it really wasn't that much snow, my pickup was in about a 3' drift, but the 818 was only in about 8 inches of snow, the 818 didn't have a problem pulling its own weight through the same snowdrift to get in front of my pickup also I would have used my deuce however I have taken the batteries...

I was trying to defrost the 818 in my shop and decided to take some pics, also I got to use it today as I got my f-250 stuck in a snow drift, the 818 pulled it out, but I was surprised how little traction the 818 has, I had to get a running start to yank the truck out, I thought I would be able...

I hope to pick up a m127 trailer, and deliver bins of pumpkins with it, yes pumpkins, and also be able to pull my tractor to the tractor pulls, or whatever else I can pull that is to much weight for my f-350 and my 7 ton gooseneck.

I just drove slow, nothing special. also I am missing the wiring that should go from the truck to the trailer, there is a spot to plug the wires in to which is next to the air lines, but no wiring to get to the trailer, I am guessing it is a coiled wire that has a plug on both ends.

a few more pics, the liquid in the paper bowl is "antifreeze" from the drain plug of the radiator

sorry didn't work first time

here are a couple pics, and hoping it is just rust in the antifreeze

I picked up an 818 yesterday out of lansing, 05F 91471 C124 14612, carc/rebuild 6/92, thanks

Wow, that made for an interesting pickup of my 818 yesterday, it took me about 5 hours to go from lansing to the Indiana border, and 3 hours to go the remaining 150 miles. all went well, except for having to stop every 15 to 20 miles to clean the wipers, they would get iced up and not clean the...

I'll be there Friday as well, picking up an 818, sounds like a busy day on the GL lot, and especially at 9 am, I look forward to meeting you all. see you Friday

do a search for block heater, not glow plug

does the 250 cummins have glow plugs? I know the 5.9 and other cummins motors have a grid heater, not glow plugs

I agree, I just had to fax my euc in 4 times, 1st a revision was needed, 2nd a line through some information, 3rd they could not find it, 4th time was a charm, euc was sent to battle creek the same day I sent it in for the 4th time.

depending on what is wrong with the brakes it sounds like a fair price, with the lights did you have them turned on, it may sound silly, but you actually have to turn on the brake, and turn signal lights, as for the multifuel, I have really only used diesel in my deuce, but have read of people...

I'm going down around through chicago, and planning to drive it home, also the guys climbing all over they are probably looking to resell the trucks, and if so I would assume that they would want to avoid at all possible any trucks with known problems, so they probably are gold to these people...

well, I'm buying an 818 from gl, at lansing, anyways, I have never been over to that site, and was just wondering what the site was like, is it fairly easy to find/get to, and to get in, any help from people who have been there is appreciated. The reason I have decided to ask this question is...

Good luck

I'm going to drive my deuce over there and pull the deuce back with the 818, that way if there happens to be a problem I can switch it around, to make it home, albeit slowly:-D

3000+glfees and tax

I better show some pics before I get the "this thread is worthless without pics" I have seen wreckers sell for around 10k, so it seems a little high, didn't look "great" to me also, if anyone has an extra 11.00x20 tire laying around and would like to sell it let me know, as the spare is gone.
