DH, the earlier posts was about some trailers or selling something as I recall, and that was never brought up again. What I was posting about now was a m818 from Lansing...exactly what the title says. Sorry to ruin your thread, that was not my intention . I can certainly start a new thread which...
Arrived in Lansing at 8AM, ate at Tim Hortons. Joe showed about 8:45 and we went in and started messing with the truck. Checked fluids, all look good except the fuel just had a little in the bottom and it was murky.
So we try starting the truck, no go. Take off fuel filter and there is...
So...drive around your 813 you got back from Oshkosh and post some pictures in another thread!
By the way, I just spoke with Joe; he might be able to set up my recovery for Monday. Hopefully it will work out that way. He sounds pretty busy.
Well, my EUC just cleared...7 business days, it gets shorter and shorter every time! Now, lets just hope it is a great runner. I'll post pictures of recovery. I have to call Joe today.
My dad did say he'd loan me the money, but I know my wife would freak. I barely was able to justify a deuce.
For the prices they went for it is a win win situation, you can't go wrong. Even if you scrapped the whole truck you'd get your money back as I was quoted $250 a ton yesterday.
Once...
Lansing must be a good place to get trucks at good prices, a nice looking truck went for $1780 and a really nice one with brand new T831's went for under $2600 and the other one with T831's that didn't look as nice went for under $2600 too. I tried to convince my dad to buy one and he said mom...
now you got me wondering...Tuesday I was going to go listen to my mentor preach (he is 87 and does not preach much anymore); but now I want to hitch a ride with mikeroot and see what the fuss is about. I like drama, as long as it doesn't involve me! My dad works at a concrete plant and he calls...
DH, I'm was just going to let 4x4 know that he should PM about stuff for sale.
What did Joe say that worried you? by the way, he did tell me that he reads this site!
$470 isn't that bad (for usual Michigan prices), if you are willing to drive a couple more hours you can get them in other states for under $200 usually.
I had one for sale recently for $525--without the wait! I even threw in a spare tire!
I didn't see any of the m105 trailers out of Lansing in a couple of weeks, I must have missed it. Did you get a good deal? If you haven't bought anything from GL expect a loooonnnggg wait on that first EUC.
Just so everyone knows, I'll be available to help too. But after looking at the trucks, I don't anticipate you guys needing to do much, slave start them and drive away! Of course, after a quick check of your fluids.
Joe is a good guy too, easy to work with. Just come get the stuff when you...
Well, Glenn needs his 2 moved--you have 3 drivers? If you have 3 guys already I will not bother driving down, I was just under the impression that I was to get Glenn's trucks to Ted's.
Plus, mike root should be there picking one up, maybe we will just ride together. 4- m818's will be leaving...
I think I am driving glenn's trucks over to TedG's place, probably Friday the 17 would work best for me. I hear Ted's storage location is only 2.5 miles from the GL lot. I can just make one extra trip and drive yours over there too.
I really think GL knows which ones run and which ones don't and which ones will start without a jump because here they where using yours and in PA Mike jumped in a truck, started it up and drove around to slave mine.
I'm sure this sort of thing happens all over the place. Whether it is right...
It is a sweet looking truck! Has some kind of foam insulation on the floor and firewall, and I know it runs good because they were using it to move around some trailers a guy was picking up!
Whatever further help you need between me and Mikeroot and 13mike we should be able to recover and...
