    Deuce Battery Options?

    The 6TLs have a CCA875 rating so as long as you meet that you will be okay. Batteries on this forum are similar to pork chops, every body has their own special recipe and their method is the only way to go. Myself the way I solved the problem was to always park on a hill;-) Blems $40 each.

    cost of m35a2 wo/w

    Got mine from the back of a comic book advertisment. $50 & still in the crate! Before some of you guys say I paid too much, it was worth it to me. Afterall these trucks are worth what we are willing to pay.

    engine running hot what should I check first

    Loose belts? The fan puts enough of a drag on the pump that at speed loose belts will slip & the pump does'nt move water. Use a meat thermometer to check the coolant temp in the radiator. Should be close to what your gauge is reading. Remove the cap before bringing the motor up to temp to avoid...

    No sf-97 - florida title ?

    Yeah, that is what I had said earlier, tag it in Ga. then apply for Fla. title & tags. This would most likley be the best way way to go. But you will need to act on it quickly, the Fla. fees are going up big time Sept 1st.:-(

    No sf-97 - florida title ?

    GL would only deal with the original buyer. But too much time has elapsed for GL to even consider doing anything at all to help. This truck that you now possess may have passed through several owners before it ended up on a tow lot. The ugly side of this is, someone may have a legal claim to it...

    No sf-97 - florida title ?

    Best bet on this one is to just go to the tag office with your BOS from GA. Tow companies here in Fla. have to run a legal notice in the local newspapers before they can sell a vehicle after they have had possesion for 30 days. You may have to get a bonded title search to go with your BOS. The...

    m1009 gov-loc has gov-bombed? why is it clapping

    The GovLoc 80 in my son's truck fragged out & destroyed the gear set. Replaced it with a Detroit Locker, Summit 3.73 gear set, Ratech installation kit, new axle bearings and seals. Added an aluminum cover with the bearing cap support studs. Approximate total cost was $1000. Next item to replace...

    Why do IP heads go bad?

    No, to the repair question.Machining tolerances are less than .005. The actual hours on the engine is really a guess at best. The hour meters go bad and are replaced just like any other part, sometimes a little sticker is applied but, none of the previous operators really cared if the meter was...

    Battle Creek Phone number

    The length of wait time is truly a hit & miss proposition. My 1st GL EUC was less than 3 weeks. Now it has been 8-10 days. There has been others on here that have had to wait for 6 weeks+.:-( You are halfway there, so drink Pepto & take a nap and soon the EUC fairy will visit.
