    Hotshot Transportation Co. - looking for loads

    Hey Hotshot, Can you give me a quote on a transport of a running 5-Ton M923A2 from Sparta, WI to Ft. Worth, TX. It's just over 1000 miles. Pick up date would be the week of March 18th. Thanks!

    Gotcha! You ever hear of anyone taking off the speed governor? I don't intend on making mine a "hot rod" as you say, but some more mph on the highway would be nice.

    Hmmmmmm, now you got my thinking, ha ha. Obviously, I don't plan on driving it on a regular basis but the MPG for the 5-Ton is absolutely awful. I might sacrifice the nicer feel of the 5-Ton to the more efficient engine of the deuce. Something to ponder... I appreciate your 2 cents. I'll...

    Lucky that you have some land! We live in your typical neighborhood, so I'm gonna have to store the truck elsewhere. Mine will mostly be for towing my fiancee's horse to shows. I've already looked into some ball-hitch mounts on different threads on this forum. It seems like an easy addition...

    Kevin, thanks for the buying advice. I do need to do more homework. I have 4-5 trucks on my wishlist on Govliquidation.com. They were all driven to the lot and run. I realize putting my hands on the truck would be best, but I'm still in Afghanistan and will be for another 8 months. I live...

    Firefighter veteran looking to buy a M923

    Good to hear I have someone close to me! Is there any specific reason you sold your 5-Ton to get a 2.5? I checked out John Colwell's site. I'm looking for a truck that I'm not going to have to do much restoration on. His lots seem to be pretty run down. He is close to me, so I might have to...

    I'll check the classifieds! Who typically insures this type of vehicle? I'll look into it, thanks.

    Hello all, I served in the Air Force for 4 years. Got out in '02 and became a firefighter. I'm in Afghanistan right now and have been for the last 3 years, as I work for the DOD as a contract firefighter. I worked at the motor pool in the AF and fell in love with the 2.5 and 5 ton trucks...
