    Vaccum pump for 6.2l

    Amen to that--- I have been out of NJ for almost ten years now yet I still do regular business with a small parts shop in Old Bridge, NJ. Carl, the owner, is a real old school guy (the kind where you can show them a part and almost hear a rolodex clicking inside their head) with actual catalogs...

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    I knew Ron for a while. He was one of my drivers when I made the big move out west to NE from NJ back in 2010/2011. He had a can-do attitude and a good sense of humor, and I enjoyed our exchanges...... He will be missed.........

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    One more thing--- look at the sheer quantities of stuff GL sold off in a given week during their contract-- in the last 6 months of their contract, GL averaged just over 1000 pallets/triwalls of stuff sold off all over the country each week-- this diddn't even count non-palletized lots. Now...

    Hurricane rescue Build

    Personally, I would have to agree with those who said not to use the m1083 or other fmtv/lmtv variants----- there is too much in those trucks that can go wrong at the most inopportune time (not to mention costly to fix)......... take your time and plan out the truck---- there are a lot of good...

    Hurricane rescue Build

    There is only so much you can do to seal up a deuce cab against the weather----and if you are in flood waters, you are getting wet regardless... As for costs, if you are diligent with hunting down components yourself (i.e. on ebay, etc.) and aren't against the clock, you could upfit a deuce for...

    Hurricane rescue Build

    Call me old fashioned but I am going to draw on years of experience doing water rescues when I lived out east as well as experience with upfitting trucks for rescue agencies. In my opinion, a deuce would be my platform of choice for water rescues. The primary reason is that they have manual...
