    FYI. GovPlanet no longer allows partial payments on items $5k+

    Wasn't it posted when GP got the contract that they take 25% and the government gets 75% of the sale price ? Then they got the buyers premium to , but 2.5% credit card fees is 10% of their portion of the contract , so you can't blame them for limiting the amount. Just look in the classifieds...

    FYI. GovPlanet no longer allows partial payments on items $5k+

    Just have your bank put the first $5000 of the wire transfer on your credit card . I run a concrete construction company and we don't and never will deal with credit cards . It just isn't worth the credit card companies B.S. to take them .

    Sandman02ds The thing you are over looking in your write-up is when buying a HMMWV with a "Hold Harmless Agreement" , you enter into a contract with the government agreeing never to drive it on a public road.

    Issues with SF-97

    There are several more layers of red tape to go through to export a EUC item and they have to go through a licensed exporter. They also must go through the original EUC process.

    My CUCV Clone M0009

    They weren't all that rare when built , but they usually started rusting about the same time they left the lot. The big 3 used a lot of low grade recycled metal in the 1970's . here are the production numbers for the blazers ( but remember GMC had their version). 1973 Production Total: 44,841...

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    Well I used to drive a old ford 9000 with a 290 and a 18 speed pulling a 225 Cat excavator or a 5 axle lead dump , The truck was slow and you never stopped shifting but it was dependable and had close to 500,000 with no major engine work to it when the truck was parted out for a broken frame it...

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    I thought you were referring to turboed 250 cummins motors , 6.2's and VW motors are not really comparable . If you have a heavy truck and put a few thousand miles a year on it a 250 with a turbo probably will hold up , if you put a few thousand miles a week on it , it will have a short life.

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    How many miles did you put on those motors a year ?

    turboed 923 A1 ?

    The short answer is the 250 has no provision for oil squirters to cool the pistons , so you will end up with a short engine life. The civy 290 cummins is basicly a 250 cummins designed for a turbo. Searching Will Wagners posts will provide a lot of insight into cummins motors.

    Who has best price for set of front turn signals ?

    Cheapest isn't always best , you usually get what you pay for . It's worth a little more for good customer service, prompt shipping and quality parts. You want cheap go to a unnamed auction site.

    Goat front axle should turn freely in 2wheel correct ?

    Why would he need a front differential because his brakes were adjusted to tight ?
