The M916 has the CAT transmission but is geared way low.......you will be lucky to do 58 at 2100 RPM and fuel milage will suck.....such is the nature of the beast.
If you put HEMMT rims and 1600X20 tires (if there are no clearance issues) on it you might get a few more MPH out of it.
The "sweet spot" for my M927 is 52MPH at around 1700 RPM.......on flat ground she cruises good but any big hill will pull her down pretty quick when loaded.
The M931/M932 5 tons are not road tractors....they are for pulling heavy loads across rough terrain at slow speed while being driven by mostly inexperienced drivers.
The Army used the M915's for hauling cargo on improved roads at highway speeds.
The 250 Cummins or the 8.3 are both low power...
