    A nubbie needs help

    That is what I am trying to get across to him, he better get it straightened out with what he is going to do with it because apparently he already won it. It is his. I guess you might be able to cancel before the EUC goes through but I would bet that will screw you for any future sales. They...

    A nubbie needs help

    See this thread, This guy was lucky but his circumstances were totally different. You just decided you don't want it. That is not going to fly with them. That is how any auction works, once you win the bid it is yours. If you do not pick it up within the allotted time it will be resold and you...

    New Old Warn Winch 8274 Install

    Lock the brakes and let the truck dig in till the winch just about stalls. That will simulate being stuck or being tied off and pulling someone else out. If it does not bend then you may be alright but keep in mind that very seldom do you get a straight pull. Rolling 6011 with a 7018 filler is...

    A nubbie needs help

    If you bought it through G/L and did not preview it then it does not matter if the information was right or wrong. you bought it, period. You may have to pay the penalty or you could lose the whole amount as an abandonment. You may want to get that straight real quick! Do NOT assume you will...

    Abandoned Vehicle issue Government Liquidators

    If you sent a fax then there is a paper trail. Most fax machines give you a receipt and even if it did not there will be a trail through the phone records. He can deny he got it but you can prove you sent it. It seems you do this for a business so you must have a lawyer you can consult when...

    CUCV custom bumper

    You are going to have to make some spring adjustments with that and the winch. Otherwise you will be wearing out bump stops and lumbar joints.:roll: Rick

    Abandoned Vehicle issue Government Liquidators

    I find it curious that you have not made any mention of the wrecker company in all this. If in fact you did contact them about the truck then someone there holds at least part of the responsibility, a large part in my eyes. Have you used this company in the past? More than once? Will you use...

    Opinions everyone

    THAT will get you thrown in jail if you get caught!!!!! You cannot swap VIN plates. They are held on with special star rivets only available to the manufacturer so it will be obvious that it was changed. The body vin will no longer match the frame vin and there will be a lot of explaining to...

    What are you going to do with the one you won at Ft. Hood? You can't just walk away from it. Well you can but you won't get your money back. Rick

    MEP-003A Aux Fuel Hose Adapter

    Normal fuel line would be fine, you are not really pulling a vacuum per se. Regular fuel line in a car is good for at least 15 inches of vacuum and that is the old stuff, not the new expensive fuel injection hose. Pulling from a drum on the ground you may get one or two inches of vacuum. The...

    New Old Warn Winch 8274 Install

    No way is that setup going to hold that winch. Not only do you not have the pull strength on the bumpers but you are mounted way to high and you will have rotational force twisting the whole thing down. Ideally the fairlead should be between the frame rails. If not between then right above and...

    MEP-003A Aux Fuel Hose Adapter

    Just dropping the hose in the drum will work fine. If you are using the system as was intended the drum will fill the genny tank as the level drops in the tank. It will only draw from the drum as needed when the tank level drops so as long as the hose end is in the fuel in the drum you are good...

    M1008 VS M1028 for Fuel Ecconomy?

    I would love to even have access to it. There are reports of people stealing it from restaurant holding tanks. You have to have all kinds of permits to handle, move and store it here in NJ now. I was going to get them but now that people are charging for the waste oil I said the heck with it...

    manual transmission conversion kit available ?

    And as expensive as you can get! I don't understand doing a transmission swap into a truck where the transmission is worth ten times the value of the truck. A four speed, gears and overdrive is a tried and proven setup and all of that would cost a quarter of the price of the 6 speed. Unless you...

    M1008 VS M1028 for Fuel Ecconomy?

    Until winter when it will not run because the fuel turns solid. I am surprised it is running straight WVO. 6.2's do not generally like to run on anything but clean diesel. Rick
