WELL WELL 250 boys the gloves are off now! Hope they don't have to drive here to give a reply--- cause it will take a while.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Something something max height of an overpass. LOL!Only 5 little trailers on that BIG one?!
I agree but "better" is defined by one's interpretation. I believe it's more so what you intend to do with the vehicle that determines what power plant you should use for the job and what is "better". The the 250 has more torque on the low end without argument and the 8.3 has a better high end so no argument there either as that is fact. For the average MV owner Joe who just likes to drive the A2 makes more economic sense (but who are we kidding, it's about "smiles per gallon" not "miles per gallon"). I believe the 936A2 is the best of the bunch as you don't need 14.0L to run a PTO which where most of its useful life is spent. I won't get into the older wreckers as that's off topic.Fuzzy and 74M35A2 I see what you think is correct but I have many of both setups in 931, 931A1, 931A2, and 936, 936A1, 936A2 and the 250 has the bottom end pulling power but the 8.3 will run down the hwy better but what y'all don't see is neither one is better overall.

My A0 does not lock the TC until it gets into 2nd and it is an ABS truck. Apart from installing A1 tires and turning the fuel up, it is stock. Both have the same transmission but different torque converters to mate up to the ¨Medium Duty Engine¨ in the A2 trucks!!! I would not kick an M939A2 truck outta bed but I would tell it that my favorite girl is an A1 250 powered Babe!!!!Ok here is my question , an 8.3 won't lock the TC in first most know why abs etc and the only difference in the transmission is the TC. So do the 939 and A1 lock in first gear ?
Thanks samdcobra as for my cargo I'll keep the 8.3 but still looking for a wrecker and that will be a 936. .... a nothingMy A0 does not lock the TC until it gets into 2nd and it is an ABS truck.
