    I went through this same experience with 5143. Crickets for ~98days. Then I emailed DLA and 3 days later had my PIF.

    What's this space heater all about?

    Reviving this thread: has anyone actually USED one of these? I've been looking for a space heater for a tent for a while, this seems like it might work well, but I am naturally dubious until I can get a first-hand account. Anyone have any experience using one?

    Any first timers have a 5143 auction clear yet?

    I received my PIF invoice today! I am relatively certain the steps I took were effective in getting my EUC clearance moving along. It was a non-confrontational, professional approach working within the system that was ultimately effective. Highly recommended for those of you waiting for...

    Any first timers have a 5143 auction clear yet?

    Today I received this happy surprise in my email inbox: Sir, The DLA Accountability office advises they have favorably assessed your EUC today and advised GL of the clearance. I suspect you will be hearing from GL soon. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Sales Contracting Officer <<crm_pdf_print.pdf>> DLA...

    Any first timers have a 5143 auction clear yet?

    So under advice from another thread I finally broke down and emailed DLA. I sent them a quick note inquiring about the status of my EUC and the apparent delay (100 days tomorrow!) They came back with a request for some additional info, which I provided and then I recieved the following response...

    How long at Battle Creek?

    I read a seperate post here on SS where DRMS advised the buyer that because of the irridium in the gauges trucks were being moved from demil B/Q to demil F, and the vehicles were requiring a seperate & additional clearance certificate. Hence the hold-up. I chatted with Jacinta at GL about it...

    Xtreme 4X4 Deuce bobbed(Spike TV)

    This is killing me! I've been waiting for this episode since the weekend after the 2nd installment aired, and now that it's finally showing I am out of the country. Argh!

    Who says you can't pull a Deuce with a pickup truck

    I've never seen an F700 before, amazing how much it and the deuce look alike in that 2nd pic. Looks like a good score, congrat's.

    Do it yourself electric brake wiring

    X2 on the pic's, and maybe a wiring diagram? I can do very, VERY simple wiring (my most complex project was on-board air on my landcruiser with pressure cutoff switch and dash toggle, and that only had one relay and everything was 12v) and I am having a hard-time keeping the visual in my head...

    Any first timers have a 5143 auction clear yet?

    Good for you C-30! I'm up to 98 days. I used to read posts by guys who were at 100+ days and think "Man, sucks to be that guy....." Serves me right I guess :sad:

    Which tent would you recommend?

    Yep, that sounds like exactly what I saw. Bummer about how much space it takes though, it was perfect for what I wanted. Maybe I should just pack it into a trailer and keep it there in case of emergency? Then just back the deuce up to it, hook it up and away we go....... Tks SCSG!

    Which tent would you recommend?

    For heating I was planning on a tent compatible with a fuel-burning heater, and windows to open to ventilate to help cool it off. I like modular, and love the idea of something with vestibules - then it's easy to do a cooking area, and seperated/enclosed latrine area. I saw something that...

    Which tent would you recommend?

    Ok, while I was joking about the zombie apocolypse, I do really need some tent suggestions. I read a bunch of tent posts from different folks on here and saw some different thoughts play out, but they were primarily surrounding using the tent as a garage or short-term living conditions...

    Which tent would you recommend?

    While reading SS I found out there is an (apparently) inevitable zombie invasion looming on the horizon. So I plan to get a good tent for my family to live in during the apocolypse. Which tent would you recommend? Looking for something to house all 7 of us to live in for an extended period...

    Starts & Runs

    Good question, and to be honest I am not sure. He did mention though that there is a tow company immediately off base that has been very helpful in the past. Worst-case scenario I get them to drag it off-base for me.

    Starts & Runs

    Will definitely be insured for the trip. I will be getting a temp permit from the fabulous state of Kalifornia. Hopefully I am only driving the truck a few miles to another SS members yard, and we'll be going through it together before it hits the road for real. Then a few test runs (think...

    Starts & Runs

    Seems like brake problems are fairly common. Thats a little scary when considering it's a 14k lb missile going down the road with no way to stop.

    Goldmine!!!

    I am trying to get a pallet of heavier stuff shipped to Sac CA. If anyone in the area can work out a deal for parts with ARDUECE and wants to go in on the shipping, PM me.
