    18Gs for this truck?

    GL does that a lot. See it quite a bit when multiple items of the same type are up for auction. Same 2 or 3 pics on every lot. Caveat Emptor.

    M762 trailer

    I saw a half dozen on GL with lights mounted on them back in October. They appear on GL and GSA once in a while. Typical price is close to $1000 now. I have 2. One in original condition that I got from GSA in November. The other is in line for restoration. Apparently it was an air force...

    Have you tried having it cleaned. May not need a recore. My M109 didn't get above 220 at the 104 deg road temp except on the steep long grade outside El Paso.

    Las Cruces to.......wherever Kwai lives in Texas......

    I used the horn a lot from Sonora to the ranch. Every time I passed deer I honked the horn and they would jump and run. Best entertainment I had the whole trip. Well, that and the 4 armadillos I flattened on the way up. Never hit a hoover hog before but they kept running out in front of...

    Las Cruces to.......wherever Kwai lives in Texas......

    Ed was a great help. Picked up my truck (ft bliss) and 2 M101A1 trailers (santa fe) off-base and prepped it for the road. All for a couple of old tool boxes and a geared lug wrench. The trucks is in great condition. 500 miles on the odometer before we left Las Cruces.

    Ending prices not shown on GL

    RE: Re: Ending prices not shown on GL BTW, these postings here should be enough to make our opinions "official" if GL is really listening.

    Ending prices not shown on GL

    RE: Re: Ending prices not shown on GL I have observed the same thing. The 10-ton at NASA the was auctioned 2 weeks ago is just one example.

    Rant : Markings on equipment

    I was able to remove the markings from my m149a2 trailer and deuce using naphtha and a rag. When I was finished I scuffed the paint back to blend with the original paint with a 3m scuff pad.

    6TLs versus big box mart replacements

    New 6tl's are about $175. Optima redtops are $179 at local parts store. Anybody know how the red top compares to the 6tl (or 6tmf) battery in CCA and reserve capacity.

    1800 miles in 47 hrs. for an M274

    Mules are extremely useful around the shop. Mine isn't all stock so I use it for moving heavy items and as a mobile work bench. Because of the large flat work area it really works well. My rear engine guard is heavier than stock and had a ball hitch on it so I replace that with a receiver...

    Michelin 11.00-16 XZL's

    RE: Michelin 11.00-16 XZL XL's and XZL's should be fine and are 1100x16. I have seen several M37's and M715's with XL's and XZL's. I have both XL's and XZL's on my M715's. They drive very nice. The XML tires are 325/85-16 and won't fit since they are so wide.
