    Who's driving in a Parade on the 4th?

    We will, in Cleveland, VA, with both the M998 and the M977!

    88 977 hemtt

    Karl, Nothing specific to look at, but I do know that mine, when moving slowly down hill I can run it low as well, but never on the open road. I believe at some point there was an air tank upgrade on these trucks, where more tanks were added. Mines down at our farm, but if memory serves, there...

    Hand Crank Start V8?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao5OF7EXDcw Very cool video of a guy hand cranking a gas powered Tatra engine. I can't see why a V8 diesel couldn't be with the right flywheel/engagement mechanism. I honestly wish more engines had this provision in equipment. Sure it adds weight etc, but it...

    87 hemtt M977 New Owner

    You also maybe able to use TES 389 rated fluids, and there are some much less costly options out there if you do. One that I've looked at is the Valvoline 773775, its readily available, and relatively inexpensive.

    87 hemtt M977 New Owner

    On mine I used Mobil Delvac 1, and only replaced the spin on. I did it one spring, and did it again the next spring. I'm relatively confident I've got it all now, or at least enough to matter. On the oil front I order the Delo 100 through O'Reilly's and it was relatively inexpensive.

    87 hemtt M977 New Owner

    My engine never gets that warm, hovers around 180F it appears all the time from what I can tell. That temp gauge isn't all that useful though in the range it runs. Transmission is about where it was mentioned above. Is this Hassan's truck?

    87 hemtt M977 New Owner

    Very nice, I do love my M977, I'm sure you will yours as well. As mentioned before change it to Delo 100 in the engine only, and get the 15-40 oil out of the transmission as replace it with some proper TES-295 or better rated ATF.

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    Wow, that is terrible. Four man configuration, a blow to the head during the rollover would disorient, and if you go into the water in the dark, good luck sorting out which way is up. I'm nearly convinced I'm going to require head protection for everyone in mine moving forward.

    "Remil" Restrictions?

    Going through the Form 1 process might be best. The breech ring is the controlled device, so if you decide to sell it later, and the new owner doesn't want the hassle, then the breech ring could be removed. If it were mine that would be the process I would take, and who knows, with some barrel...

    Just heard back from them, they are stuck in Oklahoma replacing and transfer case output seal right now.

    My $50 is on it's way, wish we were closer, and we would be down there ourselves.

    transmission oil change for HEMTT

    Mine shifts like this some times. I have a spare transmission in a can just in case too! I've got another drain/fill cycle coming this fall as well. Maybe it will improve. It does act far better when it warms up.

    Interesting towing setup

    When I passed him he was definitely paying attention, from the look of things he was puckered up good.

    Interesting towing setup

    Those 60kW MEP006s have air brakes on them don't they?

    Interesting towing setup

    Hopefully he didn't take anyone with him on his "adventure" home.
