    Air tank purge valves???

    The kit I have and installed came with drawing, 2-90degree elbows, 2-drains with cables attached, clamp (to hold the cables to the frame) and a ring to pull on. The drawing showed that the elbows with drains needed to point toward the rear of the truck. Then when the cable is pulled from the...

    XR311 Information

    I was wondering if anyone on this great forum of knowledge has any information as to who might have one of these vehicles. The FMC XR311 is branded as the proto-type for the hmmwv. Besides the one at Fort Lewis, WA, does anyone know of another in existence? Regards,
