The Annaville FD did one awhile ago, might want to contact them.

The HIMARS uses a different IETM than the standard LMTV/FMTV... I've got the HIMARS manual but havn't deciphered how to use it.

Correct

Yes there is an inspection plug they are accessed through.

It depends on what else was damaged. We are pulling the trans to fix an oil leak. (maybe rear main seal.. Maybe not after this discovery.

So from now on all LMTV's that come through my shop will get the flex plate bolts replaced torqued and lock-tighted. The US army must not own torque wrenches as this has happened with great frequency.

AFAIK Transmission coolers are similar across the board C7-3126-3116, it is a liquid/liquid heat exchanger mounted under the radiator fan/shroud. The M1088's have an aux cooler (air-liquid) mounted behind the spare tire and the other 6X6 trucks had an aux cooler (air-liquid) mounted under the...

That HIMARS cab uses the C7 electronics and can bus so none of those gauges will work with a 3116 you will have to swap over the 3116 cab wiring and fuse panel. Parts for the HIMARS cab are nearly impossible to find in the civilian world, but regarding fitment I don't think it will be a problem...

I chased caterpillar part numbers on the factory turbos. The turbo design on the 3116 is almost 30 years old, more modern blade profiles and materials allow turbos to spool faster and produce more boost with similar physical dimensions. I'll see if i can dig p the build sheet.

I've replaced all the hoses on My 1084A1 and never had an issue with air in the system or bleeding.

That certainly has it's benefits. You can run a generator to charge the batts instead of running the main engine.

That's not right, could be damaged compressor, turbine air leak... Do you have an air filter in the canister?

No there are differing turbos. The 225hp and 290 hp have different turbos but the 225hp has been supersceeded to the 290hp turbo. I had a custom turbo made up by Majestic turbo in Waco, that can flow enough air to produce about 600hp, although I'm not running that kind of power, spool time and...

Something like 5% of the trucks came with the winch.

Tail light location was moved higher in 2005 or 2006. They are fairly top heavy, if you manage to roll one chances are good it will be on it's side and you can go through the door or the windshield.

Troop protection was the sole purpose of the MRAPs.

It's a Cat C7 275hp The bed seats are not armored. Also the cab is bullet resistant but I believe it only to be against small caliber hand guns. The nubs on the cab skin are for bolt on armor plates.

The pull down handles are the same as the pull up handles but the sides are switched. (ie right door handle (marked R) is on the left side of the truck. The door latch assembly is also reversed.

17 digit VIN.. Neat.

That's about 1/3 of the BTU of the factory A/C.
