    GovPlanet, one short day a week pickup times, Anyone else having this problem???

    I'm guesstimating that GP is doing an internal reshuffle since they're soon going to be a part of the Ritchie-Bro's family. "Understaffed" may be seen as "cost effective" from their view point but not keeping track of where items are being stored has no excuse. I had a M101 that was purchased at...

    Would you post pics of the truck as of late? I'm curious how the BEHR paint held up over the years.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It was a "fresh" RRAD overhauled truck then a forklift made a personal touch on the hood. It would never be straight even if it was sent to a fabricator..also the NOS hood was $150. :naner:The wrecker did most of the heavy lifting but getting it all back together right and tight was the trouble.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Got the NOS hood on finally. What a PITA! Now on to relocating the batteries if I can find a M915 style battery box.

    2 HMMWV- New Boston, TX to Roswell, NM

    If you're under a time crunch to get them off GP's lot I have room here in Bryan, TX. I have a M101 due for pickup there so my transporter may have room to get them too.

    Question about CARC

    Having used both numerous times I prefer the Behr. The color is closer, it's easier to prep & apply, and cleanup is much easier as well. The only down side is it's softer than the GCI when fully cured but I don't plan on driving through the brush with my clean truck. Plus on the up side you can...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Getting this thread back on track... I took the wrecker out for a spin this past week to stretch her legs. I got a call from a friend who was trying to load up a Swanson's truck that was hit bad on the passenger side and refused to move so I went over to lend a hand. 14K was the empty weight of...

    Engine stuck but worked loose

    Take a big pry bar to her, if you can get her to spin just a little it may be a dead spot in the starter from sitting. I had one truck exactly like this and the starter was at fault, bad everything from age. Worst case situation is two valves were left open and the rings are rusted to **** not...

    use a 10mm wrench on the back side of the injection pump and open the bleeder valve then pump away on the hand pump or... tap a schrader valve into the fuel tank cap and pressurize at max of 5 psi with that bleeder open. Wa-la! Fuel, primed, and on the road.

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    I see them too but won't hold my breath for them. They're 30+ days out and can be dropped in a split second..plus that batch will go sky high due to panic/demand. I'm just going to keep watching and waiting.

    4l80 swap into m114

    Patracy is doing this I believe. I too have been contemplating this but haven't sat down to compare it vs the stock transmission.
