    I'm going to drop this. I'll agree to disagree. Having personally worked with other HET units; both active and reserve, I'll stand by my position going off of my personal experiences. It's also saying something when numerous soldiers come from 377 and spend time in 2nd HET, landing in 96th and...

    I beg to differ. We cover fort hood (1CD, first army, 4 1st Fires brigade, 3rd CR) along with civilian entities, and get tasked out to support NTC rotations and J-RTC rotations. We haul M1A1 to and from ft. Erwin, Move 4 1st guns to and from sill, exc. We literally support every organization on...

    Yes the civilians sign for them, but they just sit and receive no maintnance, much less even being started. We also have to continue to support the mission. So rear D operates 8-12 systems. Our A1s had issues at first. But they are working hard now.

    as does 96 service all of fort hood (1CD, 1st army, III corp). They support NTC rotations, J-RTC rotations, civilian events (static displays for things like the PGA tour in San Antonio) and support the region for their missions (fort sill, fort wachuca; I know that's not spelled right). The...

    It is what it is guys. Most importantly, live. Secondly learn. Every thing is debatable, but things happen. Most important thing is no one was hurt, only under pants were the true loss.

    My only concern for fixing it is the leaking axle. The housing is ether cracked or tweaked pretty good. And that's going to be hard, if not impossible to correct with out a new one.

    I would pull the main winches, engine, transfer case, wheels and tires, and good axles and part it out. That would help refund the money it took to buy one.

    F800, that has been my thoughts all night. But to be honest, it's not that bad. I could be very fixable. That was my initial thought from what I saw. I also hope I can help you in any way I can as far as the next move

    Only thing I can think of would be to have a replacement pipe made to go in its spot. Just get rid of the muffler all together.

    None of the fuses on the dog house popped? Pull the dog house cover and inspect in there for FUBR wiring jobs and/or a short some where. Look under the dash. Look for the typical "electrical tape" warning buzzer by pass. There is a possibility that it could of shorted there. Keep in mind...

    A DF2 shower is good for the skin and keeps the lot lizards away! Lol looking back, I wish you could have come by ft hood. We could have squared you away and made this trip a little more enjoyable, and might have set you home with some goodies, and a doggie bag for the owner. As long as I'm...
