Thanks. When I originally got the truck (auction truck) it was low. I fixed a leak, topped off and bled the system using some generic dexron III. Do you think there is any benefit to swapping the fluid to something like Red Line D4 (which complies with Dexron III)? I figure using a higher...

More 50 cal progress. This counts as hmmwv related right? I'm not building it to go on my Prius 🤣

Yes, if you make enough phone calls you can get it. Just make sure you have a REALLY good respirator and know how to use it.

Its still up.

Made some bumpers for the cupola so that the hatch doesnt slam into it

I'm 3D printing a 50 cal. Trunnion is done, and barrel is a rewelded USGI barrel. Side plates will be aluminum sheets riveted onto the 3D printed parts. Should look pretty realistic when finished without breaking the bank.
