I have bought a lot of trucks from GL. The only one that had a bad engine was the M816 Wrecker (my most expensive piece of yard art).
That being said, a lot of them had small things wrong....many that turned out to be major headaches (bad brakes and electrical).
Parts are available and usually...
I think it is road legal.... if not just get permits.......drive that sucker home.....basically the same engine/driveline setup as the HEMMT.
The engine in the back is for the pumps.
Just turn on the lights and "HAMMER DOWN".
It would be the trip of a lifetime.
That double breasted...
There must be a deuce electric virus going around.....I fired up my new one today and the oil pressure gauge started
smoking......now I have no turn signals or lights.
CURSE YOU MURPHY!!!!!!!
Once and a while you will see them being scrapped on GL...usually at the aircraft bone yard in Arizona.....an ignoble end for a
great airplane. I used to see them dropping Airborn troops at Fort Benning.
One thing to watch is the expiration date on your drivers license.
They keep them on file and if yours is expired they will kick it back.

Just because you can't feel excess heat does not mean you are not building heat...
The good news is that once you get it right you can send the same one in over and over.....just change date and event number. White Out is your friend.
If anybody needs a brand new bustle rack (the rack on the back of the turret where the crew stowed their gear) off an M1 let me know.....I'll make you a real deal.
To the best of my fuzzy recolection the M916, M920 and M923 did not have wet kits. They did have hydrolic winches and if you need to power an auxillary piece of equipment you could make an adaptor.
Registering with your local Film Commision can lead to roles for you and your MV's.
You can "rent" your vehicles and equipment to production companies......just don't let them do the driving.
One of those "Super Secret" sites in that video is Chyenne Mountain Wyoming......not much of a secret....one was an underground site just south of Seoul in South Korea.
I have driven through it (I was a driver for a Signal Batallion Commander over there in 92-93).
