The a3 was an attempt to update the fleet without buying all new trucks. They took 2 or 3 a2s and stripped them down and reassemble them into one a3 truck. I believe the project ended up costing more than buying new trucks so the effort was scrapped. Luckily for those of us who like the a2s...

Will your state issue you a temp registration tag without a title? You will be awarded the truck and have to pick it up at least 4 weeks before you even get the paper work you need to title the vehicle.

Osh-kosh does the same thing to old concrete mixers. Take an old mixer, refurb it and re-title as a new vehicle. The manufacturer is the origination so they determine the year of manufacture regardless of whether they are using recycled parts. If you rip down an old house to build a new one you...

GL doesn't care about damaging them by moving them around... they smash stuff up all the time. When they drain them they drain everything... there was a group of trucks sold in New Jersey last fall that didn't have a drop of fluid in them anywhere. One of our members (Nhdiesel) bought one and...

You should deck the one without the steering box on the runner and drive it back.... I have been looking for somebody to try decking a deuce on a deuce and then share all the "what not to dos" :grd:

You probably will not be towing it off base with a pickup.... I really doubt they will let that happen. The brake system is hydraulic, you do not need air pressure for them to work, they just will not work well. You also do not need air pressure to release the parking brake, it is just a hand...

The FDC doesn't matter. It will run on other fuels anyway... most any diesel (that is lacking all the computer garb) will run on motor oil etc.... That is why a diesel will "run away"... it sumps oil out of the oil pan and that keeps it from being shut off... If your FDC is bypassed you will...

There is a GL section to this forum. Drop in there and read through some of it so you can get an idea of what you will be getting into. Bidding and winning something through GL is not always as simple as one would think. Definitely preview, sometimes they use file photos and what you bid on is...

If it runs fine once started on ether I don't think bleeding the system is your solution... you have something else going on. It could be the in tank pump or you have a check valve stuck open that is allowing the system to drain back.

Ease of getting it titled is state specific.... some states don't even require a title, some make you jump through all kinds of hoops. Sometimes GL messes up the paper work and it can take 3,4,5 months to get it all worked outaua

I did ;) As far as I am concerned the only safe place to bleed the fuel system is at the fuel filter... the rest should not be messed with especially if you are posting a first post on a forum asking for advise on how to do it. We don't have any background information on this one... we don't...

Working on the fuel delivery system is best left to the pros. Parts of it operate at extremely high pressures and can inject diesel fuel into you just like a needless vaccination gun or slice you wide open.

The east coat trucks have been closing close to 3 K lately.... then you have a 60 day wait for your first EUC on it. It is a complete gamble on condition. I bought two back in October and one was in perfect operating condition and the other (the one in my avitar) needed tranny work, IP...

I think when you are actually filling it in and the instruction balloon pops up it says something about a bidder number...

Will not hurt to flush it, but keep in mind that the radiator is a heat exchanger.... if the top is hot the thermo is open. The bottom should be cooler than the top because the water that reaches the bottom should of had the heat driven out by the air flowing through. My deuce spits up coolant...

You can put None. I usually fill in the intended purpose, but that is not necessary and sometimes GL will kick it back to you if you put anything other than "None"

I don't see lockers giving you any more advantage in winter driving that a set of Tire chains would not give you more cost efficiently. That is providing that chains are legal in your state. I have never driven on snow/ice with lockers, but I would surmise that in a turn they would make the...

Wow... So much for that theory that they are tough enough to be pushed out of a copter, flipped onto their wheels and driven away.

You want an m35a2c for around the farm. The link you listed looks like a good buy on one. The "C" indicates that the side of the bed flops down which is really handy if you need to put a pallet of anything on the truck with a fork lift.

My truck buying experience with GL has been 50/50. I previewed both trucks twice prior to bidding and one did not have a thing wrong with it when I got it home. The second looked better than the first, but needed minor trans work, had a leaking axle seal, poor brakes, needs an alternator, IP is...
