I have seen that truck in person, it is in very good shape.

I hate to tell you this but it has no reverse, gl rep told me that when I looked truck over.

truck does go forward, just no reverse. The gl rep thought it might be a linkage issue, i had actually asked about it on here but didnt post what truck it was due to forum rules.

shop was under 5 foot of water. lost almost everything I had in it. the house was ok. me and the 5 ton bobber cleared trees from powerlines for 5 days befor work needed me back to fix relief equipment. it was me my girl and 2 other volenteers who cleared most of the trees in our surrounding neighborhood. the people they called in were far to slow and unprepaired. they were able to restore power to my house much sooner because of us. I really got fed up with all these people who drove past and didnt even offer a hand!! driving around in there bmws and drinking their starbucks coffee. really wish I could smack them back to reality. even the national guard drove around in their hummers and FMVTs, they waved as they passed. you know what it takes to recover from a disaster?? 1 5 ton, 1 stihl 880 saw, 150 gallons of gasoline, 300 gallons of diesel, and a few good men and women. truck list is, bobbed m818 bought from John winslow was a great man RIP, m931a2 recovered by me and driven back from ft. hood tx, and a m916 that i bought from a fellow member.

3 days I drove back with my boss he kept making me stop. it ran real good!! the EGTs were super high tho. idk what the solution is for that. we removed the exhaust the other day and it seemed to help alot with the high egts. i know the filter setup is really restrictive aswell. it ran 65 on the flats but hills are a challenge as they are in almost any military truck.

I got a 923a2 3 weeks ago---the turbo engine starts easy--very quiet--can actually hear what the passenger says--the shift points are in the 2200+ rpm range---does your trans do the same--the old cummins runs low shift points and has big low end torque
