All these Humvees may have been serviced by the same mechanic in the
military's Motor Pool! After all, 'Joe/Josephine knows how to do it, let
him/her change all of the them. :-)
I remember looking at Canadian surplus M38A1CDN2 (1967-68 Cdn mfg) &
M38A1CDN3 (1970-71 US mfg) jeeps in 1986-1987 in Burnaby, BC. The radiators
were supposed to sit on some bracing rods underneath. Not one was correctly
mounted!
