Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The M123A1C that I own is powered by a Cummins V8-300 (as was every M123A1C the day it left the factory). The V8-300 superceded the LeRoi TH-844 gasoline engine in the G-792 (10-ton) trucks. While the V8-300 engine looks very much like a V903, they are not the same. In fact, darn few of the internal components will interchange between the V8-300 and the V903.Yes the M123A1C 10 Ton 6x6 Tractor and the M125 10 Ton 6x6 Cargo truck uses the Cummins V903 engine !! it is basically a oversized Duece n Half or 5 Ton truck !! Check out the web site www.Olive-Drab.com there maybe a photos of those model of trucks !! The Cummins V903 was a mod done to those series of truck to replace the gas motor !!
Its like trying to convince certain people of that fact! The M125 was only built with the LeRoi TH-844 But there was one prototype built with the V8-300.The M123A1C that I own is powered by a Cummins V8-300 (as was every M123A1C the day it left the factory). The V8-300 superceded the LeRoi TH-844 gasoline engine in the G-792 (10-ton) trucks. While the V8-300 engine looks very much like a V903, they are not the same. In fact, darn few of the internal components will interchange between the V8-300 and the V903.

As of 08' when I got out they were strill rebuilding them for the 41's. The newer 47's are powered by DD. Glad to another coastie is on here. I feel a little lost in the green world.I think I remember hearing that years later they replaced the Cummins with GM's. I was out by then.
