    ARB 5 ton locker

    It sounds like we certainly have some interest in this. We are still a little short of 50 but I may try to find some 4x4 sites and see if I can get some interest from anyone on there. Anyone frequent any good sites that might be worthwhile posting this info on?

    CTIS air catch trap with air leak

    I searched the TM's last night for hours and never came across the part. This is only the second time I have looked through the TM's and I am sure the part is in there but I sure couldn't find it. It is inside the cab, under the dash slightly right of the center of the truck. It looks like an...

    Indy recovery 2-17-15

    The day of the recovery started out at 4 degrees I believe. By the time we got there it was around 20. The temp is dropping as the week goes on. I will try that, I have a 24v charger on them now but over night only got me to 50% according to the charger. Maybe separating them would be better.

    ARB 5 ton locker

    I contacted ARB about developing a locker that would work in our 5 tons. I got a quick reply from a sales guy named Doug. He said they have looked into it in the past but just didn't feel like there was enough interest. So, I asked him how many they would have to sell to make it a project they...

    Indy recovery 2-17-15

    I won my first auction out of Indy last week, got a nice M923A2. I set up my appointment for 2:00 on Tuesday to pick the truck up. The truck center called at 10:00 that morning and said due to the cold weather, they could not get of the trucks to start. Great! They asked me if I wanted to...

    5 ton lockout hubs

    Has anyone had a chance to try Gearharts locker? I see they have it listed on their site. Maybe a group buy could get the price down a little?

    M925 or M923 for dump conversion?

    Thanks for the explanation Charger. I would have to agree, the C & C kit may be my best option assuming I can come up with a truck at some point! For those of you who have the C & C kit, how do you control it? Do you have a hand held remote in the cab? I am not worried much about the speed it...

    M925 or M923 for dump conversion?

    I don't know exactly how the PTO works on the 925 so forgive me if this is a dumb question but how does it work and how can it help me with a dump bed conversion? Am I correct to assume the winch runs off of a hydraulic pump that is engaged by one of the levers for the pto in the cab? Can this...

    M925 or M923 for dump conversion?

    I have been looking at some of the other posts about dump conversions and I think I have looked at C&C but I will check them out again. I probably won't use the dump that often but I can see where it would be nice to have if I need it. I sometimes have the need to move dirt or rocks and it...

    M925 or M923 for dump conversion?

    I have been watching auctions for a cargo truck but I can't decide which one would be the best option, the M923 or the M925. My plan is to eventually modify the truck to have a dump bed for light rock, dirt and wood hauling. For those of you who have done this conversion, which model makes this...

    GL auctions?

    Yes, I have been watching GP just to get an idea of what the trucks are going to sell for on there. They don't have any close sites to me either. I haven't noticed many trucks from MI but WI seems to have some pretty decent looking trucks. Bad thing about those sites are they are too far for...

    GL auctions?

    Is there anyway to tell where upcoming GL auctions are going to be? To be more specific, I am close to Indy, they had several trucks up for auction late this summer but I missed them. I have been waiting for them to list more trucks but they only have one or two here and there and they haven't...

    Lincoln Nebraska loadout

    Anyone in the area that could help move a truck to a location with a dock for shipping? If so, what do you charge? I am looking at some trucks out there but I am in IN so I need to figure out how to get it loaded on a semi trailer. I am not able to preview any of the trucks I am looking at but...

    Lincoln Nebraska

    Thanks, I never made it past the 5 ton section to realize this area existed. I have a local shipping company but they need a dock to load on their trailers. I have "asked a question" about docks at various locations and for this site the response was "Lot description below 7350 is printed to...

    Lincoln Nebraska

    Anyone able to preview any trucks out there? Do most of these locations have loading docks where you can load a truck on a semi trailer? I see most of the auctions say no GL assistance so does that mean it is up to the shipping company to load the truck?

    GL front end pics

    Thanks for the replies. That makes sense. I don't know if they change the cloth before the pics or not but I can't say I have ever saw one that had any kind of fluid on it or any of the pans look like they had anything in them. Maybe that is a good thing.

    GL front end pics

    I have been watching several auctions trying to pick up my first M939. I have noticed in several pictures on the GL website that they show a pallet with a white cloth or a drip pan under the front end of the trucks. I have not gotten the opportunity to actually go look at any of the trucks, just...

    Looking for a new toy

    Can I ask why not to back up in low range? Is that because the 6x6 is engaged? I think I read that when in low, the 6x6 is engaged. I am not from here, I moved here from a town called Xenia, IL about 17 years ago. I have never heard anything about Havens Elementary school but like you said...

    Looking for a new toy

    Hi All. About two months ago on my way home, I passed our local Chevy dealership and noticed this behemoth of an army truck sitting there. The M923A2. I turned around and went back to look at it. Luckily a salesman did not come out to greet me or I probably would have been driving it home for...
