NDT,
Army Strong is all I can say. The trucks are designed to go rough places and we train to a standard. Sure, we're very fortunate that we have great tax payer funded equipment to put through their paces but overall, that truck that we thrashed this weekend is a PEI (Principal End Item), it has certain design requirements that it should meet and we subjected it to a hole that was too deep. If it had the fording kit, it would have been fine. We'll have those intake stacks next go around. If the operator would have entered the hole slowly, it would have made it with no problem. 6.2's being toast after 30,000 miles, this one cranks fine now and has no water in the oil. It'll go many more before it's done as long as PMCS is done as it is with the military. Take care of you're equipment and it'll take care of you. If you fail to take care of your equipment, it will FAIL to take care of you.
