    FMTV High Speed Gears

    sstephens637 I don't know why you are posting all this info on a A1. The truck in your sig line and the one you posted pics of in another thread is a M1078 A0. It has a Cat 3116, Allison 3070 and has a WTEC11 trans selector. They were upgraded a few years later to the WTEC111. BAE had an...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    LOL, It is called a SD Brazos. The commercial version of the FMTV. They were fitted with the 5.9. The CAT 3116 was used in Chevy/GMC Top Kicks / Kodiaks in the early '90s.
