I'm about 30-40 minutes north of lynnwood. You gotta come out!

As I said, any of you are welcome to come out and we'll go burn up some diesel! Just shoot me a PM or call me at home - 360-386-8856 and give me some notice and the first two beers are on me!

I thought about that, but ultimately I think it would be easier to just hitch it up on my car trailer. That way if I have any kind of mechanical problems I can get it off without needing the crane so I can get to help if need be. My Jeep is a lifted and locked Grand Cherokee one 1-ton axles...

It is SO much fun to drive!!! Even though it's big, as long as you keep an eye on your mirrors, and keep in mind that they hang out on the right side and are at perfect street-sign smacking height (I learned this the hard way), it's not too bad. I keep the yellow line right at the left edge...

I drove the hemtt over to the shop today for the tranny removal. First gear was slipping so bad it made it necessary to creep up the 15% grade leaving my neighborhood in 8-LOW in reverse to preserve the 1st gear clutches. As soon as I made it to the top I turned around and cruised about 20...

What a joke. For $175000 I will Sell you my hemtt with a luxury-appointed conex container full of wood flooring and anything else you want. Give me a break....

I really like the look of these and would love to check on out and see how it compared to the hemtt. After seeing how resourceful you have to be to get hemtt stuff, I think I 'll stick with the American steel, though. It sounds like that would be a very expensive rig to put together and...

a member here - MOG1218 - has one. Check with him.

Obviously having owned two other MV's with manual trannies, I have been on both sides of the manual/automatic street. Here's the thing - You really should drive a hemtt. These trucks are so easy to make go so fast! It really is nice to jump up in the cab with coffee mug in hand, wind...

check out what the boys over at Bobistheoilguy forums say... (by the way, for any of you have the stomach for truly dizzying oil and fluid science with very little talk of the actually vehicle that contains it, this is your place. These guys KNOW oils.... They LOVE oils.... It's quite an...

Okay, per the Allison HT 750 CRD manual, I can run any dextron III, or C-4 approved 10-40 or 15-40 oil. I use Delo 400 40 weight in the engine as it's a 8V92, but can I use regular Delo 400 15-40 in it? I pulled the specs on the Delo 400, and it has this to say - Chevron Delo 400 Multigrade...

Well, this poses an interesting dilemma.... Tell me this - What type of military equipment was the Allison HT750CRD used in? I've got the Allison literature saying one thing, the military literature saying another.... I guess to start with I need to know what piece of equipment this...

Crushing cars with MV's will cause you endless suffering at the hands of fellow Steel Soldiers, take my word for it. I know from personal experience.... I say if it's not your truck or car, you should worry about what's going on in your own backyard..... Not mine. I can't wait to put...

Here's an unpleasant update to share with you all.... I have been driving the truck a bit lately, and have found that I need to replace my just-replaced tranny once again..... It's definitely not what I want to spend my money on, but it's been slipping pretty bad in first gear since I first put...

Any time, my friend. I would love to meet someone that worked with these trucks "for real". Incidentally I locked it in 8-low the other day at my folks place and climbed up a dirt hillside a little ways. Once you lock in the front axles they really grip the terrain! I guess...

The place to get more info is through the host of those pictures - Puget Sound MVCC. I think they would probably like to know who's coming, etc, so they can plan ahead. Like I said, I have no official involvement in this at all other then I will be there to have a good time and meet people...

Okay guys, I'm not much of an organizer or volunteer, but I posted this info elsewhere on SS earlier but I think it should get out there so everyone in the NW area can get this info easily. The event is held each year at the Arlington Air Show, also called the EAA Fly-In. (Experimental...

The EAA Fly-In and Military vehicle show/parade is July 7-12, 2009. Here is a link to pictures of the showing last year, but I hear rumblings that it will be larger in 2009. http://psmvcc.oldmv.com/images/2008arlington/arlington2008big.htm Here's other pics too from 2007...

If we can get enough people together I'd love the excuse to let the hemtt strectch it's freeway legs a little ways. I'm up in Arlington, and every year at the annual airshow here there is a pretty good showing of military vehicles and armor. I'll be there this year with mine. Welcome aboard!
