Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Can you take pictures of that?
I have heard this a couple times, but haven't seen the pictures yet.
Hammer,
The next time I will have the tires off, I'll take some pics of the brake drum modification needed to install the HEMMT wheels on the front of a M916-M920 and poste them here.
Other then that, it seems that this truck is built to run the big 16.00 R 20's! The brakes have no problem slowing the 25,000# tractor down in a hurry. Nothing rubs anywhere, the front tires clear all the steering components and springs (did I mention it turns really sharp for a live front axle?) I could even leave the quarter fenders on the front of the rear boggie in place! Oh and as I mentioned before, there is plenty of clearance between the two rear tires (3-4")
Ok....so I will quit driving the auction prices up now....Lol![]()
But there where like 8 or 10 of the Allison M916 trucks in the GL auction lot that I got this one from and apparently no one from this site has come forward and claimed that they got one..... So not sure where they went.... I'm afraid that they might be getting parted out for the transmissions...
Anyway....so I just wanted to make sure that you guys are aware of the fact that there are some of these "bad Boys" out there....![]()

Well.....looking at YOUR "Equipment List".....I think YOU might be the "Lucky Dog" here....Ok you lucky dog USMC that would explain both rear axles being lockers.
Thanks Soni, that would be great.M920 said:Hammer,

It's a "normal" style dropout and pinion location.Does the front axle use a double reduction diff (like the 800 series), or is it a "normal" style dropout and pinion location?
so im curious what are mpgs? is it too bad?
and you still havent let us in on how much you got it for.....
The first mod on the original carrier would be a bigger winch...lol That one on there now might only be able to lift the spare off my dodge. It was real good at letting the spare down thoughSo let me know what you guys think about this combo....
Here are a few pics of it with the 16.00 R 20's....

p.s. I'm modifying the spare tire carrier to accomodate a full size spare!
Nice. That's what is killing me on my 5 ton build - clearing that massive M800 series 5 ton pinion means that I needed to create some very large vertical separation between the axle and engine.It's a "normal" style dropout and pinion location.
