TobyS, Thanks! I use the troop seats from time to time, I take them out when I use the truck as a dump truck.

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The first time you trip/pull the cord, and it rips wires out instead of just disconnecting the plug, you'd thank me.....Thanks TechnoWeenie. I thought about on of those, just not sure I want to put a 2" hole in the side of the cab.
You can get all the help you need from your boys and a few shovels HA!Refilled my tires with air. Drove my truck onto soft ground close to the house which was dry at the moment so I could charge the batteries. It rained very hard last night and showered a bit today. Read the tm, aired down to 12 psi and thankfully put the 5 ton back in it's normal parking spot. Spent the next 2 hours airing up the tires. Batteries should be fine now. Very happy today didn't turn into a I need help post!
Seriously? You better back the thirsty b off some.Spontaneous road trip to Birmingham AL to recover an M35A2. 310 mile trip, 120 miles of which were pulling the truck through the hills, ran her hard when unloaded, and didn’t give it much slack loaded either. Burnt $200 of fuel![]()

I never dropped below 60 going out even through the hills, and never dropped below 55 coming back loaded. Pulling uphill I managed to clean out my exhaust with a light orange flame projecting 3” out the straight pipe, let’s just say that little 8.3 was strokingSeriously?

With a deuce on a towbar not even a stock 8.3 should drop below 60. Still should be over 330 miles to the tank. I was consistently around 360miles to the tank on the stock tanks. Around 64gal before it would start sucking the bottom grossing 55 to 60k. You saw how fast your little A2 could go from Montgomery to it's home being towed. It is alot of moving mass in those axles.I never dropped below 60 going out even through the hills, and never dropped below 55 coming back loaded.

E, this is awesome, actually. Could be the first documented performance of a 5 ton here. I've been wanting to make a database of M939xx truck performance, and the effect each mod has on it. Can you state what the air temp or elevation was on the run, and any performance mods you have done to the motor (IP fueling increase or timing change, air filter, etc....). Thanks.ran the truck down the 1/4 mile at Montgomery drag strip. Made for a 24.38 second pass at 54ish mph!![]()
M923A2 with stock components, MAX fuel low & main, timing at 15.5°, upgraded air filter for better flow, upgraded fuel filter system, air temp was 83°, elevation I’d have to look up but guessing 800-1000 above.

No I don’t, yet. The Allison gets grouchy at wide open if I let it shift on its own, manually is a lot betterDo you have a EGT and boost gauge? Also, was the allison happy during full throttle shifts? Mine struggles to shirt firmly when WOT
I don’t care what it costs, I will walk on that big cam with my 8.3 when I’m doneI will make it fair. Ill tow a 931 on my trailer when I have a big cam under the hood and we can compare times!
