    GL SUCKS!!!!!!

    If you send them what they ask for, keep checking your EUC status page and respond in a timely manner when they ask for something, I've not had the first problem with over 20 EUC's in the last year or so. GL is sometime slow to respond (or not). Like it or not, I feel it's my responsibility to...

    Synthetic oils

    We've done many hundreds of synthetic oil switch overs on all types of cars and trucks in the last 10 years and I can't remember a leakage problem we created by doing the switch over. I disagree that switching will cause a problem - it's really an urban legend. I can say from personal...

    Proper Installation of an Inverter

    I have a bunch of NEW Newmar 24v to 12v DC-DC power converters. 35 amp capacity. Have sold a bunch to SS members and to the boating crowd. Work great. PM for prices / shipping if interested. Don

    Bad lift job?

    Agreed on the new mushroom Mike. That's a center hub cap from an older 80's Chevy 4x4 pickup. I've got a set on the shelf in the shop. Gotta see how that would work?

    Anyone looking to buy from Mechanicsburg? I've inspected it

    It's tough to recommend a truck when I don't know what your needs & wants are? winch? Hardtop? dropsides? Yes on the appointment to view stuff at Mechanicsburg. You'll need to call (717) 605-2817 , and get on the schedule. Amanda is the person who normally answers the phone and handles...

    New GL Buy from Norman, Okla

    With so many trucks going at 1 time in 1 place, it looks like prices were right. I got another M35 (why) for $940 in Richmond. At least I hope that's what it is... the listing said M813 2.5 ton and the pics were of deuce. I suppose I can negotiate? :D

    M54 or M813 - What should I do?

    Thanks to all who have responded. I'm doing as much research as I have time for at this point. The 54 seller is getting flaky, so that might not be an option. Am willing to wait for the right truck. I ended up with another M35 today... doh, what was I thinking? Well, for $940 plus fees I...

    M54 or M813 - What should I do?

    Let me start this by saying that I am looking to step up and buy a 5-ton to go along with my bobbed deuce (and maybe one other keeper deuce). I've been looking at 813's and so far have not made the leap. I just got off the phone with a friend of a friend down in NC who has an M54A2 w/w that he...

    M105A2 vs M105A1 What the diff??

    Just towed two M105A2's back from Mechanicsburg, PA (120 miles) with my '95 3/4 ton Suburban and didn't even know they were back there. Couldn't get the pintle hitch high enough to get the trailer level, but it didn't seem matter. One of them is a 1958 Checker Cab built unit and it has the...

    Engine Question

    My butt was physically sitting in the seat of this truck TODAY. It was one that I previewed. Be happy to talk about it via PM. Disclaimer: I'm NOT in the market right now - wife said 6 Deuces in addition to the 7 civvy vehicles was enough for right now.As I said in another post, I looked...

    Anyone looking to buy from Mechanicsburg? I've inspected it

    If anyone is looking to bid/buy stuff currently at Mechanicsburg, I spent most of today and most of last Thursday out on the lot there and might be able to help you out. I don't think there's anything I'm going to bid on, but am more than willing to give you my impression of what I saw. I've...

    (Road Trip) PA to NC and Back

    I don't suppose I could talk you into picking up an M105 at Mechanicsburg and meeting me somewhere west of DC (northern VA) to drop it off?

    How many dueces

    I could believe that the "flood" of deuces might indicate that they're being flushed out of the system. Spoke to a GL rep last week when I was picking up an M105 and he said they were filling up the Annville, PA lot for a future sale. Also said that Meade was going to get another big batch...

    AVM vs Ouverson: take a closer look!

    So... no response to the above. I'll suggest again - why don't we all go get a soda pop and find something more important to do - like work on our trucks. Ouverson = good guy and good product. AVM = Good product and JT good guy. So far no broken parts pictures.......... With all due respect...

    M105 followed me home

    Murphy apparently was on vacation yesterday as this M105 followed me home uneventfully. Drove up to Mechanicsburg, PA, hooked the trailer to my 3/4 ton Suburban, threw on some tow lights and hauled a$$ home. Ran 65mph and didn't even know the trailer was back there! The trailer has virtually...
