My oldest son is in the Army,hi is in training, he is going to be a Light Wheeled Mechanic.
He called me today and told me that last night he did the head gaskets on a HUMVEE engine, its a Duramax 6.5L turbo diesel. (185 horse power)
Under 8 hrs start to finish.
Granted it was on a engine stand, but still...

Very cool Spike, you must be proud....have him snag one of those diesels so you can throw it in your Disco when the time comes

Also, I very much appreciate his service to our country
