    3 fire dpt M548s w/glamour shots

    Why yes, it's even possible that MY 548 came from NC Forestry. But Texas is by the book. Demil.

    bit of a vent: I love my m998, but what a year for maintenance!

    Thought I was the only one. That bothered me so much I went with the viscous clutch from the H1.

    3 fire dpt M548s w/glamour shots

    Looks like they gave up on them. Waiting for TFS to take them back to Lufkin. Where they will continue to sit. And never be auctioned. And eventually be turned in to DRMO to be cut up. Sad.

    Newbie looking for help on HMMWV research/buying

    Buy the nicest unit you can afford from GP. That is where all the flippers are getting units from. Most assuredly your sweat equity is cheaper than the "builders". And you won't end up with a "lacquer overhaul".

    New wannabe owner here

    Welcome! Love the early Broncos and yes, the military did use quite a few. They would be bare bones, no power and no 302 etc. What color was yours originally?

    Can anyone pick up a load for me in Guam

    You ask this jokingly, but there are numerous MV enthusiasts on Guam that we met when visiting there. Talk about a continuous battle with rust!

    M1088 Whole Foods Grocery getter

    Should have parted in the EV spot up front. I know that store, hate going there with all the Prius etc. Feel like a fish out of water.

    Pump would be struggling, pumping very slow if at all.

    M1078 LMTV Cab raising

    When the air hydraulic pump is working hard, it slows way down. If it is just pumping merrily away and nothing is happening, the pump is bypassing internally. Put a gauge on it and verfy.

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    Boy am I missing GL. At loadout " hey, you still have room on your trailer, do you need some of those???"

    LMTV Cab raise issue

    Search "latch" in the FMTV forum for a thread I wrote on fixing the cab latch leak. On the air hydraulic pump, I would start by overhauling it, likely has bad o rings. I wrote a thread on that too, search SPX.

    M135 transmision maybe destroyed from towing-First post

    Oh no. If the transfer was engaged, the hydramatic is gonna be hurt bad. Suggest pull the pan and take a look. The consensus here over the years seems to be nobody is really happy with repowers of these trucks.
