Be careful, some Army mechanics I've spoken with told me the HEMTT drives like a pig with the cab armor on.

New Truck-Lite LED headlights . . . low power drain, excellent focusing and high output. I have the older ones and I LOVE them!

I was just passing along the word from an eyewitness in the sandbox, he was driving the truck following and witnessed the carnage. He claimed it was typical to raise the governor or disable it entirely. No doubt the Mk48 would be better truck for maneuvering but I wouldn't let my wife run down...

Nope, it still pivots at the lunette, it is only by much greater mass and leverage that the truck just pushes the front trailer tires sideways. It's best to just avoid backing if at all possible.

Backing up is simple, lock the steering bar and push the trailer where you want it. If you want to try steering backward you will probably be limited to movements of about 10-15 feet if you are good/lucky.

It tows nicely, follows the truck perfectly, but it was purpose made for a HEMTT.

What do you call a sharp un-comanded turn at 60 mph in a forwarded controlled vehicle . . . death. What do you call 2 M977's or M985's involved in a rear ender with each other, kiss the crane with your face, then meet your maker.

My wife and I have driven ours several thousand miles, easy to learn and drive. People may confuse it with the Mk48 which will kill you in some instances.

I suppose, I've had one quite a while and know it pretty well now: four two 5 - 516 - eight one 68 Stuart

My modifications allows my wife and I to go from fully enclosed to topless with the bows stowed in 4-5 minutes EASY! It is less than 10 min to completely put up the top and have it ready to roll down the road. Stock, this is NOT the case, PITA! I even made bow stowage rack for my custom 1...

Detroit 2 stroke Diesels will not run without the supercharger, it is part of the induction system. If you let off the fuel cutoff at just right time, the engine will run backwards.

It was a crying shame the Army wanted to stock one less lubricant and put motor oil in the transmissions! When mine came out it was shot and the prior owner decided that if he had to pay for a full rebuild, it might as well be a 5 speed. I've heard the lifetime of the transmissions with motor...

The supercharger isn't really used as such, it provides little boost, it is simply an air pump to scavenge the cylinders of exhaust gasses and all 4 valves in the head are for exhaust. I was able to get the new (NOS) cover for $200 shipped and the bows from a guy here on SS. I had new bed...

Congrats, welcome to the HEMTT club. Are you planning a full restoration of just patch as it needs to be serviceable?
