Ladies and Gents,
To begin with, I'd like to say that this site and its members are a class act. I only joined a few days ago and everyone has been extremely friendly and helpful. It's like family and I'm fortunate to be part of it.
I'm about to become the owner of my first military vehicle...
Totally agree, but high speeds isn't my motivation. It's low RPMs to reduce wear and tear on the engine at reasonable speed. I don't plan to exceed 65mph ever.

Thanks for the reply. I have the high speed 307's in the axles. Looking at 1400s for tires. Any other suggestions to get those RPM's down?

Looking to install a custom camper to my M1083. Does anyone have pictures of how the box is attached for a M1079 or M1087?

Thanks for the reply. Yep, looking at 1400's. From what I've researched that's the largest size possible without lifting the truck or cutting wheel wells to avoid tire rub or limitations.

Thanks for the reply. I'm about to own my first one so I'm learning a lot.
If I understand you correctly, the CTIS simply notifies you with an informative warning and then inflates accordingly. However, it doesn't govern the speed or limit the truck, correct?

Vehicle is a 2007 M1083 with CAT C7 and Allison 3700 SP. I already have 307 gears installed but would like to reduce RPMs even more on the highway. Is it possible to add an overdrive to the transmission?
