Looks like the Go Dov chapter in these truck's lives may be over, Eastern Surplus & Equipment ( a supporter of this site ) just bought (the remaining?) 60 of these ... Good luck Dave! Quite a commitment.
Here's a pic of these trucks over at Ft Carson not more than a year ago. Looks like a creampuff to me. Thanks to Lionel for providing intel that indeed these trucks have age related issues.
I have driven COUNTLESS trucks that were freshly excessed from Army service hundreds of miles for FDs...
Thank you for that report. Although you rained on my parade, it is far better to know this up front then after spending 10 grand thinking you were getting a creampuff.
In the pictures at Pennsylvania and Colorado, the trucks look like they were just recently taken out of everyday SF training ops, unlike the lot rot GP units which have sat for decades.
Yes but the '95s would have been factory equipped with GM engines, and the '02's with GEPs, but either could have been repowered with either at reset. The GEP engine is greatly improved over the GM, although both are just fine.
Looks like a handful more of these found new homes yesterday 2/21/19. Reserve looks to be $8500. Getting tempting ...
Question for the lucky buyers, did yours have a GM or GEP engine?
