I joined up during the first gulf war, it was long over by the time I got to MCRD. But my MOS was motor transport and I got to hang out with some pretty cool guys. They said they much preferred the old M151 for recon in Kuwait due to its size and weight. It fit in more helicopters, fit in...
Awesome pictures. Thanks for posting. Where did you get the US map on the side of your trailer? I've seen them before but always with the states as boring old primary colors.
Nice Alaskan, should be a little warmer. I drove back to work in Williston on the 29th, the weather and roads sucked. Medora is actually a nice part of North Dakota.:)
Nice progress. I'm watching this build as I used to own and drive a FC170 when I was in my early 20's. I've dealt with Jon from JB before and agree with you 100 percent.
If no trans pan then pull the drain plug and drain it. I've used cheap fluid before when doing multiple flushes like this before. Just used the good fluid on the last flush. Coolant breaks down friction material and the glue holding it on so coolant in your trans can ruin your day quickly...
I would pull the pan off the trans first and get as much coolant out as possible. Then flush the trans. Coolant and transmission friction material don't go together. A few gallons of ATF and an afternoon is much cheaper than a new trans.
