M816 + M816 normally = Slow travel, especially up hills. Hopefully the 1600s will give you the road speed you want. Good luck!

man did we have a blast. yes the hills were killers. but thank GOD we only had a dozen or sl. passed the scales and didnt look there way. my wrecker picked up the other wrecker with no trouble. had my saftey chains on and temp lights as well. glad hands on but i dont think the other truck had brakes as i didnt feel much back there. i had one tire blow haft way bach . heard the noise , stopped, didnt see anything. after i got it home its flat and just started to unraved. this wrecker is missing a lot of parts so ill be on the lookout for some goods used ones. i took many pics and ill post them here later tonight or first thing in the moring. our adventure has ended but we will remember it far a lonnnnnng time. thanks for your suport fellows wait till you see the pics. Tim

RE: what

last pic had me with it lifted. but that didnt work well. i had to move lift point right over bumper with no bridle type hoodup. had the super nice 3/4 chains centered in the middle and that let me steer my truck great. the hills were hard but afterward cruised with only one blow out. glad i have those chains...
