No news in this forum lately so I thought we should have some. Had a great surprise today at work. My I-90 snow plow partner showed up at work today, he is on 2 week leave from Irag. He is stationed in Bhagdad for 18 months. We had to talk about the HUMVEES for a bit. He said they recieve about 100 per day. They have alot of body armor put all around them, and weigh a huge amount. They have to drive them hard and fast as to not make much of a target. Slid into a concrete wall the other day and flatten a tire. Their jack was smashed into the ground because of the weight of the unit, so they just drove it back to their base unharmed. He says the diesel engines are working just great and run like like crazy even with the weight of the rig. It was really neat to here that the ole 6.5L is doing it,s job over in Irag. They like them alot.
