Not much to show on the tug as I haven't done much other than cleaning it up and removing the push bar the forest service put on it. Interesting thing about the tug is that its 1 of 30 that had the brake system modified by the military to allow it to pull MHU-196 or MHU 173 munition trailers. The tug was stationed at Fairchild AFB in WA when they had the B-52 and worked in the ammo dump.

I've been swapping out parts here & there and my goal is to make her as clean as she was when she rolled of the assembly line back in 1991. Once everything is done on the outside Ill paint her back as she is...

I dont think that air filter will flow enough cfm of air to keep the egt down on that 8.3. Im running a m915 air filter and finally stopped being restricted and had to cut the air filter housing apart to be able to fit it.

I've been running it on the truck for over a year with zero issues plus I don't do any heavy hauling with my truck or even off road her. At current she's basically a parade & take to car/truck events to show off.

I have a complete rebuild thread HERE, in the mean time, I've decided to change her registration from a regular vehicle to Historic Military Vehicle, so in accordance with Louisiana law, "Dirty Gerty" had to come off of the hood, to be replaced by her VIN:

Of course, now my brain is running full speed, so there will be some more changes and updates when I get in from offshore, and hopefully I'll get them posted before the end of the poll.
