Nice truck
You are using a low profile tank that will keep the CG low and reduce the chance of rollover.
Your department appear to have a driver training requirement in place which is good.
You should be appauded for helping your community
all of this assumes that both of the internal resistance batteries are exactly the same which is probable not the case in reality. They are probable very close.
Another item that directly affects the battery life is the voltage regulator. The solid state one is much easier on the batteries...
Another option would be a traditional rolloff sometimes you can pick up used ones cheap.
Acme truck parts in stocton ca had several in their yard last month.
I have had good results with interstates.
The solid state voltage regulator helps with battery life.
I also have a keyed kill switch on my batteries so there is no drain during storage.
For the lights you will need to change the bulbs and either add the military connector to your truck or put a civilina connector on the trailer, ther is an electrical junction on the tongue under the metal cover. you can get the correct wiring ends so that you do not have to cut the military...
The M105 has air over hydraulic brakes so you could modify the trailer with the coupler/actuatior from a M105A3, M101A2/A3 trailer and make the brakes work.
The other option is to plumb the truck for air brakes
The blast radius should only be about 1 mile not 1000 miles.
80 in a truck is real fast even for a modern truck and not a truck that is based on a modernized 50's vintage design
I was quoting the weights for the M1061A1 memory
And the data plate is missing from the pole dolly.
The M1061 is very stout but my truck weighs about 10 tons empty, so it is not that much of a problem
