Thanks for all of the kind words. I bought the truck from GL for $3200 plus the 10%. I figured I'd come out way ahead because I know the M925A2s bring $25K+ if you can find a clean one. Well, the motors for those trucks are VERY rare if you want a military motor. I did not want a civilian...

...pictures (sorry)...

...AFTER...

I purchased this M925A2 from GL in January 2006 and am just now getting her home. Before you think, "Wow, I don't remember that truck ever coming up," it did not look like this when I bought it. I will attach before and after pictures. The truck was missing the motor, transmission, steering...

I have towed two M332s simultaneously so towing the M332 and kitchen trailer can be done, but 55 mph is a no-no. They pull fine at around 50 mph or less. Be careful with sudden lane changes as, once you get that train wagging back and forth, it is very dangerous! I was being VERY, VERY...

Make sure the little red button is not pushed in. If it is not pushed in, and you still are having problems, try installing another wiper motor if you have one. The wiper motor in the truck might be bad.

The cool thing about the Allisons is you can choose what gear you are in the uphift by shifting manually (moving the automatic shift lever up to the next gear). Basically, you can control the range of gears you could be in... R N 1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 I absolutely love the Allison autos and...

I would bet it is active duty. Perhaps, the truck just back-filled his load to make a little more coin.

You should be able to tag an M809 series truck as historic, too, since all (I believe) were made more than 25 years ago. I believe they stopped making them in 1981, but maybe David Doyle can chime in to confirm this. To each his/her own, but I would choose an M939 series truck over any of the...

I take the HEMTT through town every time one of those anti-war crowds gathers to protest. Usually, a bunch of veterans and their supporters gather on the opposite corner. I pass them honking and showing my support. It is great to see the wind leave the sails of the hippie crowd when they see...

RE: forgot one more I know the FMTVs have had their teething problems, but I think they are pretty cool looking. I'd be willing to own one for sure...

I had an M928A1 that I could not give away for $12000. That was way too cheap for such a truck. I wish I had never parted with the truck. Joe Young once sold one for $8500. I'd probably say they will bring $8-10K.

Singling the truck out will result in better fuel economy (because of the larger tires), higher road speed, better off-road traction and less drag on pavement as GIMPYROBB says. David Doyle has written about single vs. dual wheel performance.

I wish I could relocate the web site, but I once stumbled across an active duty soldier's site that showed pictures of two HEMTT wreckers pulling a tractor-trailer combo up an icy mountain road in, I believe, Bosnia. Why two HEMTT wreckers to pull one tractor-trailer combo up the hill you might...

Damon, if I can send any pics of my truck to assist in your reassembly, please let me know. Also, I was talking to Tommy Craig last night and he said he can probably help you find some of the parts that you need. He might even know where a cargo bed is. They are rare so, if he knows where one...

Some of the older trailers had electrical connections for a military or civilian tractor. Ask WESTFOLK about this.

By the way, I am by no means a dealer. I just happen to have a serious addiction to all things green and a patient wife. If you followed me around, you'd end up with a nice truck, because I usually simply try to get my money out of them.

James, I understand these are public auctions, but you are wrong to think that, just because they are public, everyone knows about them. I have missed items on these public auctions because I was not watching as carefully as I should have been. Had someone turned me onto the fuel truck that...

Why would you advertise it if you were planning to bid on it? If you are looking to give away money, PM me so I can give you my address. I would bet we'll be competing on it...no worries...you'll probably outbid me...I need to figure in shipping to MD.

I take it from your last post that you are not going for the fuel truck. Otherwise, I doubt you would have posted about it. Thanks for increasing my competition on the truck.
