'Yuuz got to take ur medicine, boy'... (but it's way cool, and I'll fly down and drive your 'oversize load' chase truck for you!

Daniel is also doing my 5039, and i have a 'chat reply' that confirms they have the EUC, but is does not show rec'd in my account. No reply to several emails to Daniel. Maybe he is on vacation or something. ---

Ha- I'm a new guy, too, and really find the info and exchange to be helpful and useful. The only bad thing is all the new ideas to build and new trucks to buy... Good luck on your trip and post some pictures- of anything. --

The compressor belt is NAPA 25-9510. Alternator/fan belts (2 ea) 25-9470 --

Bring an extra fan and compressor belt along. I lost a belt the other day when I was out in the sticks. --

I don't think the motors are limited to 1800 RPM's, that is just the optimum setting to run continuously in a generator. So spool up the RPM's for speed. I think running the muti-fuel engine at 1800 rpm would be perfect and the dang thing would go forever... is that a realistic thought?

hammer- that is a good plan. Thanks. I just dumped the oil in the deuce, and put in the most recent oil of this batch (30w). I'll see what it looks like in a few hundred miles. Would be nice to have a real clean motor -- at least for peace of mind if nothing else. BTW, I just sent in an oil...

robr- about those K&N air filters- they just happen to fit late model Chevy 6.6 DuraMax trucks! Good pick. I'll get with you about the spacer. The truck came out real nice.

Very nice- thanks for the pictures. It will really handle well when you're crossing hills with the passenger on the upside... :wink: --

One of my first posts here at SS (only a couple months ago) was to ask where to find/ or if there was a registry. Nothing came of that-- so I understand your pain...

Some thoughts about 'registries' before you invest a lot of effort. You have to ask 'why'? (My thoughts wander- so excuse the 'unspoken' :-P ) The idea of a registry is to locate and track the whereabouts of (in this context) a vehicle. A good idea. This is based on the existence of factory...

Hi Adam- we'll look forward to meeting you. We'll have some planning meetings before this convoy in May, we'll post anything here on SS. This should be a fun trip- and plenty of places to off-road! The rail bed we will be traveling on is 'off road', too. We are not a club (as mentioned on the...

Truck looks great. My vote (drum roll) -- paint the wheels to match the truck paint.

robr- let me know if you want to sell your 5 ton steering wheel, no need of it sitting around and going to waste:wink:

Wishing you luck... --

Welcome- congratulations, very cool to see a first post reflect a first MV! Esp. a 5 ton... Sure hope you can post several pictures. Did GL allow you to check your truck after the bidding ended? Jut curious, I have been told NO WAY to check it after the sale closes- GL company policy. ---

I spoke to a GL rep on the phone yesterday to check 5039 EUC status. (My account also shows 'EUC submission pending'.) They verified my EUC and ID had been rec'd, and is ok. I would suggest you call. They seemed to be able to pull up my account quickly and identify issues. I also asked about...

Did you verify your speed with GPS? ---

You should call GL, mine says EUC pending and I just now found out they didn't get my EUC and ID. It's been 13 days (event 5007) and they said I may loose the truck! Another one says EUC pending (5039) and they DO have my docs.... Good luck ---
