Won my first A3 on GL today

[KsM715]

Ft Riley does loadouts Tue. Wed. and Thurs. only. If need be they can be stored at my place. Im about 30 min East of Ft Riley. Glen is about 45 min to an hour west. Glen usually has the time and definately the experience to recover the trucks if you guys get in a bind. I could assist in the recovery but dont think I could do it on my own.

Thanks Jeff. I'm trying to put things together that I might need on the trip that I can take on a plane. Lists of wreckers in the area if I need a jump or tow, tools that can make it through security, and figuring out how I can get from Atlanta to Ft. Riley. I am shooting for Sept. 20th. Thanks for the offer.

Tolled the old lady yesterday about the A3 i bought last week, she just does not understand - you already have one A2, why do you need another truck? Man oh man. It is WHERE? I got to go get it, it's in Kansas.

I got my "paid in full" today. I need to narrow it down to one plan now.

That fast???? Man I better get ready, I wasn't far behind you.. 8-25-11
My EUC finally went submitted on 8-30-11

First they requested an export thingy which I didn't see any directions to do that... Then my license pic wasn't big enough, then they couldn't find my export form, had to resend that again.....1rst time was kind of a nightmare for me, they told me I only had 5 days to get everything in, just satisfied them the 5th day.

EUC times

What are EUC approvals taking these days? I want to add an A3 to the collection, and hate to be looking at a deep winter pickup...

All of mine have been very quick. M35A2C (my first GL purchase) and some parts just last month took about 1-2 weeks. Not sure why some people have to wait longer.

All my purchases were for personal use, no plans to resale, etc. so that may have some part in mine being quicker.

Mine have all been less than two weeks since my 70 day.deuce that I picked up in February.

I work the 20th but should be available the 22nd if you want help with your deuce. The Manhattan Airport is close to base or I could flat tow it to Salina for you. I do not expect any payment for assisting the guys or towing home if you have an issue. This is just a hobby for me and I do it for the people and the trucks. I love both, the people and the trucks. Some guys chip in some fuel money, but that is not what I am about. I plan to be there Monday if you want me to look at your truck. Glen

Hey Glen, I have made it back. We drove the 1,350 miles in 22 hours, the jeep, not the truck. Looks like about 2 weeks.

 

[phil2968]

Glad your home, sorry to hear about the truck. Are you having it brought in or fixed and driven back?

Sure is a fine looking truck, no preview at GL would have caught that issue. All the way home, I was telling myself I do not need an A3, but yours was really impressive... nice and clean looking, I thought you were home free. Glen

It was left at the truck shop in topeka, trans and toqure converter are beening rebuilt. Yea, i thought i had it made to Glen, 1,672 miles with 178 hours. I will not be in this spot again.

 

[KsM715]

Sorry to hear that Steve. I thought since you didn't call back that you had got it to shift and just kept going.

 

[steve6x6x6]

I picked up my A3, 2 weeks ago. In that afternoon drove it to the shop in Topeka, kansas powertrain - 2 weeks ago. Pull the allison for rebuild and installed $3,600.00 Pick it up this friday - LOL - called today and the trans. is at the rebuilder and they can not find the torque converter. Was told that 17 days was plenty of time , no problem. The plane tickets for this friday were $328.00, nonrefundable and nontransferable more lost money. Why do i find the incompetent people 1,300 miles from home.

 

[RealCavDog]

Man ! That just sucks ! Been watching the progress of your ordeal, since I have an A3 at Riley also, What now ?

 

[steve6x6x6]

This green fever is getting too expensive for me, if i ever get this A3 home it will about $11,000.00 hard money.

o man, you win some you lose some is all i can say. I just picked up a m35a2 and didnt realize i was losing the oil out the turbo. about 4 hours into the drive I ran the engine out of oil.

 

[steve6x6x6]

The plot thickens, called them today, was told that he has everything but will take 7 days to put the tarns. in???????????? When asked about the lost torque conveter " i have all of it" but your man said the converter was lost - "are YOU calling ME a LIAR" he said. I really wonder about some people. I will be so glade when i can drive away from that place.
