A straight M939 or A1 variant (We've determined that there is no A0....) will be powered by the NHC250. But lack the CTIS. The 250's can be problematic with cyl liners.
These trucks have a little more potential for speed than the older M39, M44, and M809 trucks did because of gearing. But...
You guys planning on trying to drive it back or towbaring it back? The path between our area (I'm guessing you're nearby since you know Joe) and Redstone takes us over the mountain range. I've recovered trailers from there a time or two. But never a vehicle. Might want to take some extra...
I understand your displeasure and position. If I lost money I'd fly off the handle as well. It's just human nature to do so. But there's been some good advice posted here with insurance companies many of us have used (other threads).
