I drove my M109A3 across the country last summer on US Rt 20. Pulling an M105A2 trailer with clothing repair shelter in it. Got 9.8 MPG overall. Running on 11.00x20 Goodyear radials, lockout hubs, pulled axles on forward rear tandem . Fully loaded with 4 people's gear, kitchen gear and a lot of spare parts. 7000 miles, 4 mountain ranges, most fun of my life. Going to Alaska in 2012. JT out

JT, you want me to wait and we can convoy to Alaska together in 2012?
Wife and I did a 1000 mile round trip in the m109, towed a m146 to VA and came back empty. I drive mine anywhere, anytime. Ask Neil, I carry tons of parts and tools.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Hey Nice truck!!!LOL
I sent another one just like yours to Seattle- he drove that one home with a trailer 1300 miles (no pic), and this one just left the yard heading to Idaho about 1100 miles away--- havent heard if he made it yet! Yours was his inspiration for us to build his just like yours! Look familiar?

sorry dittle, you are wrong. running as fast as the govenor will go will result in broken engine. some trucks with tuning issues or non turbo may not go there but turbo engines should easily. 2600 is MAX safe rpm, i would run a little less. i set my gov at 2550 and it will easily stay there if you keep your foot on floor.
i have gone on 2000 - 3000 mile trips.

unless the fuel's been turned up. always watch the tach.
I did a few road trips, max was maybe 3000 miles at 50MPH or so. None were without some little incident along the way.
