    Does anybody even have a land line anymore?

    The high rates are because we are so rural. There are only 2 companies that handle our area, Verizon and US Cellular. The price I was quoting was actually what I found Verizon for (the company I'll use next), my old US Cellular service cost me over $90 a month for a national plan (including...

    EUC turn arounds do get faster

    From everything I've read on here, I thought once it went to BC the only thing I could do is wait. I don't even know how to contact BC, all I can find is GL's e-mail and customer service phone number, nothing on BC. Jim

    If you're still waitin on EUC

    Isn't it nice that they are going to return your money, that they've had tied up for 65 days keeping you from bidding on another truck, without penalty? Its very nice and big-hearted of them. Too bad about the truck, and good luck trying to get an extension. Maybe they'll find my EUC under...

    Progressive Insurance

    Oops...I'll have to correct that. For now I'll leave it until I get my Kentucky truck home. Its missing the data plates anyway, so I'll be more concerned with the DOT if I were ever stopped (for a vehicle in this weight class they require a data plate with weight info, must be original). My...

    Progressive Insurance

    One thing you might want to double check on- when you are asked the weight, its usually the GROSS weight they want. They don't care what it weighs empty sitting in your driveway, they are concerned with what it could weigh full loaded going down the highway. I know all of my insurances have...

    Does anybody even have a land line anymore?

    We have a landline for around $45/month. Compare that to two cell phones @ $60+ ea. (with fees & taxes) that MIGHT work SOMETIMES up here. I'll stick to my landline. Plus we used to need it for our internet connection before they finally got cable to our area. If we end up with different jobs...

    EUC turn arounds do get faster

    I must be an exception, my 5th EUC has been at BC for almost 45 days. I'm also waiting for #6, but thats *only* been 18 days. Jim

    Failed turbo install

    I agree...I have less than that into my Durango Cummins swap, including buying the entire part's truck the engine came from, a warrantied NV4500, new flywheel, clutch, and the rest of the parts. I think at last count we had around $3000 into it. Some places really screw you just because its a...

    won 1 winch truck in frankfort

    Nice buy! I stopped watching at the last minute because many were going plenty cheap for me...I was getting teased! I would kill for a winch truck up here. I was watching an M109 that was going pretty cheap too, said it ran. Jim

    Progressive Insurance

    One thing I'm not completely in agreement with. I understand the insurance company attempting to get out of covering an incident if you don't meet their policy 100%, they try to get out of everything for any reason. But if someone gives the company every bit of information they ask for...

    If you're still waitin on EUC

    Nope, I was just curious. I still feel its just a matter of chance, of which EUC they happen to grab next. They could very well be quite disorganized as well, and misplace batches of paperwork for long periods of time. That might explain why some events seem to go through quicker than others...

    Insuring a Maryland Deuce...

    I just posted this on the other insurance thread, but it might fit here better: I just signed up with Concord Group (NH company through my local agent). I told her it was a MV, gross weight 18k lbs, no limits to my personal policy. When I told her the weight she put me on hold while she checked...

    Failed turbo install

    Wow, it sucks that incompetent idiots can do that to someone. It looks like you can weld, you just didn't have the materials you needed. If it were me, I would go on ebay (or a local source if you have a race shop in your area) and get a variety of pre-bent exhaust pieces. I had to do this for...

    What states have you driven your deuce in?

    :driver: That will be me. I've been trying to find a co-driver, and thought I had one lined up, but his work schedule conflicts with the discount plane tickets I found, so no co-driver. For some reason my friends all want to work and stuff, instead of riding 20+ hours in a Deuce. Anyone on SS...

    Deuce Fuel

    With access to a shop such as you have, set up a drain bucket/filter system like I have and use all the ATF you can get your hands on. Diesels love the stuff, even regular diesels. It helps to clean the fuel systems and burns great. Just avoid the late model Mopar stuff, its synthetic and...

    NO EUC but brother has one. Advice

    Yea, when I bid on Deuces, I make a chart first showing the various options (hard top or soft, heater?, tires, condition, troop seats?, rear canvas?, etc.) Then put stars next to them to remind me with a quick glance which ones I like best. During the auction you may have seconds to decide...

    What states have you driven your deuce in?

    When I drove Beaubeau's Deuce home, I drove through PA, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Mass., and N.H. When I drive mine home, it will be the above states plus Ohio and Kentucky. Jim
