I'll agree, there once was a jar head that locked a blazer in 4wd somehow.
During the guard shift he tried all ways of un locking it, to no avail. So
the easiest thing to do was take the indicator bulb out.
The next shift came on and proceeded to take out about 1500 feet of fence
line and the blazer, when the front rear locked up in a turn and they lost
control......

Subject: [MV] Are auction vehicles generallydrivable?
As having been on the side delivering the beasts to the auction... Always
remember that the average Military Vehicle gets beat to hell! I have had
kids put water in engines, gas in diesels and oil on the ground. Your
average driver is 19 and does not give a rat's arse about really being nice
to it. Sorta the fleet vehicle's from hell! As long as it can run, pass
inspection and such, he/she jumps in and goes! GSA would not have them if
they were perfect, or even semi perfect in most cases. I also have rarely
seen a MT Chief not remove certain hard to get parts from just about all
vehicles that were leaving us. regards, Bill

Many of you Listers summed the situation up real good.
My thanks to those that made reference to me, I sure do appreciate it. In
most of my purchases I'm lucky to get one or two trucks out of five that are
runners after installing batteries. From there it's a grand or two in
getting a truck ready for resale. The ones that really hurt are the trucks
with a broken crankshaft, bad injector pump, blown transmission or transfer
case. No brakes, missing or defective alternator, broken glass, missing
seats and so on I take for granted - part of the game but it sure kicks a
profit in the head. Joe Young
