    BAE protests FMTV Oshkosh award

    I wouldn't count on that either. Mainly due to the "carbon" part of it. If we remain on our current course by the time I have grandkids the only deuces you'll see will be static displays :-(.

    Again, GL sucks for customer service

    My EUC for 4600 is going on two weeks. The last few have cleared in 5 days but this time it's taking longer.

    Again, GL sucks for customer service

    My EUC says "sent to Battle Creek" today for 4663 so I guess I'm in the clear.

    Need winch shear pin and locking lever to be complete

    Here's a thread with just about all you ever wanted to know about shear pins. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/7948-winch-shear-pins.html?highlight=winch+shear+pins Seems even some of the main surplus dealers have been know to sell people the wrong pins.

    Again, GL sucks for customer service

    Well I bought a trailer on 4600 and my EUC was sent to Battle Creek the same day I sent it. 4663 is the sale I'm having problems with but looks like Kenny had no problems with this sale. Anything you do with GL is a crap shoot. You win some, you loose some.

    I want to buy an M35a and have questions.

    $3,000 is a decent price for private sale. The $1,500 figure mentioned is from GL. Buying from GL is fine but please look around this site and read about the GL trucks before you jump into buying one from them. There are risk involved buying from GL verses private sale. Learn about the EUC and...

    I want to buy an M35a and have questions.

    :-? What have you seen for $73,000? I'll take half that for my deuce and it runs like a top :wink:.

    Pics of my winch in pieces.

    Let me know what you come up with. I've got another winch to rebuild.

    I want to buy an M35a and have questions.

    I may have a M35A2 with winch for sale in TN in a few weeks if you are interested. It will have a clear TN title. GL fee is 10% and if you buy in TN the sales tax is 9.75%. I always figure 20% when I'm bidding which can be several hundred dollars over your winning bid so you've got to keep...

    Again, GL sucks for customer service

    I just got off chat with them myself. I bought a trailer in event 4600 and within a couple of hours of sending EUC GL said "sent to Battle Creek". Then I bought two trucks in event 4663. Two days after sending EUC the site says they still haven't received it. I got on the chat to make sure the...

    Pics of my winch in pieces.

    OD Iron has the best price that I've found. Last winch I rebuilt I crossed all the seals at NAPA and they were twice the price of OD Iron.

    LD465 question!

    Let me rephrase my statement. Unless somebody has stolen it off the truck it has one :wink:. You can also tell because it has no muffler. Good looking truck, by the way.

    Rest easy, that truck has a turbo. I have no idea which one though.

    5 Ton Winch Questions

    Just don't put too much on there. Having plenty of room left on the drum is a good thing. The only major winch failures I've ever seen were caused by either the wrong shear pin or the cable building up on one side and busting the case. The first can be prevented by using the right shear pin and...

    Newbie Deuce Year Question

    That is a SN. I wouldn't trust GL for it to be the correct one though.

    There was also somebody ranked "pie monger" a long time ago. I don't remember who it was.
