    Anyone regret goin to 16.00r20 Tires on M923a2?

    Keep this in mind. There is less than 2 inches of clearance between the rear tires. You kick up a small rock, and you are in trouble

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    I think it means if they were sold by the USG outside the US they would need to be scrapped. But if bought in the US and then exported you might not have a problem as I have heard one of the dealers exported a few recently. I am not a Lawyer, info is for reference only.

    New to me M1075 and M1074 PLS

    On thing to consider about the DROPS is, how easy is it to get basic parts for if you break down (filters, lines, etc)? For other parts, are the only available in England and you need to import? Atleast most HEMTT/PLS parts are available in the US and if you break down, NAPA, truck stops, etc...

    How long to cool down after Short Trips...

    I don't know about letting the truck cool down, but it is always a good idea to let a turbocharger equipped vehicle idle for 5-10 minutes after use to prevent turbo damage.

    Got the mule

    Hint: If it is a M274A5 and has 4WS, it has been converted. You may also want to check out the G503 Mule forum as there seems to be more technical guys over there.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Very nice!! Do you still have your namesake, your M920? I can't imagine it is getting much use with the HET and FEMTT around now.

    XM211 New Owner - any operational, PM, or spare part recommendations (or for sale)

    The XM211 was the pre-standardized designation. It is the same as a M211, only it was made before a certain date when the truck was "standardized". Other example is can think of are the XM135/M135, XM818/M818, T114/M114, and there are probably others too.
