Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Site's dropdown box doesn't list BMY as a manufacturer, and doesn't list 6x6 as a drive... This behemoth is an M923A2 army 5ton truck. Weight is 21,700 empty. Designed primarily for offroad use, it will go about 65mph. I got 13mpg driving it from Houston to Tulsa. Around town with a lot of idling I see more like 9mpg.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Box Stock Original 8.3liter Cummins Turbodiesel and Allison Transmission, with Rockwell 6.44 Axles and transfer case with 1.6 overdrive.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
OEM Michelin XZLs rated for 11,000lbs per tire. Size 14.00x20 (about 14" wide and 46ish tall). Original 2piece combat rims with runflats and Central Tire Inflation System: choose the pressure based on the terrain and the onboard system will air-up or air-down as appropriate.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Sandblasted to bare steel and recoated with milspec CARC.
