    Questions: Steam Cleaners

    One of the major uses for the steam cleaners is preparing the equipment for shipment. Any vehicle going by air must be clean, clean, clean- the uSAF is pretty anal about oil leaking in the plance. Anything going into or out of the USA must be super clean as well, Customs is a real stickler for...

    Which to keep-6.5L M1009 or a 6.2 M1009?

    If you have a GEP built 6.5, keep it and fix the issues with the rest of the truck. The GEP made 6.5's are the best of the best of the 6.2/6.5 series trucks. When AM General took over production of the engine they fixed all the weak points GM didn't, and now Navistar casts the blocks and they...

    A few good words about g.l.

    GL is the only organization I have ever dealt with that actually makes the Federal Goverment look competent and organized. They have some good folks at the lowest levels, along with a bunch of idiots who like to damage, destroy and allow pilfering and theft. The management is utterly...

    Information on M915

    Yep. I have seen a whole front wheel, hub and brake drum come off and go into oncoming traffic. I have seen a rear tire shred and the parts hit a passing motorcyclist. I have seen oil line rupture and leave oil on the road causing vehicle behind to skid and wreck. I have seen front tires blow...

    Information on M915

    It is because of the GVWR. You also must stop at all weigh stations along the way. If you are planning on buying a GL truck and then driving it that far, bad plan in my opinion for many reasons. First, you will not have a title, that means no tags or registration. The first weigh station you...

    Ft. Bragg GL Rep

    They worked with me when My EUC cleared the day I left for a 4 week AT with my USAR unit. They seem pretty flexible and easy to deal with as long as you are coming during their normal days. That said, I get down there usually once a month, and come right back on 40, so if it is a trailer or...

    Loading requirements for a Government Auction

    Unless your state will give you a transporter tag, or you can get a temporary permit for a vehicle that you do not have a title for, it is not legal to just drive off, and you are opening yourself up for legal problems. Plus, you are buying a 100% unknown truck that you cannot test drive and...

    I know most MV's made after 81, with the exception of CUCV's, do not have VIN numbrs that conform with FMVSS standards. Has anyone had any problems with the DMV issuing a title from an SF-97 when the VIN was not the in standard post-81 VIN number style? Looking for NC DMV experience...

    Who won what on 12 NOV?

    There are absoluetly no plans to put the 800 series "back in service", and as of right now the guidance issued is still for all units to turn in all 800 series vehicles as unservicable unless it is serving as an authorized substitute for an item the unit is authorized and awaiting delivery of.
