So, picked up my truck at auction... Got a good deal knowing it was a gamble... and .... here.... we... go...!
So, couple small issues.
Air leaks down pretty quick. I will have to put shop air on it and spray all fittings with soapy water. Pretty easy way to diagnose.
Also sounds like there...
They're not. They don't chase. They don't issue tickets.
Literally, all the criminals and tweakers have taken off their license plate or display a fictitious temporary (paper) plate. The only people getting penalized are law abiding citizens, since they stop. The others drive like idiots and...
It gets better.
They told me sometimes it'd crank and not start... Classic air leak in the fuel line in a 30+ year old truck... So when they listed it, they made it sound like it wasn't running. So I was fully expecting to have to replace a bunch of stuff just to get it to start... and one of...
This only applies to a resident.
This is why I suggest putting vehicles in a Trust, out of state. A trust is not a resident of the state, AND serves a legitimate and lawful purpose (estate management). An LLC has to have a function, and an LLC that solely exists to hold a vehicle so it can be...
I paid for it.... I think I got a steal.. $7100.... I'm thinking there's at least that much in parts in it if there's major issues.

I've been yelling about shills since the takeover by Ritchie Bros.
Virtually overnight, the number of defaulting bidders and trucks that were relisted a month later went off the charts.
Trucks went from $500 start and ending at 6-8K, to $4500 start and ending at 12-13K, again, virtually...
My intent is to live full time in a box... :D
I had an M934, but realized the box was a waste as to design around the folding out sides was dumb. So I sold it.
Here I am a couple years later and my how prices have changed. $4500 for a 5 ton? HA! They're 3x that now, easily.
I ended up...
How much can the trailer flex and still maintain connection? Maximum angle of attack? That kind of stuff. Looking through the TMs and not finding much on the 931. I'm debating on a M923 with a 14' van body in lieu of the bed, vs an M931 with something like an M129 or M146.
