Agreed, and more importantly, they should all be about the same temp.

For the deserts of PA? J/K

Make sure it's fuel and not transmission fluid.

Duramax and Allison (or 4L80). You get an extra gear. Drops cruising RPM to 1700ish. My opinion, the extra gear is worth more than the extra power. My other opinion, it's a lot of trouble and expense to go through for not a whole lot of return. The hmmwv should have had a 4bt from the...

Driving at night has its own set of risks. Driving 25mph slower than everyone else in a vehicle with poorer lights and a color that's difficult to see runs a good chance of getting rear ended. I've done it both ways, and after much consideration I've decided the right lane on the interstate...

Between Kingman and Flagstaff is a bunch of hills. That's going to be a handful in a slower than anticipated deuce, especially with someone not used to the peculiar skillset these trucks demand. He should fill up in Kingman, and fill up again in Seligman to dilute any badness. He may very well...

My conjecture as to the cause of the problem - The truck has been sitting not driven a lot. There's nastiness in the fuel system. He filled it with B20 biodiesel which is an excellent solvent. The B20 sloshed around for 4 hours. This cleaned much of the nastiness off the inside of the tank and...

Mildly. The logistics probably make it cheaper to just have it transported. First off, deuces have a tendency to sometimes behave poorly on towbars. So we run the risk i get there and hook up to it and it won't tow. (And sometimes they tow fine. You don't know til you try.) Secondly, I'm in...

Heat gun = temperature measuring device to check temp of bearings and drums without having to touch them.

These aren't military facilities. The only paperwork they want to see is the release form.

This is no longer relevant. They have two yards, neither is on Post.

I'd hook air to it and measure, but I'm unwilling to hack on the special fitting. How much travel is there from bottomed out to fully inflated? The manufacturer's site doesn't say. Also, I've seen a bunch of them in M939series trucks. Anybody have comments on putting one in an M809series...

I nominate PMRamsay's M54A1

The 1102 chassis when in LTT configuration will handle a GVW of 4200lbs comfortably. And weighs something like 1000lbs empty. Personally, I'd rather overload it slightly with the full 3500lbs payload than have a payload that sloshes. I can't tell what what trailer is from the pic. It may...

Is the tank baffled? If not, slosh of a partially filled tank will be impressive.

Presumably the selection criterion is that he already has it.

@Artisan has one. He may have useful information.

Pickup truck with a welder in tow. They came out of the weigh station and stopped me. South Dakota. Told me anything over 8k or anything towing anything other than an RV has to stop. Not really relevant to OP's question. TX has no interest in military vehicles. I've never stopped at a weigh...

Hitch compatibility....

These things are slow. About half the seat of the pants power of a modern jeep, which I wouldn't exactly describe as powerful. Personally, I'm good with that. If I want to accelerate briskly, I use a different vehicle. This isn't the tool for that task. But if you can't stand a two digit...
