. Yessir, it is a lot of dough. But it looks to be pretty good quality material.

. Might be that @simp5782 could make suggestions about the transmission. He has done quite a few builds that replace parts to improve performance... Neat looking truck. Almost a one of a kind sort of thing. .

. Well, the good part of that space it that you will have a dry spot, hopefully above freezing - that you can work in when the snow is about half way up the sides of the building. Yep it will beat laying around outside in the cold for sure! .

. Just remember, with the HMMWV the body of the truck is NOT part of the ground circuit for lights. All those light wires have a ground wire - like most other MV's - where the ground circuit is completed with a wire to the body. .

Dug up some more dirt... At the time the PPP loans were made, the Department of Justice was suing Yellow for alleged fraud related to overcharges to the Defense Department for freight carrier services. The company in March 2022 agreed to pay about $6.85 million to settle that lawsuit. That...

. I hate to say it, but it is/was pretty obvious that YELLOW wasn't doing a very good job managing their money for the last 20 years. Buy another company - then get another mortgage. USF Holland is a great example. USF was next door to the YRC terminal here on Statesville Road. Did they shut...

. I believe that is a serious case of Oooops! .

. Well, I waited on somebody with more experience to answer up. Didn't happen, so here goes: If it was my truck and my money paying to replace everything that might be ruined if we did it wrong, removing driveshafts solve that problem. Yea, it's a pain if you are laying in the mud. If you...

. Nice to see that you were NOT dribbling on the pavement! Hate to say it, but that little piece of cardboard isn't big enough for some vehicles...

. Check with White Owl here in Kinston. Good guys. Reasonable prices. .

. Don't feel like we are "beating you up" but cracking the books (The Parts TM) will get you the part number for the missing piece. Then you can search for the specific part that you need. Web search that-a-way will get you what you want quicker... .

. Nice looking truck for sure! .

. Guessing that the 800 series are mechanical winches - with a driveshaft? Rather than hydraulic like the 900 series... .

. Absolutely @Floridianson ! Trucks really are a lot like people. They all have personalities. The person and the machine work together - some better than others... .

. Very sad but true. School Buses started building automatics in about 81/82 for exactly that reason.

. Welcome to the Outfit! Pretty impressive stable of vehicles for sure. That is a lot of iron and it is really cool to have your daughters involved too. .

. Welcome to the Outfit! Yeah, well. Those days are over. Now YOU get to be the maintenance guy. Might even make you drive her a little more gingerly too... It is an adventure though! Whip out your computer and download a few TM's to learn more about your new-to-you truck. Really, those...
