    Another Tatra 813 joins the ranks

    Nice truck, I love the crane in the back. I love MVs with cranes. :-D:-D Is the truck a runner or do you have a lot of work to do? The best feeling is when the machine gets home and you take it out for a spin without having to do any major work. My son and I plan to visit the UK in the fall...

    Hi from Coquitlam, BC

    Welcome to the site, if you want a shop truck look at an M109. Look at the Idaho Motor Pool site for a good dealer.

    Need info on wrecker 543 or 816

    Thanks for the info, it was really helpful. I guess I will go with the 543A2. I will be buying it from a MV dealer, I can't buy from GL. Thanks everyone for the info. I hope to join the ranks of the 5Ton club soon. In our area 5 ton wreckers are scarcer then hen's theeth.

    Finding U6TL Battery

    The big deal with the the U6tl's is not the CCA but the length of time it takes to drain the battery. A standard battery with 850 to 1100 CCA has only about 125 min drain time , the U6's have 2.5 hrs drain time in other words a fully charged U6 will take 2.5 hrs to completely drain versus 1.5...

    Practical uses for a Deuce

    The reason I gave my wife after she mentioned that I had too many trucks(13), I asked her how much a fully decked our Harley Davidson costs. Who's needs an excuse or a valid reason. Owning an MV is like being on drugs you try it once and you can't wait to buy another truck.
