    M1009 recovery with disastorous result

    Could they have been trying to commit some type of fraud? I have heard of people doing this to commercial van drivers. They pull in front of them and then slam on the brakes. When you hit them they sue you for injuries. Perhaps when the driver saw your van flip it spooked them off.... BTW...

    EUC time frame chart...need your info...

    I think as of 2 weeks ago they had a policy change in regards to the 60 day time frame... Keep the processing times coming guys... Trying to map out times based on item, location, and time frame. I have seen it done on another site for another approval process.

    waiting for the tow truck

    As I mentioned on page 5 of this thread that was exactly what was causing my M38a1 to do what your truck is doing. It is really difficult some times to find a fuel line with a splice in it. I hope that was the issue so you can get it on the road. :driver:

    What exactly is it that they do with your EUC submission when it arrives at Battlecreek? Do they check the information against of bunch of database information? If so why would EUC wait times be getting longer? I find it hard to believe that more us buying trucks are the cause, we a...
