This truck is so BAD A..!!!! I'm in LOVE....
I am totally in love with my new M916! With the Cummins Big Cam 3 now turned up to 475 HP, the sweet 7 speed Allison transmission, the Air Ride Cab, the factory rear diff lockers and the 16.00 R 20 Michelin's (balanced with Equal of course) on HEMMT wheels, this truck will run over
80 MPH (professional driver on closed course) and at the same time has increadible Off-Road capabillities! I must say this is the most capable "Out of the Box" military truck i have ever owned!
It "cruises" down the road at 65-70 MPH at 1450 RPM! It steers like a dream even with the big rubber, it rides decent with super singles, cab suspension and air ride seat and just in case I get stuck, I have a hydraulic 45,000# winch at my disposal..... I'm just not sure how one could get more TRUCK for less $$$$.....
Ok...so I'm getting a little carried away but..... The truck is really AWESOME!
So let me know what you guys think about this combo....
Here are a few pics of it with the 16.00 R 20's....
Soni
p.s. I'm modifying the spare tire carrier to accomodate a full size spare!

I have been watching the 916s on GL for a while now. I just can't justify one for my use, but it sures seems like a huge deal for the prices they generally bring. Your truck looks really cool!

Wow, that is one great lookin' truck. I thought an 818 looked good w/those tires, but that truck is awesome.
