Need mechanical help Camp Shelby, MS

[GIJoeCzar]

Hello,

I'm looking for someone with the mechanical experience, tools, time, and geographic location to pay to attempt to get a M932A1 truck that I won at Camp Shelby, MS into running condition. I'm looking to pay someone to:

- Install two Walmart batteries (I can easily walk you through this)
- Check all fluid levels and top off where needed
- prime fuel system (I can easily walk you through this)
- Attempt to fire up truck and test operability (transmission, brakes, lights, etc.)

Photos of this truck can be seen at:

This was a fairly recent rebuild, so I'm hoping that she's in decent shape.

Please email or call me if you can help or know of someone (or a business) that can help. Again, I'm not looking for a "favor"; I want to pay someone to do this.

Thanks,

Joe

Joe you looking to get the truck back to TX or WI?

PM CSMDAVIS......or look for his post......I just got off the phone with him......he is available for hire to assist people who have purchased these vehicles.

This was a fairly recent rebuild, so I'm hoping that she's in decent shape.

Don't bet the farm on it....most of these vehicles have been sitting several years.

Richard,

Preferably Texas, but Wisconsin would work just fine too! Here's the video of the truck:

Are you possibly going to be down in that neck of the woods anytime soon?

Wreckerman893,

Thanks for the tip; does CSMDAVIS live near Camp Shelby? Roger on the truck sitting, but I've been at this for quite some time and have found that the trucks sitting isn't the real issue, the real issue is what problems the trucks have that you can't see (bad transmission, froze motor, etc.). I routinely bring trucks back from Hawaii and the VERY BEST batch that I got from there were three USMC Barstow rebuilt M813A1's that had been sitting for SEVEN years -- each one fired right up and drove fine (after about five minutes of black smoke belching out down H1) Again, thanks for the tip!

I may be going to the GA rally in a few weeks.

what are your plans for it?

He does....he is working as a contractor for GL.

He'll prob be at the base every weekday.

Richard - Trust I'd love for YOU to be the guy who I pay to do this.

Derrickl112 - I plan to keep it.

Does yours need an oil pump like most of them? Why did GL list so many of these trucks as needing an oil pump? I suspect CSMDavis got carried away with cut and paste on the descriptions.

If you are going to drive it back, especially through TX, better make sure you put some mud flaps on those rear tires. I was stationed at FT. Hood and dropped a trailer at FT. Sam Houston and got pulled over by TX DPS for not having mud flaps on my M818. Had to sit there for eight hours until my unit came with a set.

Jeff is just a contractor for GL.....the descriptions and videos are handled by the GL staff at Shelby.

There were some errors on this batch of trucks........I saw a video of a truck my buddy won and it did not match the description or still pics posted on the site. Bottom line is that there are hundreds of trucks there and mistakes are going to happen.

If I were going to buy one of these trucks I would preview in person or pay someone to do a through preview for me....it would be money well spent.

Without going into detail I can tell you that there are some diamonds in that pile of coal and if you do your homework you can get a good deal on a truck.

Okay now that the auction is over I can say what's up and not have someone get his panties in a wad these trucks are at a rebuild facility and have been checked by them and stored then periodically they'd go through and try to fire them up by slave cable and this is how they would pick the trucks to rebuild, so what's written about them does have merit, do I or anyone else down there make mistakes, heck yeah. But if I buy one of these trucks I will plan on replacing anything that is listed as bad, there's some really nice trucks down here and some junk I hope all the ones bought by our membership are great.

What time frame are you looking at having this done? Reason I'm asking is I'm at work now and won't be home for a couple more weeks. I live about an hour North of Camp Shelby and have the means to do what you're asking. Never been to the DRMO down there and I'm wanting to start buying MV's from GL at Shelby. I just got my first MV (85 M1009) and now my wife want one. I traded an old car I had to an individual for mine. If it must be done in less than two weeks I won't be able to help. Just let me know either way.
