    the deuce is home

    Yes, this truck was on the hold list. The site manager said GL told them to release any trucks regardless of the hold status with a paid in full invoice. I asked what was the hold over and he could offer no answers. My truck did not have any stickers on the dash in reference to being tested...

    what battery level to crank?

    My dad who works on Ft. Campbell went to look at our deuce today (hauling it home thursday). Overall It appears to be in good condition. If the battery is indicating that it is at the bottom of the yellow can it still power turn signals and just not be strong enough to turn the starter? The...

    60 Hz Right?

    I'm not worried about neighbors my cabin is in the middle of 110 acres. Last year we had an ice storm that left us without power for 11 days, some people down the road were without for several weeks. My monthly average power consumption is 400 KWH, so I figure a 5-10 KW should power my cabin...

    GL Incompetence strikes again........

    I am 100% behind you chief. I know am new here and to MV's biu in all my dealings few operations have been as bad as GL. I'm not even talking about the EUC process(which is a load of crap). That I realise is out of their hands. But when you send someone a money order you expect a recipt...
