Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Here is what the TM has to say -I was comparing the drivetrains of the M1070 versions available to us and the newer Cat powered version the military is upgrading to and was surprised. I know I will never be able to get a hold of a C18 to re power with and it would be too long at the current spot. (A C18 would cost twice or more then what you can buy a whole m1070 for now).But what a difference it must make, I am not talking so much about the HP increase which is definitely significant (+200) but more importantly the torque. I haven t found an exact torque rating on 8v92 version used in the M1070, but it appears to be around 1250. The CAT C18 in an industrial rating (I have never found one rated as a vehicle power plant other then in the new 1070) for one putting out 700 hp is in turn rated at 2419 ft. pounds. If these numbers are correct thats **** near double the torque, then add another 2 gears.. But ours do have a 2 speed transfer case which to me is a decent plus. They also look better!

I like Cummins, too, but those mudflaps on a Detroit powered truck?
Haha. I know! I hear it all the time. Conversation piece I guess. The Wife ordered me detroit flaps!I like Cummins, too, but those mudflaps on a Detroit powered truck?
If I ever got one that is exactly how I would justify it.the M1070 is for you and the 5th wheel is for the wife ???????? just kidding great looking rig
You're correct!the M1070 is for you and the 5th wheel is for the wife ???????? just kidding great looking rig
I would anticipate it.For you guys that got the HET is it a permitted load truck cause of weight or not? I was just curious do to the weight and size of the truck. Not sure if it on a RGN if it was able to get under height and be under 80k total weight.
If you took the wheels off and sat it on the deck it would be 13' 5".For shipping a HET is there anyway getting around using a rgn lowboy for height?
Would removing the front tires, setting the axles on bocks so the hubs are touching the deck work to load on a 36" step deck?
can someone measure the height savings?
