Be careful with that, if I'm remembering correctly (and I hope I'm not) that happened to someone else on here, 2 months later their ENTIRE policy was dropped, not just auto, because progressive found out it was NOT an H1. Glad to hear they're registered as 1 tons though.

Correct, your weight rating would drop to 0 because they don't have a weight rating for a class 3 hitch on the truck itself, just the hitch. I have either a class 4 or 5 installed and technically am not allowed to use it on road, even though the hitch is rated to 10 tons. Off highway, pulls like...

No, it's not legal. Max towed vehicle weight rating on the pintle on highway is ten thousand pounds, with all three axles. Can they haul more? Absolutely, but according to the data tag, five tons is it.

Thanks for explaining that and the diagram!

Couple quick questions since these seem way more common than the XM789, when the data tag refers to "retracted", that means bolster bars down and stowed correct? Also, data tag states overall length at roughly 17.5ft, is that correct as well or am I reading that wrong? Thanks guys, feel free...

Take em some water for a peace offering, it'll probably be denied but you can't say you didn't try 😆 Looks way better in these pics, congrats!

Funny you say that, a couple towns over from me, in a barn, is exactly that, not being used as a table, but covered by a sheet. Old timer will absolutely NOT come off it, first thing he tells anyone who asks anything about it 😆. Might be able to talk him into pics though....

From what I can tell upon review, firing order is still 1-3-4-2, driver's side are cylinders 1 and 3, passenger side are 2 and 4. Sorry for the confusion

Yours sounds incredible, believe it or not that's quiet for a turbo deuce..... I was wondering about a muffler as well, because as much as we love ours, not great for kids, even with hearing protection. TSC sells mufflers cheap, I just haven't been brave enough to try it... I see no reason a...

Good to go

LDS pumps are minutely advanced if memory serves, so I believe you'd turn the fuel up, but yes it will work. Edit: just to confirm, your LDT is turbocharged, correct?

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/downloadable-manuals-for-mighty-mite-m422-m422a1.74657/ There's a list of TMs in the link, best I could gather is the firing order is 1-3-4-2 with cylinder one being at the radiator end, known as the front of the engine, firewall end being rear. Hope it helps

Just to confirm, if an A-10, SR-71, or P-51 comes up for sale/auction, we're creating a thread to pool together and buy them, right?

I thought date of inspection and date of manufacture were the same date, guess I get a lesson too 😆.

Google says hmmwv production numbers from 1985-2012 were North of 280k, and the first civilian purchase of them at auction was Dec of 2014. 11 years of auctioning how many per year against how many were lost or are still in service against that probably "estimated" production number might give a...

Mfd 10/85. It is a bit harder but not impossible, might be easier for you because your truck is a bit newer. Weight data looks identical but the XM816 and M816 do have different stock numbers, it will be fun discovering what the differences are. Congrats on the win

Beautiful rig!!! Pretty sure when an "X" is used as a prefix to model number it represents a prototype or experiment. Was there a pic of the data tag from the auction?

I vote 10L80 with paddle shifters.
