and we will see more Army trucks leaking out......Be patient and things will normalize when those start to flood the market then slowly creep up as the supply dries up again like with the m35's and m939's.
All about supply and demand.
Just curious as I do not know specifics but I thought all unarmored hmmwv's were ok to sell? Or is just the USMC that did their own thing with the later models.
What models will be realeased? Is this Army, USAF, and USN units?
So what is it that causes so many of these to stick?
Rust due to water?
Seems like threads if sealed with pipe thread compound would be ok.
Does the oe nor military goop plugs?
Here is a link to ebay on a m353 with a 600 gallon pod. Not my listing.....just found it browsing for something else.

If you saw the prices for the very first M998's that sold when they were allowed again in the $30-40K range. Not slantbacks nor X doors. Just plain Jane ... but those folks wanted to be the first to own one after the USMC units had leaked out 10 years earlier.

On fri they do a mini VIP and Corp sponsor show not open to public.
Wind definitely was kicking sat. The US Army Parachute demo was probably having a challenging time. The air speed streamers they dropped from the Huey drifted way far from the runway.
Better on Sunday.
The hard line on the intake is for the fording kit.
The gm Saginaw pump takes a new cap with a nipple for the vent tubing on the fording kit but that is for the older models.
You must have the remote reservoir pump?
If so that might explain the additional line.
One of the coolest flights was a WWII F4 corsair being escorted on a victory lap by F35's. On Sat it was one on one. On Sunday they had 2 F35's.
I had never seen the F35's previously at an air show. They also did several flight Demos and showed off their capabilities. They were from Hill AFB in Ut
Navy VFA-204 squadron "River Rattlers" is an all reserve top notch squadron ( I understand one of the best any where) that is the main defense force for this part of the gulf and surrounding area. They are a 24/7 ready alert status with birds on tarmac always hot.
