    GL no longer processing trailer titles ( m1101)

    Since I live in Florida, the two M1102's I bought from GL, are required to have a Bill of Sale to get registration & a tag only, since they are both under 2000 lbs. The title is a not going to happen deal, so there is not much more that I can do @ this point. A Bill of Sale is free, the Title in...

    Will an M1101 fit into the m923 bed?

    That would be a great way to come home from the auction as long as you have a way to get them back out again! Great picture, thanks!

    What's an acceptable daily voltage drop for a battery if the truck is just sitting?

    If you lose a volt a day, there is something seriously wrong in the battery/wiring system. The fact that you even have such a short term problem might warrent a main battery cutoff switch till you can find the real culprit. Make sure that the new main cutoff is keyed you you are also adding a...

    1987 deuce recovery

    What a great write up on your first recovery of a MV, the Green Iron Disease has a firm bite on you now. Your ability to adapt, overcome & persevere shows that this is the truck for you. This takes on a whole new meaning of a,"Pole Truck". Welcome & carry one!

    What do I have here?

    Sell it to anybody who can use it & get a M1101 or M1102 that your truck can handle in the weight department. The M105A2 has air brakes, weighs 2750 lbs & needs a larger truck to work it safely. The M1101/02 has surge brakes & weighs just 1470 lbs due to the aluminum body. I can pull the...

    MEP-802a not charging

    Not being an expert on battery charging, but shouldn't your voltage be around 27.5 to 29.0 vdc when the unit is running? 24.4 VDC is just the batteries charge showing, not the extra uumpf from the alternator showing that current is flowing to the batteries.

    Nasty Fuel System

    Thats because the trucks are built to Mil-Specs & this condition was probably thought of years ago, just not the sell off to the GP that is occuring again. They wanted the trucks to run under all conditions, including, sitting for long periods of time. We are lucky that we can continue to add to...

    Nasty Fuel System

    I got one of those trucks from auctionaddict that came from Warner Robins AFB back in March of this year & the tank was relatively clean on the bottom, but had that red stuff on the sides of the tank. The fuel pump works great, but it has not been pulled out to be closely inspected. During...
