Does anybody know anything about all the 8V92s showing up? From the pictures they appear to be pulled from something being scrapped...would they be M911 or HEMTT or something else, or is it the same spec engine either way?
I picked up a m101a2 at red river army depot @ hooks in late Dec. I can tell you they have 100's of them coming up. I saw several being picked up from a previous sale and my loader told me they are about to flood the market with all these.
They are **** good boat anchors and oil leakers. Good for power if you can find a truck big enough to put it in. or got an M911 laying around. Like the one that sold at Riley last summer for 9k that needed an engine I think.

Well just cause they are on the GL lot doesnt mean they are going to go up for auction. They could be just storing them there. Like Malmstrom has 3 M819s still sitting in the back, can be seen in some of the lot pictures they have taken of other stuff.

I have a soft spot for DDA 2 strokes. I can think of lots of good things to do with a good running silver 92, hence my interest. Are the HEMTTS being repowered with Tier 4 engines?
I do not understand why my question is offensive to anyone, but I have edited it to be more obtuse.

The only reason it may be offensive to some is because the way you worded it, it sounds like your asking about an upcoming auction. That is a no-no around here.
Instead of asking about the 100's coming up at GL, you should have just asked what type of MV equipment used a 8V92 and if it was being replaced with something new.
I apologize for the infraction. I must confess that I was not aware that this type of question was taboo. I could, however, as easily have been asking about the hundred or so that sold last month. So, lets move forward with that assumption, please.....
Does anyone know if a HEMTT has a variable speed governor or a truck governor
I would like to add that there almost always are reasons why a motor gets pulled. Very infrequently are good motors swapped out for no reason. They almost always have problems like low oil pressure, or other signs of wear. I did hear that they swapped out a lot of perfectly good stuff (e.g., tires, motors) when trucks were headed to Iraq and Afghanistan as they did not want any mechanical troubles while there. This makes sense. Still, I would always assume the motor needs a rebuild unless it comes with dyno speaks or a turn in sheet.
8V92s all over GL
