Anyone have any driving/repair experience with the basic M915 series, in particular the M919 8x6. Particularily interested in comments on the trans A CAT D-7155 semiauto which is a bit unusual. I think the only mil vehicle application was the M915 series.

We're looking at aquisition of 2x for the chassis (reuse for fire dept water tankers). Only have 10408mi & 1290mi and chassis are supposed to be fully operational.

There is one at the museum i'm a member at. I've driven it a few times. It runs great and will do about 70MPH. It seems to be relible

Transmission give you any headscratching? Do put in 16 or do you shift it thru the gears at __rpm?

unloaded start in 2-3 and then skip shift 3(gears) then past 10 2 gears at a time and theres no clutch paddle so you take you foot ALL the way off the gas
shift and hit the gas so it jumps up to 1200rpm I think, it has a centrifugal
clutch so geting it up to speed after shifting is important
look up the manual on logsa for the M915 there way cool trucks.

Na, i let it do it's own thing. It seems to shift fine. 1-2 is a pretty hard shift without a load. After that it's like driving a offroad school bus
