@@AriakkiYT yes, it’s a fun little run!

@@robdmau I posted one on my IG: Outdooraholic_ep instagram.com/reel/C17PSZtL3yt/?igsh=MXMwcWZmeDA1dnpydA==

@@dsmracer524 got ya, I’m not on that…

@@robdmau gotcha. I’ll try to get something up on UA-cam soon.

@@SentinelWERA43 thank you!

@@Jay172967 thank you! Sounds like a great combo!

I drive it! I have driven it all over Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah over the past couple of years. Thanks for asking!

I had a leak once but the cause was a lose hub nut. I upgraded to the Blue Hummer locking hub for Mod Mafia nuts and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s a beast, an M998 with a Duramax swap!

Southern New Mexico starting at Leesburg Dam State Park in Radium Springs.

Just drive my bicycle though there 🚲

Awesome, thank you!

Awesome! Thanks for the comment! We were just passing through on a particularly cold day!

This is a 6.5 but there are lots of 6.2’s still out there.

I found this one for sale on Facebook marketplace a few years ago. You can also buy them direct from the government via online auction sites.

@@dsmracer524 ima start lookin their cause been lookin at facebook market place and the ones their are nice but outa my budget

Thanks you! Yeah, my wife and kids all opted to get out and watch for this obstacle, I think they saw a few too many rollover vids on Hells Gate beforehand! The Humvee did great though!

That’s a sweet rig owned by Dave Breggin and built by Mod Mafia!

Section (c) reads, "The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free." You really need to read the regulations and stop pissing veterans like me the fuck off.

I am sorry you feel that way. I take great pride in the American flag and feel there is no more fitting place for one than in an ex-Military Humvee.

Just about a minute or so to let it even out and then off we went!

That’s awesome! This was my first start in temps that low. I was told the diesel available down here will help below about 15 degrees so I took a precaution by adding the treatment. We were still hundreds of miles from home and didn’t want to be stranded.

I hear electric vehicles aren’t doing so hot in the cold.

I don’t have a block heater, and even if I did, we were at a hotel hundreds of miles from home. We also don’t have winter blend diesel in Texas, this was very cold for us down here.

Thank you! It’s a custom made top by Blue Ox!

That’s great. It’s a little different in Texas. Temps this low are very unusual here and we don’t have winter blend diesel. You are right that windchill doesn’t not effect the cold start, but it was cold for me so I felt it was worth mentioning.

@dsmracer524 usually takes below zero to get gel or parafin to form in Diesel ..at least whith what we get up here. Definitely best to go with winter fuel, but if you end up running the lighter fuel for any length of time definitely throw some upper cylinder lube ( marvel mystery, ATF, Howes conditioner or even two stroke premix oil in it ) It is Very "dry" and will end up wearing out the pointless and nozzles in the injectors pretty rapidly if you dont. Thing to watch for then is and of it that is red can get you trouble if they dip the tanks because it now looks like "dyed" fuel.

They don’t have winter blend in Texas though and no block heater or way to plug in at a hotel. We don’t usually encounter temps that low here, so I was happy that it started on its own!

The heater is another story. It couldn’t keep at at all in those temps and it felt like it was blowing lukewarm air. I have flushed the heater core and replaced the valve with an OEM one and verified that it’s fully open but it didn’t provide much relief from the cold.

@@dsmracer524 that’s interesting. I don’t even have the arctic package and mine is plenty warm. I did replace my heater core entirely though.

@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures I might need to do that. I feel it should be much warmer considering the coolant temp is 200-220*. The fan blows hard, it just wasn’t hot coming out of the vents.

I’m just glad it started!

I didn’t name it, its been all over the news.

Haha, I guess it’s all about perspective. This is in Texas and we had over 40 consecutive days over 100* this summer, which is more normal here than a single day in single digits.

⁠​⁠@@dsmracer524 holy hell that sounds awful. I gotta ask, would you rather do 40 days at 100+ or 40 like it is in your video?

@@thinkharderyourealmosthere I much prefer the heat!

I painted it myself with Raptor liner and it’s held up great over the past 2 years!

Absolutely not!

@@dsmracer524 Awesome, thought saw a listing for it in a FB group.

In my experience it is only locked while the brake is applied and throttle engaged.

@@dsmracer524 Ohhh okay thanks

This is the second one I’ve snapped in the exact same manner, so I always carry a spare now. Both of them were the “heavy duty” updated Moog units. David from HPG is working with me to fix the issue and he just sent me another new pitman and a new centerlink. He thinking the centerlink could be causing the pitman arms to break.

Thank you very much! When I heard that remix I knew right away how I wanted to put it together and it turned out great!

@@dsmracer524 I think beastie boys sabotage would work too.

Thank you!

Once I got it tuned correctly, I still get about 45 miles per gallon (depending on speed). Initial tune with the FP3 dropped gas mileage significantly but I called V&H and they were able to fix it.

I've either built or had someone build all my sliders and racks and stuff for my Humvees. It's built better and you can get exactly what you want. Any welder in your town can do amazing things. Take it home and paint it.

That’s right, BTM!

@@dsmracer524I’m learning to drive mine - does the Transfer Case really have to be locked for it to work? I can’t really get it to engage in H

@@abc-ed1nr yes, it has to be in either HL or L for BTM to engage.

@@dsmracer524 thank you, that makes sense that it would engage easier while locked. I don’t usually lock mine until I’m in trouble. But it’s weird that you have to shut the truck off to shift the T case

@@abc-ed1nr you don’t have to shut it off, just shift the transmission into neutral.

Thank you very much!

I would love to take it up there! Alaska is the only state I haven’t been to yet and it’s on my bucket list. Thanks!
