    Empty 20+5' gooseneck, Ft Bragg NC to OKC, early November

    I had a load going from Ft bragg to OKC, and planned a trip around it. I have now lost that load, but I don't want to let down the other people I committed to move stuff for on the outbound leg. So the trip will still happen. I'm empty all the way back. I'm able to move anything less than a...

    Fayetteville GP Pickup

    Talk to bikeman. He's local there and frequently does pickups. Make sure that it is actually located in Fayetteville. My trailer that was listed as Fayetteville was actually located at Camp Lejeune. Camp Lejeune only does loadouts on Thursdays. I arrived in NC on a Friday. I've frequently...

    Mixing rustoleum colors to match 383 carc green

    Deep forest green looks good, but it isn't a match. The picture is an M105A2 with 2014 CARC on it. The welder is fresh deepnforest green . Behr housepaint may get you closer to 383 green. Maybe someone else will chime in with more and better info..

    Need advice on rusted deuce stake pockets

    Sandblast thoroughly. Then ospho. Then paint. Depending on what value you place on your time, bed replacement may be the cheaper option. I've got a 12' M1078 bed with dropsides that should bolt on to your deuce easily. $1500 delivered. Personally though, I'd just fix yours. I'll send you...

    Ft Riley KS to Ft Carson CO and back, leaving in an hour...

    If there's anything I can deliver for you or transport for you, let me know. Empty 1ton pickup on the way out, empty 1ton pickup and M1082 on the way back. Departing Ft Carson tomorrow. (I don't really expect anything to come of this, but you never know)

    welding on a CUCV / CARC

    N95 mask to keep particulates out. Well ventilated area to minimize exposure to the rest, except this is problematic since it'll blown your shielding gas away. Using MIG on CARC painted surfaces will require lots of prep work. MIG requires a clean surface to work with. When I weld CARCed...

    Is a smaller exhaust pipe an issue?

    1) increased back pressure will rob power, worsen fuel efficiency, and degrade throttle response. 2) It'll bug you forever if it is already disappointin to even contemplate. If they're reluctant, find someplace that isn't. JMHO

    Can I tow a M989a1 with a civi pick up?

    Yeah, the deuce air system works with it. I'll go so far as to say that an M35A2's braking is enhanced by having that trailer behind it with modern airbrakes and springbrakes.

    Can I tow a M989a1 with a civi pick up?

    A pickup truck will pull it, no problem. A pickup truck will not stop it, noway, nohow. I just had to know, so I hooked mine to my 1ton dually. Even at low speeds it'll push you all over the place. The problem is twofold- there's no tongue weight, and the trailer is unbraked. This makes your...

    I'm over represented in that 2%. I'm seeing errors around 20% on my interactions. Jwade, you've fixed them all. Your personal integrity and competence aren't in question. I'd have bailed out many purchases ago if it wasn't for your interventions. The thing is, it looks like you aren't getting...

    M109A3 from Gatesville, TX to San Antonio, TX

    Pickup at Ft Hood is Wednesday only, and 0800 only. Hopefully that'll change.

    M109A3 from Gatesville, TX to San Antonio, TX

    Has the radiological survey been completed on it? I had won that one and waited 6 months on an EUC before being informed that the rad survey had to be complete before the EUC would even begin. They were unable to commit to a 2 year timeframe so I got a refund. They promptly relisted the...

    Push Button Light Switch...

    In 939series trucks they're known to fail and burn... If you can find someone with one, they'd probably be willing g to trade you straight across for your 3 lever switch. I suggest checking with Lindsey97 as I think I remember one of his trucks being cursed, um I mean *equipped* with one. ...

    I have a truck that I've been waiting over a year for a title. Truck was purchased 7 October 2015. GP issued one, and sent it to the wrong place - not the address I listed on the paper title request form I filled out. When I called customer service to find out where it was (multiple multiple...

    Ft Hood recovery - Epic FAIL

    So last week I took my M925 to towbar a truck a buddy won. Blew a right steer tire 20 miles from the gate. I missed my GP pickup window. So I went back this week and tried again. First off, lots of problems with the air system. It wouldn't take air. I found two places it was blocked...

    M1078 inspections needed

    Sitting for 6 years is not uncommon. I've picked up a bunch of trucks with chalk marked turn in dates 2010 and 2009. Just because it runs doesn't make it roadworthy. Tires sitting flat with creased sidewalls are some of the least serious deficiencies I've found... With auction prices being...

    Grilling Tires.. Mmmm mmmm good

    Moved the tire from right rear to right steer, and changed it roadside. Went on down the road singled on the right rear. Missed a pickup at ft hood from GP, which pushed it out a week. Apparently they only do loadouts on Wednesdays.
