    Painted the m998 today, Gettin ready for Durhamtown !!

    The SW paint you are talking about, is abrasive to the paint gun & very sensitive to moisture in the air when exposed to air. Its great paint for the price & needs a primer to grab to. Even mixing it requires it to be sealed away from atmospheric moisture, according to SW instructions for use. I...

    New guy from Iowa hey

    Welcome aboard from warm sunny Florida! A no title vehicle can wind up as a yard ornament or a farm truck that never can go on the highways. Check with your DMV to be sure before plunking down your hard earned cash!

    New M923A2 Owner

    Very nice truck for your first one. There are some upholstery shop for boats that can resew the canvas top if you want to go that route. Your girlfriend will get used to it when she sees how much fun it can be, it just takes time (some more than others). Welcome to the obsession! Be safe!

    Alternator Rebuild

    Rebuilding a GM alternator is not hard, I have done several several of them back when I owned a GM vehicle. The paper clip trick for the brushes is a must to get the case halves back together without damaging the brushes. Carry on...

    Pick up in Ohio and OK

    I have a similar problem with auctions @ these locations. Fasttrack will round up your auction winnings, make sure they are okay to ship & ship them for very high prices, ($200.00 to $250.00 for 200 pound pallets) I have access to several shipping companies that will give more favorable rates...

    How NOT to unload your MEP-002a!

    If he lost acid out of the battery, he would want to increase the level of acid/water above the plates before charging. He would not want to add straight acid to the battery since it is too concentrated for a discharged battery. Correct me if I am wrong...

    Newbie looking for info/people familiar with the MEP 002a and others

    It depends on where you are located, folks located further west seems to get great pricing vs us in the eastern side of the US. Keep looking @ the auctions & classifieds here & you will find what you need. Good luck & Happy Thanksgiving Day to you & yours.

    How NOT to unload your MEP-002a!

    Don't add water to the batteries before you charge them, add it after charging, so that you won't overflow the electrolyte. If they are maintenance free, disregard this info! You still got a killer deal on a really great shape genset!

    How NOT to unload your MEP-002a!

    It's letting it sit there for ten years or so with condensation & other stuff that rusts out the tanks. Gimpy called that one right!

    How NOT to unload your MEP-002a!

    I second your motion as to the price range. Good thing the genset didn't break your leg or trap you under it in the fall! The unit looks in great shape & the fuel tank looks NEW! What good luck!

    Trucks from Atlanta Truck Center

    I've not won a powered vehicle out of Atlanta (not for the lack of trying), but have pulled several M1102's out with zero problems. The GL crew is very good to deal with & helpful if you need it. DLA NAS JAX has a couple of trucks out in the last few months, but they were ruff to say the least...
