It can lift 2500 pounds out to 19 feet and 4500 pounds at 9 feet out. It will run down the highway at 65+ mph, but I don't run it over 57 mph or so. I believe GVW is 64000 (although it is higher if you consider the towed load).
After seeing the pictures that Dave (N3UKA) posted, I thought I would post a few pics of my HEMTT. A huge "thanks" goes to David Doyle for taking these shots.
Enjoy...
Speaking of first class, James, I am envious of your stable! You've got some beautiful trucksm too. I drool over that M911 (not to mention your M1075 and the M816)...one of these days, I'll get one. :D
I've owned several M939 series trucks (M936A2, M932A2, M929A1, M928A1, M932) and currently own a few more (two M925A2s and an M929) so I have experience with both motors. While I love the NHC250, I prefer the 6CTA 8.3L motor. The 6CTA just seems more snappy and it sure is much quieter. For...
I was told that you get low on the heater blower by running only 12 volts to a 24 volt motor (I believe that is how it was described to me) so this makes sense.
Chris,
You can start that truck on two batteries. The two bad/low batteries must be dragging the others down. I only have two batteries in the camo M925A2 and you heard that one start when we were down in NC. Don't get me wrong...if it is bitterly cold, two batteries won't be enough, but the...
I remember someone on this list posting something to the effect of..."please post about trucks coming up because I sometimes don't have the time to search for them." It was a post back in January when this same topic came up. Obviously, not everyone knows about them all. Heck, I follow GL...
I know that no one wants to hear this after they have posted...but keep these things to yourselves. We all know about GL. IF other have not done their homework, shame on them. No need to alert those that don't care to put in the effort. You now have served to point out to the Internet world...
Here are a few pics of my old USMC M817 before and after. It did not look like in the BEFORE pics, but that truck had been overhauled just 4500 miles before I got it. I should never have sold that truck. Enjoy!
I usually pressure my trucks...no soap or scrubbing...and everything comes out clean! I am not sure why you'd have to scrub. Be careful not to set the pressure washer on the highest setting as you can literally write in the CARC with the water! I've never done it, but I've seen it happen.
Adam,
If you had posted this a year ago, I could have helped you. I recently sold the most cherry 1987 Navy M49A2C that I have ever seen (possibly the nicest original deuce I've ever seen). The Navy deuces are out there...but they are fairly rare.
I am sure someone with military experience will chime in, but I would bet that there is no correct direction for the field spades. To the best of my knowledge, this was a field modification (at least they were not on my M936A2). As such, I would bet these mods are subject to individual...
I've heard that same thing that IDA34 said. My question: why would the enemy want to target a shop van or a wrecker over a cargo truck that might be carrying troops? Is it because they are specialized vehicles?
Thanks!
The wrecker and the tractor definitely do not share the same chassis. With regard to how the wreckers ride, I think they are probably a better ride than the other 5 tons because of the extra weight.
jh1990, yes the troop seats, bows and cargo cover are for the dump bed, They are as close to new as possible without being new. I bought everything new and had it installed for a few months (under cover).
...and, by the way, if it the "troop seat factor" that you care about, I have the correct troop seats, bows and 3 color vinyl cargo cover. Available for an extra fee.
