From ground to the top of the "air conditioner" box on the roof of the truck is closer to 13'8". I'm not sure about other states, but I know that Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and California DOTs all us to run on civilian highways and roads that are approved by each state for our total...

Glad to have you here! Welcome from Fort hood by way of Afghanistan. The diesel bug bites hard and there is no return after. FMVs are a fun hobby to get in to. Personally i don't have any yet. But have been kicking around the idea of getting an M1008 CUCV for curing my need to modify things...

I've also found 2 online retailers for parts, equipment and special tools required for engine re-builds and overhauls. They also carry a wide variety of injectors, after-coolers, turbo blankets, and other marine specific parts. Keep in mind that these marine engines have a max factory power...

At 65 MPH, the truck was turning over about 2,500RPM. Some trucks will take it, some wont. The trucks we had in Iraq back then were Absolut work horses and we had both Allison and Detroit service techs there in our motor pool. I would never attempt any thing over 50 MPH in the trucks we have...

That is the 3rd revision of this manual. Currently there is 1 more update, but hasn't become public yet. After looking at this TM, some of the operating principles of the engine I described Were for What is currently being used in the conflict I'm currently serving in. The biggest difference is...

That looks like an MTS mount. If it is, It looks to be mounted wrong. There is a heavy 1/2 Plate that it is mounted to then the plate mounts to the dash. unfortunately I cant take pictures of the interior of the Trucks we have out here for operational security reasons. That and all over our...

Well, those pictures were not taken in Fort Hood. More so Afghanistan. We don't have a GPS system specifically that goes in the truck. And I haven't seen a Chem. alarm system work in my military career. No lap tops ether. Having said that, if I start to get vague I'm sorry. Some stuff I cant...

enjoy

The location of the TMs is in the TM sub section, under current conflict vehicles. I'm gathering other information and data currently. I hope the information I provide is useful

180th disbanded and was de-activated about a year ago. I was in 180th from 2007 until they shut down. Home station BN is 553rd, for now. Why may I ask?

I have HET specific manuals in PDF format now. I'm not sure where to post them or how on this forum. Please give me the guidance and direction so I can share this information please

I was born in to auto mechanics and performance modifications. I was less than 4 weeks old and my dad had me on his chest while under his muscle car swapping transmissions. And its been a passion of mine ever since. I went to school for this, being awarded a degree and multiple certifications...

Thank you sir. I can tell you I will be home in time for Christmas, along with all of my fellow troops with in my unit.

I hope this works

absolutely not. Your OTR truck engine was bad. Or you had the jake break on at all times of engine operation, the turbo seals were going bad, piston rings not sealing properly, and/or the valve seals were worn or bad. Although it is true that this motor is a 2 cycle engine, it doesn't operate...

Yes, the hood is fiberglass, but the grill is armor grade steel. Its going to take more that 99% of what's available to the civilian sector in both weapons and ammunition to stop the motor. How do I know? I've seen one of these take 8 PKM hit to the engine compartment. The vehicle was able to...

So far I've sourced 2 M1008s for sale. But I'm not going to hold up other buyers ether. I refuse to buy a vehicle sight unseen. That being said, I'm still in Afghanistan.

When stuck, heavily loaded, BE CAREFUL reversing. You can and will twist, snap, and break drive shafts. The weak point is the weld to the U-joint. Never neutral ride down hill. If your moving, never spend any time in neutral. That's how you fry your transmission pump and possibly your converter...
