Redneck20's description is spot on. There's an unrelated problem with AZ and GL at this time. That is irrelevant. California requires the vehicle to be titled by the original Buyer prior to subsequent transfer to a 3rd party. I'm certain that transfers have been done without it. These...

Email from gl title supervisor says AZ not giving gl titles and won't issue titles off of an sf97. I suspect this is the official updated policy but that not everyone got the word, resulting in some getting titled with an sf97, depending on who is behind the counter....

These trucks are thick enough that warpage from sandblasting is a minimal risk. Not saying it can't be done, but you'd really have to try.

I went all out full overkill on my m923a2. Had it blasted down to bare steel throughout, then Reshot with Milspec carc. On my m925 I took a much more relaxed approach and spot blasted it where needed and then rattlecanned it all over, following the pattern of the carc. Can't beat it for the...

I pulled one apart this morning. I make it to be the side with the light colored plastic thingy is the pressure side. The hole is where it dumps. And the valve that I removed controls the dumping. I can't see a reason to do away with the valve. My recommendation is to leave it in place and...

I didn't realize they are overwidth. Edit: I just went and looked at maximum legal width and actual m1070 width. The HET is ok at 2.59 meters with maximum legal width being 2.6 meters. 102 inches. 2nd edit: why Bob it? Why not remove the ramps and add a bed like a lot of people are doing with...

The heavy truck place I went to had them in stock. They were black and not as heavily built as the reddish ones for the hemtt rims. Changing them should be as straightforward as pulling the rim apart and cleaning and then putting the new one in place as part of reassembly. That's all I did and...

Look at the title. Make sure it really exists. If not, cease all thoughts of buying that truck. Nice m923a2s sell for $5500 to about $9500. Here's my value equation, yours may differ: The truck in poor condition - $2k, sell a part or 2 and scrap it Cargo cover and bows etc - $1k, easily added...

Ebay: "military trucks not eligible for any kind of purchase protection." Keep that in mind when looking there. Disregard the part where it says all vehicles will be sold with titles.

3 calls to AZ DMV got me 3 resounding "no"s. Obviously if there was a way to title it I'd have no problem...

Response: "You've got to be kidding."

From the California DMV webpage: ***** Updated on Wed, 7/30/2014 A certificate of title issued by the state of California is a document that proves legal ownership of a vehicle. A title must be obtained when an individual purchases a new vehicle. A title transfer must also be completed when a...

Just "we are unable to resolve this in your favor at this time." And closed it. I suspect the guy told them an sf97 and bill of sale was sufficient to transfer and they took that at face value.

He isn't a member here as far as I know. I expected ebay/paypal to back me up on the no title thing, since ebay ' s vehicle policy clearly says all vehicles must be sold with a title. Since they didn't I have to pursue other options. The guy is accusing me of attempting to back out because...

Nope. It was clearly marked as payment for a vehicle.

Paid by paypal. Opened a case with paypal. They decline to do anything about it. Next step is consult attorney.

I bought a truck from an individual. He wants to give me the original SF97 and a bill of sale from him to me as transfer paperwork. My understanding is that the original SF97 is only good for that first transfer from GL to the original purchaser and that subsequent transfers have to be with a...

I've done it a bunch on other vehicles also. It would never have occurred to me that it was a bad idea until I read about people having problems with it on these trucks. I recently recovered an m925, with utterly dead batteries. Before reading here I would have simply slave started it and...

I agree with what's quoted. I won't pretend to know more than I do about the electrical systems. I can't tell you *why* or *how* trying to charge bad batteries with our 5 ton trucks will result in failure. HOWEVER, there are simply too many examples of people that have fried a generator doing...

I like it.
