Now you all have me wondering. Our low air alarm goes on and off at about 95#. I typically still have 65# when I fire her up. I usually hold my thumb over the alarm if sitting in the cab during warm up.

One last video on the final day to vote! My goodness Migginsbros play hard and smart. Plus who wouldn't love such a versatile rig?

It has been some time since a FMTV has won, who knows how long?
What cool rigs to be competing with this month! We are enjoying learning more about each one.
We have been replacing items like the worn out cab air suspension and removing the 2:1 wheel reduction hubs to increase the M1078A1's drivability without reducing her capability. Here is a link to...
