Look at your oil. Is it thin? Smell like fuel? If a jug is getting too much fuel, its going to leak some into the oil.

Got to cover all bases.

So here I sit, rubbing the stones, tossing the chicken bones in the air and looking at the FEW pictures to try and divine what is indeed the nicest truck. Life is tough sometimes!

I spent 18.5 years supporting ADA. Hawk AND Patriot. ADA = 400 hertz. NOTHING on the system runs on 60 hertz. NOTHING. Oh, well, the tent lights, admin computers and the coffee pots are 60 Hertz. :D

You need the cooling fans. Yes, I would assume they are DC. But will the step down full wave rectifier be able to use 120 volts? Do not forget, Patriot uses 416 VAC/400 hertz. I am sure there is a way to work that out.

aghumvee, you need to PM gman. He still is a few posts short of being able to post a PM himself.

If you want safety, then G.D.'s suggestion is the only way to go. Buy a Military habitat. Install bomb proof seats with seat belts. In 1990, I tried to render aid to an R.V. rollover on the autobahn. The driver lived long enough for the Dust Off to bring him to the hospital. The five members of...

Done.

Already done. So far, no TM's to be found. It was a non repairable item. Use it till it breaks, turn it in. Cost was $17,000. Turn in credit to the unit was $10,000. It was bought just for Patriot, and was not a big contract, not many bought. For such items, it was not worth the time and MONEY...

Thats how the Army would do it.

Truck come with em?

I used to know the guy who wrote the answer to the Sgt SOS. I met Youll in Ft. Bliss in 1985? 1986? Back then he worked for TACOM. Troop Support Command.

Member @kloppk has in the past. You might ask him. The design of that VR was not good. Repairing it and returning it to original specs would leave me, anyway, always thinking it would fail again.

You can go crazy, if you try and realign a set that was taken apart and put back together, "Just a tad off". Its one of the biggest reasons the muffler exhaust rubs the hole on the top and elongates it. ALSO!!! if you see the hole elongated, check your vibration dampers. I saw one with a huge...

Sure, post a screen shot. Good deal!

We spent a week there in 1971. The night/star picture is a heart stopper. My family did a lot of camping and water skiing all over the west in the early 60's to 1972 when I joined the Army. The view of the sky at night was always something that made me feel humble and small. City folk have NO...

Dewie wrote; No there was no change to the B model genset itself. The idea was to remove the stock control box install the digital box add a few wires to the genset and the set was micro grid capable. It was an idea so the military could use their existing gensets instead of buying new grid-able...

We used to call that the "Earlobe to Earlobe Smile!"

Thank you very much. I will post this in the TM forum, to help others at a later date.
