    So tell me about the M246 wrecker/tractor

    Its got 11.00 x 20's on it now, no wonder it looked different. 73m819 - how fast does your 819 go? What sort of engine does it have? I was thinking of buying a salvage 5 ton with the Cummins and swapping engines.

    So tell me about the M246 wrecker/tractor

    So does the Mack ENDT bolt up the the 5 speed tranny without any adapters? 1 MPG does not sound like something I want to sink money into. What trucks have the Mack engine or where could I find one? Still figuring out how much this truck would cost to get it up and running
