I was thinking about all that crap the federal government started passing around 67- 68 for cars. I don't remember any specific laws, I just remember that for almost all of it, trucks over a certain GVW were exempt or didn't have to comply until several years later. I was thinking that was...
RE: Re: RE: 24VDC Generator Questions
I believe the TM is TM 5-6115-323-14 and TM 5-6115-323-24P which are on this site even though the pictures looks like TM 5-6115-326-15:
Link to TM's for this set...
I believe he is talking about the definition of the condition code F7. As has been said many times before, condition codes on GL, which come from DRMO, don't mean a thing. I have seen new in the box listed has HX and scrap listed as A1. It usually falls at some random number in between.
RE: Re: what r duece worth now (newbie)
It is hard to say without pictures or anything. The market has been flooded with good fresh out of service trucks that you can drive away. The ones I watch usually go for $1500 without winch and 2500 with winch, plus or minus $500. Five years ago you...
Since it has been over 2 weeks since my original post and no one has reported similar treatment at any other locations, I must assume that it was just a case of someone being promoted to a position beyond their capabilities.
I like the first one with the black racing stripes the best. No, just kidding. 383 CARC is what it should be. The middle one looks the closest to me on my monitor. It is hard to tell from GL pictures. There are a lot of variables such as fading of the paint, color balance of the camera...
Half of the Marine Corps humvees went through an auction house in Atlanta, so they probably know that they all had for off road use only stamped on the form 97. For those who don't know, most of the humvees that have been released were in one large lot from the Marine Corp. Half went to an...
Wasps are common down here. I generally keep a can of wasp and hornet spray with me any time I am checking the fleet. If you can't see the nest, you might try a can of fogger. That will usually get them off their nest and flying around inside the cab. If you don't see dead wasps in the floor...
I wouldn't think you would need the side lights unless you are trying to pass a commercial inspection. Most trucks are released without them as far as I have noticed.
There is a kit that has all of the lights in it. I have heard rumors that it was to make it legal in Europe.
I have bought two sets of boat batteries. One was starting and one said starting and deep cycle. I thought the deep cycle might last longer with infrequent use, but I have nothing to base it on.
The only truck I have ever bought that had good batteries had Dekas in it. It started right up without a jump and hasn't given me any trouble since. All the rest have been junk.
RE: GL claims seem to be a waste of time??
I have just now made the connection that your truck was at Montgomery, I guess I read the first few posts, then missed the one that gave the location. In case you missed my post, it is here...
The 6TL (or one of its derivatives) are the correct battery but they are expensive and only have a one year warranty. Several have reported only getting two years use out of them. I just recently put two of wal mart's boat batteries in mine. The smaller ones they sell are the correct height...
I prefer ACDelco oil filters when I can get them. This is based on the advise of the best mechanic in the area at the time which was back in the 80's when these trucks were new. His reasoning was that the oiling system was designed for a certain flow rate and "back pressure". Increasing the...
Let me clarify myself. It has been my understanding that, in the past, sites are listed as "buyer loads" if full time help cannot be guaranteed. It has been my experience that if help was available it was given. The new person that I dealt with yesterday stated that due to liability...
