What? even with the taller gears I didn't see 8mpg.

Best forward speed I could get out of my 3126 was 75 mph going downhill. 74 was attainable on flat stretches of road.

Trailers, yes.. Vehicles.. no. At least that's the DOT regs I've read.

Coach you dont know why Meritor or Tacom made the change. It could very well have been that by going to the 6x6 intermediate axle setup there are less parts to manufacture or inventory. The driveline issues with t he early LMTVs were fixed by 1998. This is just my opinion and dont take it...

It sounds like alot of money for something with no demonstrable benefit.

I've got some spare windshield gaskets.

Most vehicle regs won't allow a truck wider than 8 feet (minus safety equipment). The LMTV is already 8 feet wide. Hummers are narrower.

That is the turret gasket for the gunners platform. The cover uses sponge rubber seals. I had a truck come in that had a gasket on the turret cover and it leaked like a sieve.

Over the past year running A1's have sold for $13k-$30K anything less than 10K is a gamble.

More power, less noise, less vibration (which is why the cab airlift system was omitted for the C7 trucks) cleaner emissions, more torque. Diagnostics on an electronic truck is far faster, No injector rack to adjust controls are easier, plus there is a plethora of data stored in the ECM of a C7...

The LMTV weighs almost 5000lbs more than the M35A3, and has a much larger frontal area (meaning more wind resistance). HP on the M35A3 is 170, The LMTV is 50 hp more.

Try 301 Truck stop. They charged me $475 to pickup from bragg, store for a few days and then used two wreckers to lift the truck onto a flatbed.
