Hi Gilles excellent looking truck,suspend tow a loaded RPPL 5 ton and the front wheels will float as you drive along the road at 60-65MPH.I was in Calgary 76-85 1 Svc Bn Recovery Section,1PPCLI Maint Pl and 1CMBG I&LO Section,the dreaded yearly Inspection Team.My M52 gas tractor used to carry our D7 on the trailer,had to send it to Wainwright 3 days ahead of the convoy.Got our Diesel tractor and you would think that the D7 grew wings.Seriously though the only thing bad about the M816 is that the gear ratio between 2nd and 3rd gear was too close,had to split shift the TCase in order to compensate for the close ratio.Cheers.Gerry.
