    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    I emailed customer service, and was told the pick up timeframe would not be extended, even at sites that are open one day per week. Although I have had much better results contacting the site rep directly. On-site reps have without exception been very accommodating. I have paid a late fee...

    How much did you pay for your M998/humvee?

    You can search GP and see all previous sales and what they sold for. Add roughly 20% for fees. Edit - took this reply forever to load. Meanwhile the answer was provided by others. I'd delete it, but I cant...

    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    I took a flatbed from OKC to Ft Bragg to pick up three M105A2 trailers. Upon arrival, I find that one of the three is actually at Camp Lejeune and that it'll be five days before Camp Lejeune's single pick up window. Granted, GP refunded me the purchase price of the M105A2 (after a couple of...

    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    I've had the same experiences from TX to as far as the east coast (Ft Bragg). I'll add that although the sites are only open 1 day per week and only 4 hours or so on that day that GP still considers Monday-Friday to be business days for purposes of calculation of your 8 day window. In other...

    Easy Way To Take Weight Off Loaded M1082's Springs

    Thanks for the relevant info. Mine came from firearm mags where a study was done as to whether leaving them full was better than emptying them. (no benefit). Also, car springs tend to wear out much faster after the shocks wear out - reason being that many more oscillations come from each bump...

    Easy Way To Take Weight Off Loaded M1082's Springs

    My understanding is that a static load won't harm springs, that springs are worn out by number of flexion cycles on them. I'd be more concerned about putting a load on the rear bumper that isn't designed for it. However, probably not a big deal either way. Mostly I think you're treating...

    will my mep 003a run with the fuse pulled 24 vdc

    Yeah, I just found it really amusing. Like a Rube Goldberg device. A convoluted indirect way to charge the 24v system. Similar to me using my 5ton as an air compressor to run my plasma cutter. No criticism implied.

    MRAP Alum. black wheels and Michlen 395/85R20's for LMTV ?

    MRAP rims are hub centered. The M1078 uses tapered bud rims, lie the M93 9series 5tons do. As much as i want to sell them to you I really don't think they'll work.* I know for a fact that M1078 rims work on 939series trucks, and that MRAP rims will NOT work on 939series trucks.* I suggest...
