Snarky - I don't think we should be worried about the potential of Iraqi's using the HUMVEE's against us... when it won't start due to glow plug or relay issues, or the crank breaks, or the transmission gives up the ghost, the only way they could be used against us is if they drop them from the...

True on the NAPA part, but it comes coated with lead & rust from China...:-D 'Tanner'

How severely are the panels bent? Enough to require a BFH? 'Tanner'

Mr Whitehead, welcome to the Steel Soldiers forum! I would suggest that you contact Cabell Garbee here in NC for an assist on locating an M-37... he's a good friend of mine & I'm working on my M-37 at his place. He might know of an M-37 available on the East Coast. His website also has a good...

The API specification change to CJ-4 for 2007 has resulted in moderate zinc reduction from about 1,400 ppm to 1,200 ppm. And even at these slightly decreased levels, ROTELLA T 15W-40 conventional and 5W-40 synthetic still contain three to five times the amount of the desirable anti-wear...
