    M916A3/M916A4 Questions

    I am considering a replacement for our venerable M915 (w/ 7155 CAT) that has slightly more comfort but maintains the speed of the original M915. From my research the M916A1 and M915A2 will not fit the bill in terms of speed, what about the M915A4 or M916A3? Thanks.

    Introduction of Air-shift T case and Air Assist Powersteering?

    Was thinking about this the other day, when was the Air-shift transfer case and air-assist power steering introduced? I am going to guess the T case came first and was more widely adopted then the power steering. Thanks

    Recently picked up an USMC M813A1. Trying to register it but the USMC dataplate does not give the manufacture or year. Just the USMC# which I am presuming is the VIN.
