I bought the truck with a LOW bid and unseen.
Me too, but I got lucky on the truck, it is a keeper. I was fortunate enough to find a base mechanic who checked out the truck for me after I bought it and before my EUC was approved, the "no start" condition was a loose dogbone and one bad battery. He met me when I picked it up and jump started the truck for me. It had almost a full tank of diesel, so I drove it 240 miles home on GI fuel, ran out of fuel about 150' up my 200' driveway!
As for the EUCs, my first one on the truck took about 2 weeks to be approved. My second one, for two engines from Columbus, took about 3 months! Go figure!
