    1987 m998 or is it?

    Really? I remember just mentioning hmmwv and title would get a thread shut down. I guess things have changed.

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    I agree with this. Synthetic or not, you still need frequent changes.

    Motor Oil - Synthetic or Rotella?

    Just curious and not trying to derail the thread. What zinc additive do you use and how much? I use 8 oz of zddplus into 5.5 gal of Rotella 15w40 conventional in my M35A2. May look at the semi synthetic next time.

    Didn't see that movie I guess? No but titling status of hmmwvs is. Or at least it used to be.

    1987 m998 or is it?

    Rule number one of fight club...dont talk about title status of fight club. But to answer your question, there should be data plates on either door jamb that will tell you. Just open the doors and look down and to the rear of the vehicle.

    Have you considered a solar tender. Mine has a 24v solargizer and it keeps my batteries topped up nicely.

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    He is not saying to add 15/40 to your fuel if that’s what your asking. The delo 400 is what you would use for engine oil. It has the appropriate zinc level to protect your engine. Or more specifically the lifters. I may have confused things when I brought up zinc. Stanadyne or equivalent mixes...

    Adding oil to fuel of m35a2

    +1 for stanadyne. I use the lubricity formula. I think I add about 8 ounces per 25 gallons but I usually just wing it and dump some in when I fill up. You can't put too much in. Also, you may want to add some zinc additive to your engine oil.

    Don't bring your dog unless you can get him to wear hearing protection.

    Tried to fire up the 5 ton after a few years

    Yes. I didn't realize they put gas engines in something that "modern".

    Tried to fire up the 5 ton after a few years

    Crazy Canadians. Why does that have a gasser in it? Ever watch Zip ties and Bias plies on youtube. You kinda remind me of that guy.

    Interested in buying a 90 6.2 Hmmv with 59,000 miles. New guy here!

    Is it just me or does it look like the rear is lowered to match the front? Also it looks like the tires are low tread.

    How long is too long to let sit!

    I try to take mine out and run it at least every month. Sometimes it stretches to two months. I try to run it kind of hard once up to temperature. Not ragging on it but not just putting around. Also keep the kill knob pulled out when parked, that way if your fuel shut off in the injector pump...
