Nice truck. I have one, too, and love it! I may part with it...not sure. Only reason I may part with it is that I got an M916A2 which has factory air conditioning among other upgrades. No M916A2s have come out...I got this in a trade from a guy who got it from an "agency." By the way, performance-wise, the A2s are identical to the A1s so don't worry yourself any. The only real changes they made on the A2 are:
*factory air conditioning
*slightly different suspension in the rear
*slightly different lever that activates the air ride seats
*separate speedo and tach.

that's awesome! Digging the freightliner front dubs! What's the cruising speed on her?

The Freightliners, unfortunately, have a fairly low top speed. It has to do with the gearing combined with a 4 speed transmission. I would say that 55-57 mph is the maximum safe cruising speed for extended periods. The truck will do 60 mph or slightly more, though.

Jim, I mentioned gearing and the transmission as inhibiting factors, but the tire size definitely plays a part as you pointed out.

Yes it has the 60 series and I got 60 out if her on the way home. Great condition just needs 4 batteries and new wiper blades for now. Hope to get the trailer for it in the next few weeks will keep you posted.

My FD just put a tank on a M916 a1.It will run 60 at 1900 rpms,it seems comfortable there.I estimate it would top out around 65.

I think you can deduce those dimensions from this graphic. My eyes aren't good enough to actually see the print on this graphic on my screen, so forgive me if i'm incorrect.
