    Get Your Popcorn Ready: Unicorn ALERT

    What's truly amusing about this whole situation is the winning bidder paid nearly what Uncle Sam paid to Oshkosh. The NSN shows $72,269.88 as their standard list price but contracts from 2014-2022 show price of $42,596.63-$57,776.62. GP walked away with near 75% of that in their pockets.

    Questions about Title Transfer

    I can issue the appraisal, I'm a registered auto dealer in Texas and I do them often. The second part about "designed to travel on public road or highway" may be covered by text in a TM. It will at least state max travel speed for certain terrain including on highway use. The last requirement...

    I opened and installed a true NOS alternator for my M936A2 wrecker. It was packed in a large foam block and wrapped in oil paper. Talk about mint!

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've used Premium Plus, Ultra, and Marquee and end up going with Premium Plus more often than not. The higher you go in the branding/"quality" the more glossy they become. I've had lengthy discussions with my local Behr rep and even the flattest Marquee is still an eggshell (in gloss) in...

    How do you move your generator(s)?

    The M10A when it needs to just be out of the way. The M1089A1 when it needs to be somewhere specific. :p

    2007 S&S A1R has 100amp alternator

    To give some insight, most 2005 and some 2006 A1s were upgraded/rebuilt from existing "A0" stock as part of a "buy back" program. A lot of these 2005-06 era trucks with C7 engines aren't A1R status (i.e no coil over suspension, no high pinion diff, etc) but they do have the cab handles, battery...

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    What's the engine serial? I'm curious if there's any rhyme or reason. Same as I've seen completely black engines before but they were full remans.
