First time 5 ton owner

[RhinoTAC]

Bought me a 1 of a kind M813A1 that was modified as an armored troop carrier. Its armor package is NIJ level 7 which is equivalent to stopping 50cal and small explosives. I bought it last year out of Fort Lauderdale and had it shipped to Texas. So here I am on steel soldiers, figured I should join since I am always tinkering and learning.

No it was not Built By Bullet Motorsports.

It was built by Armour Group International who specializes in armored vehicles.

Depends, it's usually rolling weight is about 42,000 but sometimes gets around 50,000

Hopefully they put a big cam in it so it could get out of it's own way.

Only thing light about that truck is the wheels! I'd give up the left side of my hanging man fruit for a set of those though

Welcome to the site, Hobby, Friendships and events to come.
Nice looking and 'different from the rest' Truck.
Methinks it drives all the better?, with that extra weight.

as far as I know its the small cam 855 cummins. How would I tell if it is a big cam?

I have found them for $250 with 90% tread on Army6x6. They wont be run flats but still a good price. I'm sure shipping is just as much

It drives pretty darn good. Once I figured out the manual tranny and when to shift it drives good. Only downside is when I encounter hills it tends to be sluggish due to all the added weight. But for a naturally aspirated engine it can do 60mph with minimal sway

If there's no turbo present then it's most likely still the small cam

I ment the aluminum 20x10 wheels on the front. I have some with a different offset but I need some like those for the fronts.

Its naturally aspirated. No turbo at all. But she pulls good
