Repaired my cooling stack fins and took the M1151A1 out for a one hour mini convoy cruise with @wadeyoung. Stopped for a photo op in front of an A7 and M60 at a local park.

Not much going on down here in TX, I am becoming such a wuss in my old age, at 60F I was actually cold on my 60 mile round trip to the docs this morning in the DuraVee and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt!, of course had to stop at my #4 favorite Chinese buffet after the apt. in Portland.

That dude doesn't have the guts to man the turret.

I finally get to post in this thread.
It's plated and legal now. Still several odd jobs around the vehicle that need doing. Rides good other than the feeling that the wheels aren't completely of a necessary round shape.

What a difference a couple days can make, Friday I made a 120 mile jog through Corpus to pick up the FAVs repaired fuel tank and the custom consol my metals guys made for the FAV, out to Aransas Pass to pick up some marine stuff and back home, mid 70s blue sky no doors and short sleeve shirt.
Monday, raining 48 deg, doors and heater, heavy long sleeve shirt to make a little run up to Beeville for parts.

Woke up at 4:30 to go to work with about 4" of snow on the ground and nothing plowed. Took the Grand Cherokee which is very good in snow due to electronic locking diffs and traction control, plus four new Mickey Thomson BajaBoss AT tires. We got off early because the snow kept falling - that's pretty unusual and nobody knows how to act. Saw several cars against the guardrail or in the ditch, all vehicles that should have stayed in the driveway.
After I got home I took the M1165 out to see how it does in the snow. This thing is hard to stop! Most of the hills were slick and all four wheels spun getting up them. The M1009 is a little better in my opinion, but I think a lot of that is the tires.

Short sleeve weather in South Texas again.
I ran the flywheel for the FAV to the machine shop in Corpus today, always enjoyable making a trip in the DuraVee

Another gorgeous short sleeve day in S TX.
Got to play with a new toy that a friend gave me, it really does not give the information I was looking for but the 0-100KMH function is pretty cool.
This is with the stock 365HP tune, I have not been able to get the 475HP tune to play well long term and it really is not necessary to experience the fun factor of the DuraVee.
All this really gives me is the information I already have, VSS, RPM, etc. but for free what the heck, now I can do some research and get one that will give me what I want, boost, and some others
Unfortunately on the LMM it looks like the BCM (body control module) figured things like fuel mileage as when they built the LMM they ran out of memory in the ECM and passed some things off to the BCM which I do not have in this stand alone package, I may see if I can hook it up and make it play with the ECM,TCM and TCCM

short sleeves are over rated. Send us some pics when you’re back in your speedo.
High fifties last week. 40’s now. I love global warming. Looking for my beachfront house in NYC to become the new Miami.

Any chance you could use a few more acronyms in that so that those of us not good at guessing will be completely clueless, rather than just mostly clueless as to what you're talking about?

Google is your friend..
VSS, vehicle speed sensor
RPM, the revolutions per minuet the engine is turning.
ECM, engine control module
TCM, transmission control module
TCCM, transfer case control module
BCM, body control module.
LMM, the Duramax engine built from 2006.5-2010
The original 2008 LMM had 5 computers, the ones listed above and a brake control module, can't remember the acronym for that one.

Your HMMWV is amazing, but I'm a simple man.
Since I rebuilt my PCB and started teaching others how to do it, I have no IC's and no CM's in my FMV. Makes me happy.
YMMV

Yet another beautiful day in S TX.
Had to run up to Beeville and pick up some 24 bolt paired rims at Fastenal.
7 rims for under $400 shipped, not a bad deal around here, Thanks Austin!!
Not sure what to make of that hair, the mullet of the 21st century I suppose, all party in the back and old in the front...
Of course we did have to make several other stops.

One day I should have stayed home.......
Went unto Corpus to pick up some sheared steel for the FAV project, 38F raining
Had lunch at a really nice BBQ place, went home, put on some light gloves and unloaded the steel, managed to let one of the 1/8" pieces slip.....
dang thing was SO sharp it cut through my glove and the top of my hand severing two ligaments, the index and the second finger.
So 5 weeks with my left hand in a splint...
Gotta say I am pretty happy with our health care down here, injured at 1:30, went to Beeville ER, transferred to Corpus, the "best hand guy in Corpus" lined up an operating room, went under general and was back home by midnight.
It's always something.......
So 5 weeks with nothing to do but give out advice, aren't y'all lucky
