Here is a link for the 7 blade GM fan. I like this one because it is steal and not the flex version. I have seen the plastic flex versions in HMMWV get shredded from fording or being hosed down (while engine running) in the wash racks.:shock:

I can suggest two things for sound and thermal insulation. The first is Peel & Seal found in the roofing section in Lowes. It is just like Fatmat, but a lot cheaper. I have read forums from car restoration enthusiasts that use it instead of Fatmat, and the reviews on Lowes are all from car...
I just checked my photo library from Afghanistan (got back in Feb 2011) and I thought I took a picture of a M1151 parked next to M-ATV's with a RG-33 next to the M-ATV. I remember how it showed perfectly how big the trucks have gotten, but I must not have had my camera :( I agree with the...
Sliding Glass :shock: This is my jealous face aua Now tape up the glass and get ride of the shiney stuff around the windows. You are kicking some serious a$$ :beer:
Axel upgrades and turbo are on my wish (to do) list. I read a thread on another site and he used two 6.2 gaskets on the turbo side. Here is the link in case it helps Turbo a 6.2 with 6.5 parts - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

Make friends with the SGT in charge of the Motor Pool and the rest of the mechanics..don't forget the :beer: I'm not saying you will get a motor swap out of it but the little things here and there add up 2cents In the military it is called "acquiring" or "re-utilization" ;-)
That being said...
I always like "Hope for the best, Plan for the worst." Good thing you had a spare starter on hand or that trouble shooting could have cost a few pennies more. I need to start collecting spares for my M1009. Good catch on the battery. [thumbzup]
Nice find Top! Makes me want one so I can rip out the 6.5TD with factory A/C and the winch setup. I wonder what kind of axles it runs;) Glad you had a good trip and welcome back.

I went to the local junkyard here in FL and although they didn't have it in stock they were able to order it. I received it the next day and it was 68.90 out the door with tax. I've had it in my M1009 for 3 days and it is working great.
This is straight from the TM-34
