Those mosfets are rated at like 70 amps each which should be more than adequate for normal operation. My theory is they get blown up when people (GP and Uncle) slave off a totally dead battery HMMWV and remove the slave cable while the box is still cycling, which sets up a voltage surge...

That looks like the big brother to the GM 6.2 diesel, the 8.2. Says "Tractor" on the data plate, so it had a fifth wheel in USAF service.

Good video! By 1992 AM General would have been building the military version for 8 years, but the H1 was a new thing for them. The 4 door hard top the McClanahans bought in the video would have been $55,000 then. Same 6.2 with TH400 as the 998s. Did we all look that goofy in 1992?

Those pulse chargers seem to keep Hawkers going strong FOREVER, I have some 2007 Hawkers that are still going strong getting zapped 24-7 for years now.

Oh sorry you are right my picture is from a KDS black box.

Ouch.

Yes the GMCs are quite peppy until you get up to around 40 mph, going from 40 to 58 mph against the governor can take a while. You probably have the only M series GMC in GB.

M1009s never got MERDC so there won't be a TB describing it.

The van has one computer that controls the 4L80E and the DS-4 electronic injection pump. Removing that computer and attempting to make it work in a HMMWV would be an absolute nightmare. The DS-4 sucked when it was new.

GM Vans do indeed have the rear mount turbocharger. The 4L80E will need to be completely disassembled to have the tail shaft replaced with the shorter 4 wheel drive version. It's even possible the engine is a Navistar cast block, GM quit making 6.5s in 2000.

the inner or the outer type?

E85 fuel will cut the slime and dissolve it. Fill the tank with 15 gallons or so and let it ride around with you for a week in your daily vehicle.

Progressive Commercial has insured me for 10 years now. You own a 1985 AM General 5 ton flatbed truck, not a military vehicle.

Fuzzy hit it on the head. Dumpster while still at DLA. We are not seeing anything on retail either. Before you would see the GL stuff show up on Sportsman's Guide a month later. Now nothing. Not going to State surplus either.

Ha no this one

Be careful it's not that simple, some vendors are idiots. Axles are different between models of the 939 series as are the engines.

Maybe the shipping on this won't be too bad. Vintage Power Wagons has this for $30.

Interesting. Maybe the USMC "quadcon" fits on the container locks?
