & the Gov't from all liabilities in case of damage or injuries caused by operation of the vehicle on the public roads. You will have accepted the property in a disabled condition. This is better for us instead of having...
