One "Ma Deuce" is an awesome weapon.....when you add three more and a rotating mount with T&E mechanism you have devastating firepower.
Sucks to be on the receiving end.
I loved my 915 but it was a green hole in which I was continually pouring money into.
Before you commit do a lot of homework on the associated costs of owning one.
The 920 is a cool beast and if I were independantly wealthy I would have one parked next to my HEMMT and Huey.
Parts, while...
When I was in Korea I had to take a group of officers on a Terrain Walk to the site of a battle near the DMZ.
The NCO that gave the briefing said that during the battle the Chinese sent human wave assaults against the American defender's position. One of the weapons that were used against them...
Even though you have fresh filters doesn't mean that there was not water and crud in the tank that got sucked into them.
Whenever there is a loss of power like you describe the first suspect should be the fuel filters.
Other possibility could be air getting into the system thorugh a loose...
Did you prep it for fording before you went in the water?
You should check all diffs, transmission and transfer case for water.

It is ten working days for pickup and Redstone is not open on Fridays so...
There was an overlap of CUCV's and HUMMERs.
I was a Signal Battalion Commander's driver in Korea in 1990....we had a Command HUMMER (hard shell with turret) and a CUCV.
When I got to Fort McClellan, AL in 1991 the MP School still had M151's on their Property Books. They were used for...
It starts waaaay before the third one.
Ask anyone that caught my campfire act at the GA Rally.
I'm not really a HUMMER hater....I just think that the few real military ones that got out the door are way over priced for what they are and what they can do.
The civilian ones are not much...
Everyone is welcome here if they have the dreaded Green Iron Fever......that being said....
Hummers are cute little trucks......what do you do with them?
I drove them in the Army.....wasn't impressed then, not impressed now.
What else you got?
It is still a cast metal.....and behaves differently than cold rolled steel.
I have welded cast iron manifolds and cast steel blocks....you still had to do pre and post welding treatment to keep down deformation or cracking.
