Creighton Williams Abrams Jr. (September 15, 1914 – September 4, 1974) was a United States Army General who commanded military operations in the Vietnam War from 1968-72 which saw U.S. troop strength in Vietnam fall from 530,000 to 30,000. He served as Chief of Staff of the United States Army from 1972 until shortly before his death in 1974. In honor of Abrams, the U.S. Army named the XM1 main battle tank after him as the M1 Abrams.

Nope, but it is making a huffinf-puffing sound. Sounds like a loud vacuum leak somewhere, but don't have any other troubles other than some noise, Can't figure it out.

TPBM knows why my truck sounds like a choo-choo train.
