Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone.

I own a 1997 A M General H1 Hummer 6.5 Turbo Diesel. The truck is a monster, monstrously fun to drive, monstrously capable off road and monstrously expensive to maintain and keep in good running order.

So, the latter being the case, I am very seriously considering selling the H1 and getting a brand new Power Wagon.

I have been doing some research about the PW and so far I'm loving what I am learning about these trucks.

My first question is this: I read on Wikipedia that the previous generation (I think the one with the 5.7 liter Hemi) had a limited slip rear diff. Does the current model have that too?

Looking forward to learning more about the Power Wagon :)

Here is another question about the 2015 / 2016 PW:

How is the transmission and transfer case cooled? Do they have separate cooling circuits and separate coolers or is this some form of integrated setup where they run their lines through the main radiator?

I suppose I can't hurt to share a few picture of my current setup:
