EXACTLY! I called East Penn / DEKA and tried to buy some 6TMF's using my wholesale company name and ID. I was told that by the branch manager that without a military purchase order that listed what unit number the batteries were going in to, they could not sell to me. Oh Well. You can get...

Bruce, I thought it might be you! Just so you could claim the largest fleet! :D

Wouldn't surprise me. They've had flatbeds picking up trucks at Meade 3 of the last 4 times I was there to pick up or inspect. They bid up the last couple rounds of 5 tons pretty bad there also.

That seems like a pretty big undertaking. I wish you luck. Let's see, that sound like you'll be taking: 21 fuel filters 35 gallons of gear oil 35 gallons of diesel 3-4 quarts of DOT 5 7 gallons of 15W-40 14 gallons of anti-freeze lots of rags lots of tools ........... Anyone else have any...

Ok, now I see it! Invisible brand new super single XL's, air-o-matic steering, an extended power train warranty, AND free delivery! I missed all that before. AND Sarah the GL rep will take you out to lunch when you pick up your truck!

There must be some mighty fine Deuces at Ft Meade today. Prices into the high 2k and low 3k range with an hour to go. What did I miss? :?:

What about 5 ton? The Deuce in the first post, "ROTC 2" is very nice. Came from Virginia Military Institute - one of three they used for training. They were maintained very well. I've got "ROTC 3". It is for sale. Trucks look great!

Thanks guys. Looks like I'm going south sooner than expected and can pick up the items myself. :D

It appears that I might need someone to pick up several pallets of stuff at Ft. Bragg in the next week or two and keep it for a couple of weeks (outside is fine) until I can get down there. Anyone? Thanking you in advance. :driver:

Can't you get Amanda or Mike at Mechanicsburg to extend your date until you can find someone? They've worked with me on many occasions. I'm going to be there within the next week, but will have my trailer with me to puck up some AC units. I might be able to put it up on the car trailer, but...

LOOKS GREAT! Now I want some for the 813..... Where (if I may ask) did you obtain said tires/wheels? :drool:

Some of the site managers are pretty nice and will let you slide on pick-up dates. 2 months might be a little long. You also have to worry that a specific site manager won't be there as long as you want to delay your pick up. You might also be able to get another SS member to pick up for you.

Very easy way to fix this problem Mike. Buy an 813. Swap the 11.00's to your deuce. Put 14.00 super singles on the 813. Problem solved.

...or you could put a 24v to 12v DC-DC power converter under the seat and run 2 wires (12v) to the rear box. Eliminates possible uneven charging of your batteries. Putting a separate battery in the rear will require that it get charged somehow. I've got mil spec dc-dc converters, 35 amp...

If you get pissed now and the parts are there when you go to get it, you'll be happy right ? I had a compressor and an alternator go missing recently - so it's not just the loose parts anymore. I went yesterday and "secured" all the loose stuff on 2 trucks I recently won even though EUC's not...

Do you need a CDL if you register an M809 series at 25,999 lbs? Say an 813? Cause if if you've gotta have one for an 809 series I better get moving on it. :shock:

One of the Deuce fleet has had it's compressor and alternator/generator removed by someone who thought they needed them more than I did. I have an extra Alternator but need the brackets that were taken. I also need a compressor. Any help is appreciated. I hate thieves.

Agreed that they might go to selling all scrap, but that would also reduce their income considerably. A little like cutting off your nose to spite your face for them. Don't think that will happen.

14? Really? I thought I had it bad. 8- M35's, 2 M813's, 3-M105's, 1-M101, 1-MEP-003A, 21-Mermites in the last year. Don't scrap any unless they are terminal. Motor or something like that.

That gear oil is the newer mil spec hyplo-hygroscopic synthetic type. It's only used in a limited amount of motor pools. Service life is unfortunately not too good. I believe the new Mil Spec # is MIL-H20-N-80w90-MIX-2 Mainly used in those trucks that run without a cab top. If I were you...
