    Italy is not Germany ! ! ! I don't know the italian import laws and taxes. Could be that he had to pay nothin', but also could be that he had to pay more or similar to germany. I don't know. The European Community is not comparable to the states in the USA. Cu, Sven

    Last year it was similar here. You had to pay 19% salestax + ~4-6% importtax for the item INCLUDING the shipping costs ! Since this year ONLY for the item value/price and no longer for the shipping costs due to a new EU-law. Cu, Sven

    You can declare it as a gift or birthday present, but the german custom will not belive it and don't have to believe it. I have to bring the proof that it is one. How should I do that ? That's the german laws. Everything coming from OUTSIDE the european union above the value of 20 Euro have to...

    There is no change here to get parts or other things from or via the army since 9-11. There is only no change to buy cars/trucks from the army if they close a location. Everything that is good, will be send back in the US or to other bases. All bad things will be crushed. It is forbidden (in...

    No possebility for helicoil, becauz a part of the crossover housing (passenger side screw) fell apart and you could see the complete thread of the screw from top to bottom.

    Thanks for the pics. Done that today on my fan clutch (I bent the tab about 5 mm later as OEM). Still waiting for the 180°F thermostat, which I ordered from KennedyDiesel, so I couldn't take the truck for a testdrive. If the thermostat is here, I will install it asap and then I'll post my...
