Well that just sounds lovely 😕

Appreciate the reply! Just curious…what are the symptoms when it fails?

Yes I just got it and am doing my initial fluid changes. So far I’ve done the engine, transmission, transfer case, and rear differential. The diff has been the only fluid that appeared to be cloudy. Planning on doing the front diff and hubs tomorrow so fingers crossed.

I’m letting it run with the drain port open (obviously not driving it anywhere. Just letting the engine run) Looking to see if any coolant starts getting pumped out. So far nothing so I would hope that means there’s no internal coolant leak.

Haven’t gotten to the hubs yet. They’re next.

No I didn’t have any coolant come out. I just had gear oil come out of the fill port. It was enough to make me wonder if there was another fill point for these cooled differentials. That or maybe water got into the diffs some how? The gear oil did look a little milky.

It definitely takes gear oil (80w90). I assume it has a separate internal reservoir for the coolant.

Yes. So maybe just water in the diff then?

Was changing the fluids in my differentials tonight and ran into an issue. So the first thing I do is open up the fill port and out pours fluid. It was a decent amount and yes I was parked on level ground. So either there’s another fill Location for these cooled differentials that I don’t know...

I just received my euc for my Humvee that’s in Yermo, California. Looking for a reliable hauler to Pensacola, FL. I thought I had one lined up through Veritread but in the time I accepted the bid and now (roughly 2 1/2 months) they say that things have changed and now want an additional $700. I...

Thanks RWH! That’s great to hear. That will make life easier. I was worried that if I requested a title and it came with “off-road only” it wouldn’t be very easy to undo it. I’ve had one gp employee tell me it would come with “off-road only” on it and one tell me it wouldn’t so it didn’t give me...

Because everything I’ve read says that the title definitely comes with an off-road only stamp on it. Florida is very particular about titling these things. If it is titled with the off-road stamp it’s becomes a HUGE pain in the ass to get it street legal. But if I have a clean sf97 or just a...

That’s good to hear! Mine’s a USMC truck coming from Yermo also. Looks very similar to yours. Hoping I don't have any issues with the motor 🤞

Haha well thats one way to do it I guess. Good to know

Thanks man! Really appreciate the info/pics. Very helpful! So I've been debating getting the sf97. I've gotten conflicting info on whether or not it has “for offroad use only” on it. If it doesn't that will be helpful but if it does I can't use it anyways. My Wife is an attorney so she's...
