Years in the army and my most favorite sound was the ol 88

I love the sound of the m88 and m60a1 tank. I remember back in 1980's in the army. I miss it so!

The sounds at 3:40 brings back sooo many memories.

always loved the 88. when hear that turbo coming you no shit is getting fixed.

That rev at 3:40. Yeah baby!!

I owe my life to that vehicle 🙏

the APU's were more deafening than the main engine

Yeah, I miss that sound.

I remember when I was in F Co. 302ndCharlie FMT, It got so cold the year I was there we had to do cold starts twice a day. Loved being there!

Looks like Korea Hmmmm Hovey or Casey? I could tell by the hills and motorpool. lol

Cold starting the m88 is fuckin badass

Ours didn't have that camo paint and at idle sounded like a pack of twin row wasps with a bad plug or two with lots a smoke.

Is this in Korea?

yeah 4:38 theres a billboard that says Camp Casey which is in South Korea.

The old M88's were better, they ran on Mogas, that was way back in the day.

When going to the field on the autobahn we were the last in the convoy and would slow down and let the germans get close put her in nutral and rev her up so the flames would shoot out the back. The germans would shit n their pants. Oh the old days!!

No way does an m88 compare to the herc. The herc is in a different class man. Top tier

The old M88 was not better. It may have had that "neat" nostalgic factor but that's it. The Herc is superior in every way, literally.

Does it start on gas or something? Sound changed dramatically after a while.

So the first engine you hear is the APU, just a small engine that charges the battery and runs some aux stuff. Most of the time it helps the main engine start, especially when its cold

@@davidfrederick6302 Right. I was referring to when they first fired the big engine. It sounded like a lopey gas engine and it was billowing out white smoke. Eons ago I worked on a ranch, one of the pieces of equipment we used was an old 1950's IH TD6 bulldozer that you started on gas before switching to diesel. It had a similar lopey sound on gas.

@@Whance_Chilkins the first sound you heard was the engine attempting to warm up, clear out and reach the proper rpms for idle. The driver helped speed up the proccess by stepping on the trottle and clearing out that white smoke quicker, afterwords you heard the proper idle.

I'm stationed on Camp Casey lol
