    Axle Seal Gremlins!

    You may be right but I thought he had a bober. :-?

    Axle Seal Gremlins!

    :ditto: There is no need for an outer seal either on the front but I have seen them installed from the military. Guess it may help to keep water out of the bearings if it gets past the boots but other than that there is nothing to seal on that end.

    Deuce wipers

    I'm going to have to go with Kenny and Bjorn. I like the air. To me the electric motor looks like it doesn't belong there and was an afterthought (accually it was :-D). Sure they sound loud if the engine isn't running but the engine does a pretty good job of covering up the noise while going...

    GL Incompetence strikes again........

    I know they have the same protections but I'm like BFR. Seems it would be better to have fraudulent charges on a credit card than it would be a debt card. I'm figuring Visa is going to be faster getting it worked out if it's their money (because you don't have to pay fraudulent charges) than...

    How to get a 2.5 home?

    I always haul mine home. Less risk that way. IMO you can go over the truck real good but it's still a 40 year old truck that you know near nothing about.

    Got my Winch on!

    You did shim the PTO didn't you? If you just added a gasket and bolted it on I'd check it before I ran the truck much.

    Do I Really Need All This Grease!

    Some say add the grease and some say don't. When I did mine I put the grease back in there. I was worried about the thrust washer lubrication. The military must have thought the grease needed to be there too. When I tore mine down the housing was full of grease.

    How Much $ For A Rear Axle?

    Not near as much as a front axle. I've seen them sell for $200. I've got a couple of extra also but have decided for no more than they bring I will just keep them for parts. You hardly ever hear of a gear or something going down but if something major happens to the axles under your truck it...

    Where to go for winch repair parts?

    I have a couple of winches that I've dismantled for parts. Let me know what you may need. I may have it. I also have the NAPA part number for the bearings.

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    I'm sure GL is just as mad about this as the people here are. All this is just a big hassle for them. Sure, they are still holding your money but I bet if you asked them they would cancel the sale and refund your money. GL has a bunch of problems but their hands are tied on this one because they...

    +1 for Ft. Campbell

    It would have been either Jay or Jason. Jay is the head guy and Jason works under him. They are both good guys and will help you out any way they can. Jay is also over the Ft. Knox and Frankfort sites. I know there has been some problems at these sites but he stays in Ft. Campbell and has people...

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    Nobody had to turn their trucks in and in the blink of the eye the trucks were back just like nothing has ever happened. It had even been almost forgoten untill this came up. There have been many "glitches" in the supply line over the years. There was the hold mentioned, the fired case ban, to...

    Is this even legal?!

    I bet the guy has never seen the truck in person. If anybody bids on this truck they are crazy. I figure he's just going by the GL discription on the condition of the truck and we all know how that can turn out. The least you can do if you are flipping trucks is to atleast recover the truck. If...

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    It is my understanding that you are supposed to tell the buyer the terms of the EUC and he is supposed to abide by the terms of the EUC which would include him keeping track of who he sold it to and on down the line. I'm pretty sure there is no legal way to do this especially if it is...

    what number to use

    You will use the Serial Number. It should look something like this 0525-11253. That is also the number that is stamped in your front drivers side frame rail. Post up your SN and your registation number (if you have it) and we can tell you what year it is.

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    Well I can understand them pulling the trucks. They have every right to. It's all in the "Terms and conditions". What is really bad though is they are holding people's money while they figure this out. I think is was a bad deal when GL stopped making you pay for the truck AFTER the EUC cleared...

    ATF mixed with diesel

    There are still some truck stops around here that still offer low sulfur diesel. Don't figure it will be for much longer though.

    Highway drive caused fuel trouble

    :ditto: The tank doesn't have to be all that low either.

    Is GL actually a Used Car Dealer?

    They are considered a car dealer by the state of FL if I remember right. That's why the issue FL titles. They have a contract with the Government to sell military surplus property. The Government sells the property to GL (if only on paper) and then GL auctions it off.
