Default Parade Season starts with St Pat's Day Parade

Our NICMVPA group came to the cold and drizzly Naperville St Pat's Day Parade. Over 100+ other parade entrant groups and over a mile long! Always an overly appreciative crowd. The rain kept the anti-military harassment clique away this time, didn't miss 'em. We had the M1026 with 150,000 miles on it, still a daily driver work vehicle. And my M1036 TOW HMMWV with barely 4500 miles, guess who didn't make back to the garage after the event.

@50mph my 6.2 started shaking itself to death no warning, all readings were normal, 2500rpm, oil, temp, pyro,aok. Just boom... shakalaka... nothin'. The crank pulley's floating around like crazy, threw it's belt's, little oil leak near it.

btw Towing a HMMWV with a pickup truck It is an adventure on wet pavement.

FMJ,
Towed it into the garage saturday and I'll look at it Monday, didn't want to ruin my weekend - no matter what it is. But yeah, could be, it sounded bad enough.
