    Just got an R2 crash truck

    yes on the generator.. It has a 100 amp system and lots of extras under the dash compared to a regular M37 instead of a 60 amp standard.

    Cold start valves Where to buy?

    After I took the C clip off I could not get that plate out and did not want to brake anything..So there is just a O ring behind that? I looked in all my manuals and nothing had a exploded view of the inside so I was afraid of wrecking it.. Hmmm.. anybody have the exploded view to post on here?

    Opinions needed on screwed up GL auction

    If thats the case my billing should have said LOT # such and such and THATS it. Not Truck DTID #, miles, pictures of the speedo, and so forth. Pictures can be wrong but not ID #'s of the truck.. Did you preview that M36 in Lansing? What if this had been the case on that purchase? Most of us...
