    I got pulled over in my Deuce

    That 'ballast' hanging on the left isn't a grill. I think that duece gets used for wake boarding. Run that rig in about 4' of water and the lean caused by that ballast being all on one side would produce a killer wake. Malibu, MasterCraft, Moomba, Tige, look out there is new competition in...

    Post auction deuce inspection Camp dodge

    I don't really know anything about those compressors but I would think they could be rebuilt. How do you know it is locked up? It may just be missing the belt. But if it is I might suspect there was a reason for removing the belt, like it was rattling or a severe air leak in the system...

    Deuce oil.

    Rotella 15-40, have used it in my dodge/cummins for years too. (even tru winter) Diesels are setup to handle the heavier oil. Also use it in the 350 HP inboard engine in my boat and lawn tractors too. Sams Club $10 per gallon, they usually have it in cases of three 1 gallon jugs and cases of...

    Practical uses for a Deuce

    He here is a money makeing use. Running illegals into the country. Might have to add another fuel tank. Or even better, running illegals out of the country. Or make money both ways by doing both. :twisted: Disclaimer: Not my idea, a friend asked if that is what I was going to do with my...

    EUC sent to Battle Creek

    Roscoe, first time will take longer in BC but I don't think it should talke longer in GL unless you made first timer mistakes on the form and they have to go back anf forth for more or corrected information. I have been pretty pleased with both GL and BC during my EUC processes. Good luck to...

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    Grrrr, GL Scott should schedule at least a half day per week to be there anytime that there are active listings at that location. Espeically with the quantities they have been selling lately. There seems to be a little 'friction' between Scott and the gurad guys at the base. Understandably so...

    Ditto on the classified section here, I am pretty sure I saw a brand new one listed there a couple days ago.

    EUC sent to Battle Creek

    nk14zp, something wacky going on there, a month in BC is not normal. I would call GL as ask them for some advice or at least a number in BC for you to call Mbsk01, 11 days in BC based on it being Wednesday now probably includes 4 weekend days, so I am guessing you are at 7 now. You should...

    Deuce Hood Hinge Pins?

    If your hinges are just loose versus missing or broken I like the mod where you drill the hole a little bigger, use a stainless 5/16 inch bolt, plus drill the center (male) part of the hinge a little bigger and use some sort of nylon bushing in that part. You can buy this mod from OD Iron but...

    EUC sent to Battle Creek

    Hey folks, count your days in business days. Neither GL or BC generally work on weekends. Also, there are two discussions going on here. Days at GL are only the first step and it seems to be takeing them about 4 business days to pass a perfect EUC over the fence to BC. That is if they got...

    EUC sent to Battle Creek

    My first EUC was 7 days counting the day it went to BC and the day it was approved. (that was late January) Geting the first one past GL is the hard part. That is a nice looking truck, it always scares me tho when there is a drip pan in the pictures. Maybe just an oil pan gasket.

    Yey Rat4spd, I just had a brainstorm and an offer to bail you out of your bidding mistake and the risk that this genset could be a lemon. I'll give you $100 for it right now, you sign your final paid invoice over to me for pickup and it eliminates all the risk of you being stuck with a pile...

    Help out a new guy!

    Biggles, 7 business days counting the day GL sent it to BC until BC approves you on your first EUC. After that, 4 busniess days. I know it is hard to wait. Do you have trucking lined up yet or is that why you need your euc confirmed?

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    Scott is hardly ever there. Call SgtMajor Louie Wolfgram. Which is likely the number that Scott gave you. The setup there sucks. Our government pays GL to do this stuff and in this case the National Guard still ends up doing most of the work. If you know where the truck is parked I wouldn't...

    Bidding Error ROFLMAO, Now that's a classic. I guess it is good for you that I didn't bid it up another 500 or so. :roll:

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    Yes, they have a forklift, probably more than one. They lifted my trailer out with it and I saw them puting another trailer on a duece for somone. In fact, if you just got that generator they carried it out to the lot where my trailer was when they recovered my trailer. It wasn't listed on an...

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    Where exactly is their 'north' lot? We recoverd three on Friday that were in two differrent lots that I would have considered to be ' north' and they were listed as driven to lot and ran fine. One was about 200 yards past where the blacktop road and tank trail merge into just a gravel...

    Recovering at Camp Dodge.

    When I was at the inspection for sale 4115 Scott said that he did not know anything about trucks. I showed him how to tell if they have a heater for the cab, so now he knows at least that much. I doubt he knows how to tell if the shop box has heat tho. If anyone bought one off sale 4115...

    Help out a new guy!

    You can get insurance on these things before you drive them away, you just need to start that process about the same time you send your EUC in. Hopefully if pics are needed from your ins company that the pics listed on the auction are good enough. They were for me. Ya when compareing price to...

    " looks like they went for $12,500/$13,666/$12,500" I might have been looking at the 'next bid' field but I really thought the were a bit higher.
