That didn't take long.

HEMTTs are now coded demill Q3 which requires mutilation and no salvaging of parts. You may be able to purchase one from a private individual who already owns one but I would check on exporting one legally before forking out the money.

You are talking about the U.S. Government, logic does NOT apply.

Buy away. It is very unlikely they will recall the trucks that have been sold. It is also looking like no more MK48/HEMTT/LVS/PLS will be sold in any state other than scrap as the demill code is now Q3 which requires mutilation and no salvage of parts. Now, that being said some could find there...

This is a fun activity for a HEMTT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OhlnOGvP-s

My M985 went through that program in 2001 and as of now only has 5000 miles. The new recap program will update the drivetrains to CAT C15 Acert engines, Allison 6 spd transmissions, and either air bagged suspensions or the RAK 4 independent suspension. I believe that the new recap program is...

It is gone now.

Not yet, but it may be a thought just to irritate the repo boys. LOL

Oh for heck sake. I didn't buy from Uncle Sam. So I'll just make a deal to not pay taxes or they can trade me for some other 5 tons or something because I didn't pay bid cost, I bought private and the bidder made money. So welcome to "LET'S MAKE A DEAL." If I can recover my costs they can have...

I think if you already have a title/SF97 that means they are withholding private property and that is a different set of laws. Just sayin'.

So what's the story concerning the trucks not being released to owners that won bids, got EUCs cleared and have release papers? I have spoken to 2.

You have my interest. I have heard directly from 2 individuals that were declined pick up of trucks they won, paid for, cleared EUC and had release papers. One was on an M985 HEMTT and the other was on a MK48 FPU. Any other buyers experience this?

That's actually a good thing for the current owners.

I already hear lawyers phones ringing. LOL

OK, so what about 2nd or 3rd down the line purchases? I mean people who bought from private individuals and never signed any purchase contracts or EUCs. That could cost GP or the Feds some money or they just say "Keep it, enjoy." Yep, this is going to get interesting.

Just a little info I have received. I have gotten word from 2 different people that had won and paid for these (1 MK48 FPU and a HEMTT) got the EUC cleared then were denied pickup even though they had release papers. They were informed that they are restricted items when they went to pick them...

OK, you have my interest now. I want one, have found one and now wonder if I should pull the trigger or not.
