What an adventure! I have been on a rollercoaster of emotion through this process. I have been so paranoid that my decisions were somewhat irrational and crazy. To be fair, you don't see too many threads that say "I bought my FMTV for 10K from auction and drove it home 3,000 miles and it was...

haha I know! Sorry guys, I have had so much work to catch up on as well as sleep. My body is still pissed off at me. I am working on my wrap up now, hopefully posted a bit later this evening. sorry for lagging!

Made it home! The Mrs. and I can't thank you all enough! Full report to come after some much needed rest.

I made Barstow, had it in my mind that I wanted In n Out burger, but I just couldn't do the wait today.... it will be a 2 hour stop :( 150 more miles to go!!

I think I am done for the day, I am exhausted. I am 10 miles from California on the 40 and about 350 miles from home. I have been experiencing some new noises and have a little fluid checking to do prior to departure tomorrow AM. I have a squeal coming from the engine area, kind of sounds like...

good things......

Trans cooler fan working, yes sir! Thanks man! I am glad to have done this, I am really learning this truck. I have some minor things to do to it, the main thing is to get it home tomorrow. I am traveling a little slower, as the center driveline is getting a little worse, but I am getting...

Thats very good to hear. Do you have a baseline / max for the MTV vehicles? I ask because it was barely 85 degrees if that, and we travel in 100+ degree weather often. It seemed based on my past temp measurements, that the temps were equally hotter than the ambient air was hotter. Crazy to thing...

i have, after that temp video was taken I stopped 20 miles later and went back and waited to see if they would come on. It took them a few minutes, but they did!

I am on I-40. 1 more day!

Just some guy who had the strength (read speed limiter) to not chase down a car full of Texas girls whom Showed their appreciation for the M1083 via voluntary wardrobe malfunction.

Hey all, finally stopped for the night a little over 1/2 way through New Mexico! Truck is doing great!

i thought it was a win, I expected 6! Hahahaha no haffy yet, I have been busy! you find me one. :)

An update: I just landed in Amarillo. I did a solid 4.5 hours driving at between 47 and 52 mph. For the gentleman who has asked a few times now, and I have been ignoring, I am getting 6.875 miles per gallon. To be honest, I haven’t been paying attention until today. That is a good number, only 1...

I have been over the 10, I hear ya there! I just had a few crazy experiences on the road. That post is just a placeholder for later video.

I love Texas

On the road. Day 3, I have cleared Oklahoma!

I am too tired to type tonight, but I will say I am past OKC, hiding in a lot getting some rest. I’ll catch you up tomorrow! As always, thanks for everything!

It didn’t feel good LOL... any quick intel on fuel tank breathers? Got tank under pretty hardcore vaccuum, may be causing a misfire kind of feeling.
