Yours sounds like it's running as it should. I drove mine a couple of times yesterday and with ambient temp in the upper 90s, it got to 190-200 with the louvers full open. This was driving down the road, not at parade speed.

What temps are you guys hitting in the heat of summer. Had a busy month with parades and car shows the last couple of weeks but had a 4th parade yesterday and the temps outside were 95 plus. In the parade I got up to 190 or just over,and on the ride home with a lot of steep hills got almost to 200 but came down to 175/180. Thanks.

Going forward with this project. Estimated cost for a set of 8 bond straps is $110 plus s/h. However, the company does have a slight backlog and they won't be available until August.
Please post up if you are interested. I would like to place the order the week after the Fourth of July.

From the Operator's Manual, Section S-33AR, pg 3b:
7 1/2 quarts for transmissions w/out power takeoff, 9 quarts for transmissions with power takeoff for the winch.
You can also find this in TM9-710, pg 207, and TM9-710 TO 19-75A-77, pg 223.

I finally drained the Transmission yesterday with half of the Oil going in the driveway when the Filler plug fell into the Funnel, plugging it. On a Positive note, The Oil looked clean with no signs of water and not a speck of metal on the drain plug. I tested the Magnet and it was strong enough to pick up 3 grease fittings off the bench. I poured 1 qt. of Transmission through the Shift tower opening and will add more today once I find the capacity of the transmission! I can't find the capacities in all of those books I bought from Portrayal or the French manual I picked up last week. If I can top it off I can let it soak for a bit while I work on other parts of the truck. While I am here I have been Wire Brushing and Painting a bit at a time underneath and everything I encounter appears to be Matte Black and not O.D. like every other Military Vehicle I have owned. Early Lot 5. Any guesses? Thanks.
