I can't image that fuel line would be hard to source or in short supply. Nothing special about the LMTV lines, as you know. There are a half dozen hose shops where I live and I have them made all the time.

I'm not in the market for gears. I'm just answering the OP's question. Or letting the community answer it. :)

Sure. But I'm going to farm the bits I need off it first. I'll be happy to ship what I get off it before I send it to the scrap yard. Or I may just pull what I need and let someone roll the rest home with them. I've never understood people selling stuff who won't ship. I see ads all the...

Agreed. I drove an old Winnebago in the 70's when the speed limit was 55. So chilling down the highway is no thing to me. Would I spend a couple grand to get the RPMs down? Sure. Would I piss away $5-6K to get the RPMs down? Nope. I've really got no dog in this hunt, but the OP asked...

The problem IMO is that when someone like the OP asked, they are usually fed the same line of BS: "supply demand", "Capitalism", etc, etc every time. So they just figure they have to pay the price. And nobody ever speaks up about it they just tell people "that's just the way it is, bend over"...

End of the day, it's not a democracy... but it would be an interesting blind poll to just ask truck owners out there if parts are ridiculously priced. I be the VAST majority of the owners would say yes. And they would be correct IMO even given overhead and a "reasonable" profit (I wonder how...

Well I've only been into LMTVs for 5 years now, but with regards to 3:14 regearing: How many years have I been told "there are no more", "they were only in the early Caimans", "there simply are none", "you can't get them anywhere", "it's just what they sell for", etc, etc. How about *every*...

Actually, I do get it. Here's a load Bryce picked up just a couple months ago. *and I'm not knocking Bryce, btw. He does full installs for what others just flip the gears sets for. He's not (just) a flipper. He provides a service (installation). And you will note that anytime someone asks...

If you "make" a widget then I fully agree. If you're buying up all the government scrap widgets for a penny, are in cahoots with others who do the same to fix the price at $100, sit on stock for years to create false rarity, etc...well, I call that a lot of things (but capitalism isn't on the...

Yes, but a "reasonable markup". I don't expect vendors to not make a profit and I'm well aware of overhead. But there are many who go way beyond reasonable. I Again, I'm not talking about doing any work or providing any service. Just scalping surplus at insane prices.

Well, yes. But when you buy a $50 chunk of scrap and flip it for $5000 there are a few other words that can apply, IMO. Scalping, price fixing, price gouging, ripping off, wallet raping, profiteering, taking advantage of, etc. I get capitalism being king and all, but 1000% markup is a bit "in...

Don't get me started. Corner the market, set the price.
