    M35A 2 versus M54A2 multifuel

    I don't have an M54, but I do have a M812,M51a2 and a Deuce. The deuce is nice, great on fuel. but a five ton drives much better.The power steering is great and for some reason rides and handles better. I averaged about 7-8 mpg on a 370 mile trip. There are two differant turbos on the five ton...

    Winter Starting

    I do believe wind chill is a human factor,as previously mentioned .a piece of steel at -25 is -25 at -50 wind chill. I like block heaters,this is where a shelter would come in handy to help keep the heat in. I have used either, I don't like to though.kind of a last resort.
