Got the truck to stretch her legs today, dam I hate being out of school and working 120hr a week... No time for army trucks. Anyways I took a short video for you guys. I'm currently working on a new vented grill and also bypassing the high pressure hydraulic filter.

So far I put the grill because the military decided to take mine off haha it's probably all Ill do, so far only 550lb.
Id rather have preferred the oem grill

True the only added benefit would but cut the holes and good to go vs fabbing a box and rewiring lights... To get to the hemtts lights is a task since they are buried behind the dash and all air components, I would rewire to their junction box for an easy job.
I do like the thought or fabbing...
Making some progress on the hemtt and also putting her to work. So the CPK may not be an exact copy of the factory armor, but its functional and looks good i think. I do need to make headlight mounts or cut the holes out for the originals.
Well, I understand why builds take so long, a simple task can easily eat your whole day up. I have almost all the steel work done I just need to finish the fins and mount them next, school is a real bother when trying to work on the toys haha. I did do some redesigning to try keep the approach...
For headlights Im thinking of getting 3 rigid industry lights, a hi in spot light pattern, low in fog pattern, and an amber turn signal. Ill have to fab up a protective box for them and will post pictures later. Any other options feel free to run buy me.
So this weekend I was able to cut the steel and get most of it mounted, next weekend ill be doing some cardboard R&D and working on the fins. I got to say to all that will be doing this just realize the sheet it self weighs in at 500 all said and done it'll be closer to 550 to 600. Ill get fin...
By hand with a plasma cutter I wish I had a plasma cam used one in high school and it was awesome, I'm using 3/8 ar500 4x8 (weighing in at roughly 500lbs.) which is coincidentally the exact size of the hemtt shield.
Alright guys I know its been a while since my last post due to school and work but this weekend it was sub 20's and the old girl fired right up within 2sec. which is impressive considering its still number 2 fuel. Anyways after a warm up we went for a 15mi drive to my shop where this weekend ill...
For those that change out hydraulic filters and are having problems the housing and filter for the high pressure one that is mounted behind the primary fuel filter is a Pall HH9800 and all associated parts can be referenced to it.
Heres a really good pdf to reference
I found that to be a false tale to, I consider my learning time quit short I'd say 25mi. And for me I can put my hemtt in almost any space the m925 can fit given the length.
I haven't yet it'll be dex3 specific but probably whatever is cheapest and still meets requirment
The fuel filters are very easy to fill full and spin on, and the canister take the top off drop new one in and fill to top with fuel. Start engine let it establish prime on its own. I had to...
That's what I love about farm discounts haha I'll run dex3, I don't suppose the truck will ever be pushed hard and I'm more for putting in what they recommend even if I have to stomach the price haha.
A side note that anyone can take with a grain of salt, when I changed the final fuel filter...
Interesting my Allison mechanic said you can either run atf dex3 or if it's severely slipping a heavy motor oil(not a long term fix just from point a to repair shop fix)
Yea the one on passenger side engine behind oil cooler is the canister type, my hydraulic has a spin on on the bottom of chassis and a canister on the passenger side mount to cantry crane.
The hydraulic canister is a

I replaced it but it still leaks think I'm missing one so...
