Did you fill the trans when cold? This can cause over filling. Change both of your filters...then check again. It could be a plugged filter restriction.

25 years old exemption for these...that's a laugh. You think for a second that they'd be sold as "exempt"? LOL <--this

A rebuilt HMMWV converted to "civilian" specifications (FMVSS standards) and then resold... This could happen, but they would definitely not be cheap. They also wouldn't be HMMWV's anymore....more like Hummers.

I'm glad it was just stuck. These old trucks like to be excercised!

I think we can all agree that it was somewhat unpleasant and that it will not happen again this year. Beer Summit!

If someone wants to go riding off into the desert doing that stuff, fine. Just keep it (far) away from the humans.

What are your tire dates?

The fancy ones have speedos that go to 88mph...standard ones only go to 85...

Thanks dad! :-)

"for sale" His vote is for sale. (at least that's what I got out of it...I am not a lawyer!)

I'm good with either. (didn't participate in the poll...figured it would be 1 vs 1)
