You are not watching the postings, he flew out to Oregon & drove it most of the way home...till Murphy showed up.
James, that open hood shot is nothing short of amazing; you seriously scored on buying this truck. Awesome find & deal./

James,
Really nice truck, looks new under a little dust. Glad you made it home.
I love the three lever light switch sticking out of the dash.

54 mph with the 11Rx22.5 tires and 1900 rpm. Will have rpm set to 2100 soon and I have 11Rx24.5 tires to put on her.

I had a full set of the 11R24.5 wheels and tires. I will stick with these new shoes. I just got the tires home and only changed out the rear rear so far but you can tell the difference between the 24.5 and 22.5.

Had the DD dealer work the DDEC 11 back to correct specs. 400 hp. 2100rpm, tires 24.5 tires and left the speed open. With the 24.5 tires she does 60mph at 2100rpm. Thought we did not talk about fuel mileage and we most certain don't talk about the ride with a Hendrickson suspension.

Excellent trucks, been running the M916A1 for a few years and still impressed with performance and comfort.
For reference you might check some of the upgrades that I've added that would work for your truck. Go to the forum on: 5 ton and up mods; and search under M916A1. The threads on M916A1 Tire Trials, M916A1 Little Stuff and Cool Freightliner, might be useful.
