    should I bid on this one?

    Are you planning to drive it 3000 miles? Or pay $3500 or so to have it shipped? Presume that you get it at market value, and that market value is the same in California as it is on the East Coast. (Both of these are large assumptions). Given these assumptions, you start the game $3500 in the...

    Spring spacer really that bad?

    What are you trying to accomplish? Bigger tires? Stance? Altered ride quality?

    White smoke at start up

    What makes you think so? A little coolant makes a lot of vapor... That being said, I think what you're experiencing is normal fuel condensation on cold cylinder walls.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I've had "very good" and "very bad" experiences with both. I can't say I have a preference between the two when it comes to customer service. End prices on items that get chased, like trucks, really aren't any different either. End prices on items that don't get chased hard are much higher...

    AZ Emissions in LMTV

    I don't know what's worse - that AZ has us test vehicles that have no semblance of emissions equipment, or that our vehicles with no semblance of emissions equipment pass. My M1009 passed easily.

    should I bid on this one?

    YES! Buy that one. It'll be one ** of an educational experience. :)

    should I bid on this one?

    Oh, and the 6x6 variant is heavy enough to trigger CDL requirements in CA, while not being old enough to fall into the historic exemption. (This is my read and interpretation - others may vary. The only one that counts is the LEO who stops you) You may get around this once you have convetted it...

    should I bid on this one?

    It's extremely difficult to bid against people who don't know the trucks. Many times, the inexperienced will bid while thinking ,"that other guy knows something. At worst I'll just be one bid too high if I just keep bidding to win " What's funny, is when you get two of these guys bidding on...

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    What competition? If GL doesn't get it back, it'll be one monopoly losing to another monopoly. It won't be a division of the nonrolling stock. The "competition" portion comes into play when they're competing for the contract.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I wonder if this is related to GP's pending announcement.

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    Idling is bad. (Wet stack) I suggest taking it for a drive instead, or just drain the tank.

    Various M998A1 gremlins

    That's not afterglow. That sounds like a voltage regulator failing. Do you have a grounding kit on your truck?

    Adding two-stroke oil for lubricity - this study says NO.

    Yes but... Many times those running the studies have a result they want to see and they massage the data to reflect that result. So I'm not sure which is worse - untampered data polluted with so much noise it's unintelligible, or noise free data that has been tampered with to reflect the...

    Engine noise on morning start ups! HMMWV 6.5 GEP

    I suspect you're right and that it's an oil thing. I can certainly hear it on everything diesel that I drive : M35A2, M939series trucks, the hmmwv, and even my pickup truck. It clearly correlates with the needle on the oil pressure guage. In the Ford trucks (buddies', not mine, ewwww ford...
