@@traininggrounds9450 Sure they do that too, but you have to understand just how expensive this stuff is, even with sponsors they have to come out of pocket for basic stuff. Tires are basic items. To make money instead of breaking even or worse you have to conserve. These are not Tycoons. Most of these are regular people, some of which are in debt beyond your imagination. The ones that still look like trucks in the inside? I would not doubt some of them use to go to work. Hahahaha! Trust me when I say, it was probably their idea to hose everything down. When you have to pay 5 to 700 per tire, and drop a couple of grand for rear ends, transmissions, and snapped axles, your tune changes really fast. When people break their stuff, and hop out and cheer, that is just show. At a Mud Hole you can feel the anguish through the smiles and showmanship. Many die on the inside.

wildcoyote I was out of town this weekend and did some thinking about some of the work you have done to you HEMTT, that trans swap had to be a huge undertaking, and I am sure the word huge doesn't even start to describe that, getting that linkage in order to the point of where it would actually work, I just plain wouldnt even know where to start on THAT project. You obviously have some pretty extreme fabrication abilities wildcoyote. I can see the engine and that part I think I would be OK with, I am guessing you had to fabricate all new mounts, of let me re-state THAT, fabricate all new EXTREMELY STRONG NEW engine mounts, 700 HP and torque specs I can only guess had to be interesting!! If you ever get a cnance wildcoyote send me some pics my email address is [e-mail], i would love to see them!!!! karl

[@wildcoyote34]

it actually wasn't that hard from an engineering standpoint ,, i actually don't have a lot of fabrication experience the gear shifter in the cab has a pair of wobble rods that pull and push the shifter on the transmission ,it was actually harder adjusting the linkage after it was made than it was building it ,, I copied a shift linkage from a 5 speed car that had a remote shifter I am entirely self taught as far as welding and fabrication ,,and have always liked building stuff as for the engine mounts I had to make a transmission support bar and had to relocate the 8V92 engine mounts 3 inches forward but other than that it wasn't hard ,,, the stock engine specs say that a 12V-71T makes 525HP at 2100 rpm and 1450 LB/Ft of torque at 1600 rpm mine dynoed 701HP at 2600 and 1700 Lb/Ft at 1700 ,,it's got slightly oversize injectors and the timing has been slightly tweaked and the governor turned up 500 rpm ,,the big addition that made the most difference was a pair of variable geometry turbos built by Blaylock 80mm turbine opening in actuality the way my engine is set up it's very close in line with a C15 CAT engine ,, weight and power are similar ,,,eventually i will want a C15 engine or whatever i can get ,, that's a few years in the future

What year is the hemtt you own?

[@wildcoyote34]

the vehicle i own is a very early production unit it was built in december 1982,pretty sure it is an M977-A0 part of the very first production run ,,it doesn't have any of the electronic equipment later M977A2/A4 trucks have I actually honestly don't know much about it other than what the paperwork I got from the auction said ,,it had been demilitarized in 1995 and it had been stored in oregon of all places ,i know it was rusted to shit when i got it ,,and it took 3 years to return it to operational roadworthy condition ,i got it in 2002 ,and it hadn't been driven in 8 years at least ,,and it was totally stripped of hardware ,,the only thing remotely military related left was the 7.5 ton grove folding crane at the rear

wildcoyote34 sounds like a good find. I wish it had that cat motor though. Million times better than the Detroit.

[@wildcoyote34]

that is a planned upgrade for the future ,, I have done a lot of work to it and it no longer has the 8V-92 currently it has a 12V71 TT that's putting out 700HP ,,C15 cat is a good motor too but very expensive if you can find one , the way i have it set up now i can install whatever engine i feel like because i switched to a manual transmission ,, and i wanna tell you that was one hell of a challenge making that shift linkage but the 18 speed has an advantage too allowing for a much higher top speed and much better fuel economy , i can easily get 6mpg compared to the 2-3 mpg stated in the oshkosh literature
