Mk18 / Mk18a1 According to the Oshkosh website, and several references online, the Mk18 and Mk18a1 are indeed Ribbon bridge transports, but they also load and unload ISO standard 20 foot containers as well. In fact the ribbon bridge and support equipment are put on to or mimic the 20 foot...

Ridiculous! Thats ridiculous... to threaten to arrest you guys for doing what NEEDS to be done... what a nightmare. I've also only had good experiences with GL lot employees, they have ALWAYS tried to help... glad that they are doing so on these vehicles too...

Drive Line Balance? I've read and have both the general maintenance procedures TM, and the Parts Manual, but have found not references to drive line timing? Do you have a procedure or TM you can point us MK48 owners to? Thanks in Advance!

FYI on SF-97s Hey all, I attempted over the weekend to do my SF97 request on the MK48 and trailer. When I placed my invoice # in, it said the request had already been made. Despite borderline freaking out... I contacted GL this morning... Since the sale was in Jacksonville, due to some...

Releases Hey since the Mk48s are now being released, could we get a specific section of Steel Soldiers for them? There should be massive amounts of information starting to come out and be shared with these units hitting the ground. I'd volunteer to help with that section of the board in...

Huge thanks! WOW, guys if you haven't had Wreckerman help on a pickup, I can tell you he knows his stuff is most importantly, IS ABOUT HOW STUFF GETS DONE, NOT WHY IT CAN'T BE! How many times do people say what can't be done... instead of how it can. He is in Jacksonville pickup of our Mk48s...

Mk17 Well if anyone else finds a Mk17 trailer they don't need let me know! Or a Mk15... Hey a guy can dream!

Thanks! We all owe Andy a big thanks... his coordination is really making this effort and excellent example... and Wreckerman's expertise on the ground will be invaluable... takes a lot of anxiety out of the situation!

Check Check you state laws... In Indiana and Ohio and I believe KY, the CDL specifically states FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES and defines it as being paid to drive. Therefore you don't need any CDL to drive a unit...

Miles I don't care to put the miles on mine anyway... miles = maintenance... and I'd rather be having fun with those miles...

Quote Talked to my broker today, and told him the prices were over what we expected... After talking directly to him found out the problem... he quoted all removable gooseneck trailers (the kind i need for my tanks) all there on the same day. He may rebid, but we should continue onward! Thanks!

Update Hey all, Yep, it may make the drive down, but I don't think I'll do the trails with her! Ok, on the transport... here are the costs: This is roll on / roll off... coordinated so all trucks are there same day... roll trailer and same day made the numbers a little more than I expected...

Richmond Due to the trucks having to go by me to get to St. Louis, I'm sure I'll have mine come direct to me... I'm more east and not far from I-75...

Awesome Wreckerman, totally understand! Hey while they're at it, have them find me a nice Mk15 and Mk17 rear unit! LOL

Good News Wow, thats good news!

Shipping My broker is working to have all vehicles there on a single day. I think you covered the info really well Wreckerman... one thing that may be important is if the unit is currently attached to the trailer. For shipping, they will need to be attached. The trailer is unmovable so I've...

Wisconsin? Does anyone know the Wisconsin buyer? I have yet to hear from him / them... I need an address soon.. they are working on quotes now...
