    My New 6.5 TDL HMMWV engine. Is this the right one?

    When I was in the box a big program was going on to rebuild 6.5 NA engines so that all 6.2 engines could be removed. We where going through engines like a hot knife through soft butter and the fleet was almost completly purged of 6.2's. The 6.5 TD were being rebuilt too but were reserved for...

    Inspection GL Fort Riley Kansas.....
