Weight of a Detroit Diesel 6V53T

[L1A1]

Any ideas what the weight of a power pack is out of an M548A1? It's the same one used in the M113A2 so it's a Detroit Diesel 6V53T with the Allison X200-3 cross drive transmission.

I couldn't find the weight of the Allison.

Thanks. I think the term "Powerpack" includes the transmission as well (but am not 100% on that).

I believe you are correct about the term. I couldn't find the weight of the assembly, so I thought I could find individual weights and add them up...thought I could get close. Seems Allison is a little tight-lipped on their specs for products sold to defense companies.

I dont know of the weight, but we used to pull 548 packs with a 5t wrecker, but it didnt matter if we broke it b/c we didnt own it.

Good attitude.

Did the 5t wreckers struggle with the weight?

I did the conversion of the metric weight given in that link to lbs and something must be off. I really don't think that powerpack as a whole weighs in at 8T?!

Both this - http://powerforce.com/PDFs/2Cycle_Engines/DS_PF6V-53T_CMP.pdf

and this - http://www.detroitdieselpartsdirect.com/Documents/detroit-diesel-specs/6V53T-Industrial.pdf

Say a 6V53T weighs 1695 lbs.

This - http://www.allisontransmission.com/...e/11568_atm_sales_sheets_x200-4b.pdf?sfvrsn=2 says 1025 lbs for the Allison.

and this - http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-9-2520-272-34-and-P.pdf says 955 or 975 for the X200-4 and X2004-A.

So... something like 2700 lbs.

The 6v53 turbo was used in the M113A3, not the A2. The M113A2 had a regular 6v53.
