I am an Illinois resident. I was charged sales tax by GL on sales of vehicles in WI and IN. In Illinois, sales tax on vehicles is handled by the DMV and usually is $25 for older vehicles. My question is, as an out of state resident, can I somehow recover those sales tax monies? Thanks

I was reading about M927 truck that I bought. Its turning radius is listed as 46 ft in the transportation manual. Then I read Wikipedia about the term "turning radius" and it says that the term actually means "turning diameter". So, my question is , is 46 ft really the turning RADIUS (diameter...

I do not get it myself. I buy and sell stuff, and I have a nice GMC topkick truck that I bought for $120 (and then spent $1000 on tires and minor repairs). WhenI look at M929 dumps , they do not look all that useful to me. Not useful enough to justify the high price.

My father in law once ran my lawnmower on kerosene too, it actually worked, but would never start since. I had to completely wash the carb.

I plan on trAilering. I have my semi and lowboy trailer.

I won an M931A2 tractor in Spart and M927 extended wheelbase 5 ton truck in Indianapolis. I have some questions. 1. Is 10 days a hard limit, what happens on the 11th day? 2. Indianapolis and Sparta say "by appointment", but they do not list a number to make an appointment, how do I reach them...

This is exactly what I want to do with the M931A2 that I bought in Sparta last week, use it to tow a low boy trailer. What I hope is that 6x6 drive can help me get this low boy over some dock curbs, humps and curves.

A working fuel gauge on ANY truck is a novelty

So, guys, being a soon-to-be owner of a M931A2 truck, I just have a very simple question: how difficult is it to disable CTIS and switch to regular manual airing of tires, if necessary? thanks

Bruce, I thought that I could come on any weekday within 10 days of my paid invoice? Am I mistaken? Do I just show up, or do I need to schedule P/U? Again, the semi tractor is in Sparta, and the M927 truck is in Indianapolis. thanks P.S. due to DOT's "Roadcheck 2013", we will be staying out...

Assuming there is 24,000 lbs of scrap steel, the scrap value is appx. $3,120 at $260 per short ton.

Great point, thanks. Not to exceed safe speed when making turns.

I plan on using it to move forklifts and surplus equipment that I buy and sell, and sometimes scrap metal. I would say, I expect 50-100 miles of city driving per week. As to off road driving, once a month we may get some work to be done off road, but not in conditions resembling "steel soldiers...

OK, it looks like you can carry 10 short tons, I will be happy with that. I will definitely try to be following at a safe distance, something that I try to always do.

When I go 60 on a 55 highway, everyone zips by me. I looked up the turning radius in the operator's TM, it is the same as M923. 46 feet. My forklifts are all under 8 feet tall, so if the bed is under 5.5 feet, I will be under the 13' 6" limit. Anyway, how much weight can I realistically...

I have, in the last few years, been a very conservative and safe driver, driving 60 MPH when the speed limit is 55 MPH, my brakes on my pickup last for 80k miles etc. I am contemplating commercial use of a M927 truck to move various equipment, forklifts etc with the M927 that I bought (this...

Dear denizens, how do you use 12v _semi_ trailers, with M931A2 _semi_ tractors that are 24v based? I need to run the lights only. Trailers are all airbrake based regular semi trailers. I am sure that there is some robust solution.

Awesome!

Very cute looking little truck, congrats! ;)

You win! And I hate you! [BG]
