Where is NEIOWA?

Not sure if I have the id right, but his experience with these issues is important and feel a little lost without him. Does anyone know if he's taking a break from the forums? Well get him back.

I R here. Busy busy. And working with several local FD on DOD surplus chassis and gensets.

Hot tip for anyone looking for a large brush truck/light offroad tanker. DOD is now surplusing off all the M35A3 6x6. These are the "duece and a half" that were 100% rebuilt in 1998/99.

Changes included:
New CAT 3116 w/ Allison auto, super single tires with CTIS, airshift front diff, power steering, 3point belts. A new truck after rebuild. Good for 1000gal (rated 10000lb load). World of difference than the standard of duece. Most went to the National Guard and have less than 5000mi.

Roger that. Was noticing your absence. Your experience during these recent events or lack of events is appreciated.

Thanks for the updates on the duece and a halfs. We have one. Thing will climb a cliff.
