Whats the vin? That will answer the year question quick.

I think trying to get the 395s balanced is a hopeless endeavor especially over the thanksgiving weekend. Army never did, Stewart & Stevenson never did either.

Looks good, worth $8-10K. It's been somewhat restored it would appear.

YES!!!! Inter (between) Axle Differential. All modern 18 wheelers have it and a pneumatic lockout on the dash to control it. MTV has it but engagement is automatic.

You are correct. Mode actuates a solenoid which engages the interaxle differential lock. OK, not clear on a few things, do you have up and down motion on your pinion exiting the rear of the center differential? Were your U joints out of phase on the rear rear driveshaft?

Not strange at all, that is the interaxle differential, Wes is not familiar with those 'cause his old school 5 ton doesn't have one.

Progressive Commercial insures my and snowtrac's FMTVs. Is this still up in the air? Really need to park the truck if uninsured.

You would have to engage the inter axle differential lock, which puts the truck in "mode" (off road driving).

Option if center pumpkin is crapping out: limp to Many, Louisiana to MTP drivetrain and leave the truck there for repairs. Get a rental car at nearby Ft Polk. Drive to Houston, fly home then come back when repaired.

I think a HMMWV pull out GEP 6.5 is a good option. Don't get a GM made 6.5 due to the cracks issue.

Each driveshaft needs to be phased with itself only, ie forward and rear ujoint in same plane. Up down wobble of any pinion is bad news.

I would expect that as the middle axle has extra gearset that raises the driveshaft. If nothing is grinding, howling, or slinging oil, press on.

6 ton White 666 ECT is the intended tractor for that trailer. 202 horsepower.

Suggest refill the master cylinder and bleed the system. Closely monitor the brake fluid level during weekly equipment checks.

GP has not sold any turbocharged HMMWVs yet. The certain id for 6.2 vs 6.5 is the oil pump drive clamp in the rear engine valley, drivers side is 6.2, passenger side 6.5.

I was thinking Ryder bob tail truck. To get a 923/dolly/van semitrailer combination to where the commercial vehicle enforcement boys leave you alone will be a huge chore.

The issue with just about all military van trailers is that they are spring ride. Your possessions will be beaten to death. I have a 129 and it's dock height at the rear door, making for difficult loading. Ryder trucks would be my suggestion.

Try this for your upshifts: Just let off the throttle enough to remove power, then shift. Seems better than coming completely of the throttle like a manual.

The only way I can imagine this could happen is a crack or porosity in the block between an oil passage and the coolant jacket.

An option is to remove the ramps and spacer and mount the stock Kompensator to the frame, and swap the plate to a 2" Holland. There is a old thread here on the p/n of the plate (available new).
