    Hemtt oil Detroit 8v92

    I don't have a HEMTT but do have the 8V92 in an MK48 and a HET and all the research ive done lead me back to straight 40 weight. I use Chevron Delo 100. The two strokes don't like an oil with a CF2 (I think that's wat it is lol) rating. Dave

    LMTV door lock key

    Mine used older Land Rover keys if I remember correctly. The locksmith tried Volvo keys per my recommendation from someone else, no luck, he then tried others and it was older Land Rover. Both doors were also keyed different from each other but he fixed it.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Mine has the 3070 and will push to about 58mph, however, once that 48-50 threshold is surpassed the little Cat does want to push up the heat. These trucks are comfortable at the 45-50 range. Mine doesn't have a tach so I don't know the RPM's that it is cranking at those speeds. I do not believe...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    If I remember correctly, the all wheel drive is split 30/70 power front/rear. The "Mode" button will split it 50/50. 1st gear is only manually selected, as a "Low" range.

    Curiosity on truck with HET platform

    I do not remember exactly how I came across this truck, I think maybe I was googling 24 volt a/c systems? Anyway, I see this truck with what seemingly is sporting a HET DP winch platform. Anyone know of this vehicle? I'm sure it is not a U.S. MV. Dave
