Someone please tell me that is not a Mack powered M52A1,if it is ,I may have to gouge my eyeballs out!!

Well,at this point I have enough "seat time" in the 816 to answer this,It varies between 4 and 6.6 mpg,depending on load and towed loads.Both trips to haul home the 2 M123's I purchased(about 31K and 22K respectively) the 816 got about 4.3 mpg.Both trips to Aberdeen averaged between 5.6 and 6...

Asheville would work for me(especially since it's 45 min away for me)definetly would have no problem attending with 2 vehicles maybe 3.And I definetly could handle recovery with the wrecker [thumbzup].

Just talked to Cabell,817 made it home with no problems,so I would say this trip went very successfully,despite "murphys" attempts to throw a wrench into it.

WHEW!!!,Home Safely!!!816 shot out another alt somewhere around VA,NC state line.Parted from Cabell around 11:00(we made good time)so he should be checking in around 1:30 PM.817 is running well despite the sucking air problem(actually pulled away from me on a few hills in WVA)and yes for the...

The NO's ran a Mack model EY inline 6cyl gasoline engine,707 ci,159 hp @2100 rpm,534 ft/lbs torque @800 rpm.Governed speed is 2100 rpm,max speed of the the truck is 32 mph.The NO's shared many of the driveline components with the later M series 10 ton M123/125 trucks.

If you can find a Mack powered cargo or tractor,GET IT!!!!!!!I've kicked myself a hundred times for selling mine.But I will have another.

Got home about 2100 hrs,816 ran great all the way home,very few if ANY leaks!No estimates on fuel compsution yet gonna crunch numbers tomorrow night.

I;m just repeating what everyone else has said,take the plunge,Deuces are handy trucks to have around.Bought mine in 99 with a broken crank and had sat for 8 yrs,It is the most dependable vehicle in the "stable" although the wrecker is a close second!Still after having 25 MV's and numerous...

Well,went out to move the M200A1(to remove the waste oil tank mounted on it) decided to use the Deuce.Ck the oil,jump in the cab,hit the start button.Engine starts,runs 2 seconds and dies,Hmmmm.Try again,same result.Hmmm,1 more time,start,apply fuel,POP!!! notice something flying from the stack...

Same here Cabell,Hmmm,that deuce i'm looking at is on the way to Columbia.Maybe take the 816 and drag another one home? :driver:

The level wind is different and will not swap between winches.I would be interested in it as I need one more for my 123E2 restoration.Could you send me or post the part# off the data plate?

Ok,my computer is on the fritz,because all I get of the convoy website is the opening page.At any rate, Yellow Serial-Florida to Aberdeen Brandon Cobb, M816 with M105

Ok,gonna interject my 2cents here,I'd go with the FS 595A standard 24087 semi-gloss OD and the all white markings and stars.True it doesn't stand out as much,but the truck stands out from modern day MVs.

CS,I may have room in the 105 for it,plus it will give me an excuse to check out Charle's place down there.Just let me know.

Got 1 Opie,good T/O with parking brake drum.PM me for more info.

Nice truck Cabell!,Get my phone message on Sat?Do I hear a wrecker trip coming to pick it up? :driver:
