Hi Firefinder
Thank you for the Kind welcome
I've had M1078 and M1088 before, never an 89. And never a 2006 of anything.
Been trying to connect the MDR ICE Box, but I think I got some issue with the Serial cable.

Bought a M1089A1. I will try to recover the truck during the coming week & am going first clean her up. And then see what she's capable of.
Are there other members with M-1089?
One more thing on your way out... a tread is the pattern you see on a tire, much like the ones on a HMMWV. A subcategory, like on a Forum is called a thread. Notice a difference?
You must be some kid or else I don't know about your cognitive capacity.
First off you mention all this talk about HMMWV on this site, mind you this is a HMMWV segment on a military vehicle forum. What do you think people talk about here? Oprah? SMH
How could this discussion not get political...

We can't speculate about any of the things that happened that night. There are many questions. I have the same questions you have, and then some.
But that all is up to people who can ask and process the scene.
One thing that I find is strange is that they had to run a mile and a half to Kyle's...
It will not help you if you don't take off your seatbelt and drown. There is egress training in Military vehicles for a good reason. I did see the Dirt everyday episode. I think you have to decide what you personally do as far as passenger safety is concerned.
That c pillar is there it has been pushed forward during recovery. What you are looking at are the rear doors. There is a high seat mounted . Probably for hunting. I see something on the bed I don't recognize . I feel bad for the passengers. I do think this was slow speed. The seats would have...
I wasn't looking forward to checking the transfer case level today.
But it looks ok.
So I'm pretty sure now, that I have a NP 242
Is this the blue band you talked about?
