Thanks for your service, gotta love anything with a screamin Detroit in it!

Wettstein

yea that detroit is a V8 and each cylinder has 92 CB" of displacement
add with that truck i had on there today, boy was that turbo/supercharger combo where screamin.
Not this deployment but last time i was over here i had well over 10 tons behind one of these. more like 30-40 tons of truck and trailer beheind me. from head to tail well over 100 feet long and still moving right along with the rest of the convoy

You must be young still.

One good thing with all that Detroit power running around, the leakage must keep the dust down!

Thanks for your service Wettstein!

I've always liked the look of those trucks...Anything you have to look through the floorboard to see what's in front of you is my kind of vehicle...

And thank you for your service to your country, sir!......Ben

I hate riding in those things. I rode one from Al Asad to Sinjar and back. I was getting thrown all over the place on the dips.

Wettstein

the new seats dont do that as bad

Ah, the MANN tracter. I loved driving that beast. It's such an odd feeling to have the turning wheels behind you.
