Nevermind Wes, you are correct. Went out to the truck and looked at the compressor again. I see where the head gasket is, guess I'll pull off the head tomorrow and inspect the head gasket. Maybe I'll get lucky. I sure appreciate all those videos you've made! Thanks.

Is simp5782 Wes Simpson? If it is, thanks for all those youtube videos. They've been very helpful. I bought the moon wrenches on the off chance I have to replace the air compressor. A bit confused about your head gasket comment. When I remove the cover over the uploader valve it is full of...

I'm assuming if I find coolant in the air compressor uploader valve that the air compressor is cracked and needs to be replaced? Just checking before I spend the money and the time replacing it. I REALLY don't want to replace it. I guess this also explains why I was seeing green liquid...

The truck hasn't been building any air pressure so I checked the uploader valve and inside it was full of radiator fluid. I'm guessing the air compressor is cracked and must be replaced? I REALLY don't want to replace it, it doesn't look easy. This also explains why the wet tank has been...

Interested in selling the cab? My HEMTT would look nice with a new cab!

I have no trifecta of violations to worry about with my vehicles. But if you wrongfully pull out in front of my 23,000 lb truck you might end up dead. The driver of the car should have been paying attention and is the only one at fault. I see people looking down at the phone more than on the...

The Bridgeport Offroad park (see link below) is near DFW. The Military Vehicle Truck Club of North Texas (MVTCNT) has gone there a few times. It was a always a great time. The second or third Saturday of each month the park is open to overnight camping. The park offers a few water traps and...

Anyone know if the cabs for the MK48 and HEMTT are identical? I need to dig into the TM's more but thought maybe someone out there has replaced one. Thanks. Bryan

What temperature should the HEMTT be running at, 190? or 200? I replaced the sender unit. Verified the sender unit using a multi-meter. It seems to run around 190-200 degrees. Water pump is working fine. Replaced the sender unit with a barbed end and a rubber hose, green coolant comes...

The offroad park is geared towards the jeeps and rock crawlers. Not many people have military trucks. Still a number of trails and water for military trucks though. Funny to watch the teenagers bring dad's new Rubicon out to the park only to have to stall in 3 ft of water. I can head out...

Here are a couple of links. http://www.cityofbridgeport.net/322/Northwest-OHV-Park https://www.facebook.com/NorthwestOHVPark http://offroadjeeptrails.com/2012/10/bridgeport-texas-orv/

We could always try the off road park near Bridgeport, TX. It isn't too far west of DFW. I know the park allows camping either the second or third Saturday of the month. Perhaps they will allow a military rally some weekend. The North Texas Military Vehicle club has gone a few different...

I've got a 1986 HEMTT. The temp is stable at 180 degrees unless I start driving. It jumps up to 240 degrees not long after moving and I hear a large rush of air from the center console. Within a few minutes after I put the vehicle in neutral the temp quickly comes back down to 180 degrees...

For the time being it is dead. I think the core members are burned out and people's lives are busy.

The club hasn't been very active for over a year. The club website is down and I'm not sure how often the facebook is updated either. Perhaps I can help.

I love my HEMTT! Just never enough time to drive the beast.

Thanks guys. I didn't know asking about insurance was a no no. I hate having to call two dozen insurance companies if someone has found that Company X is great. Anytime you ask an insurance agent that you want to insure a HEMTT you end up spending 20 minutes explaining to them what type of...

Saw a closed thread from back in 2007 that discussed HEMTT insurance. Now that a few more HEMTT's are in public hands I was wondering where, and what price, people have been finding insurance. The insurance on my M35 and M939's is very reasonable, the quotes I've gotten for the HEMTT are...

Thanks for all your help guys. One of the things that was unclear was if I was supposed to be pushing fuel into the filter housing with a primer pump OR pumping it out. Reading the earlier posts it is pumping the fuel out. I'd changed all the filters out on the same hot day. It wasn't until...

Replaced the fuel filter today on the HEMTT, now I need to bleed the air out. TM 9-2320-279-20-1, Section 2-18 discusses bleeding the air at the fuel filter housing with a priming pump. Is the TM talking about a hand primer pump similar to the one at the link below? I guess the pump is a...
