Hi Guy's,
Thanks for the interest, This model has the 250 Cummins Diesel naturally aspirated engine. Has a "Jake Brake" engine retarder as factory fitted. (magic sound if you have ever heard one) , you usually hear them coming before you see them
Another update, we now have the second truck home, we chickened out of A-Framing this one home as it is a non runner with no brakes,and at 17 odd ton was to much weight for the steep hills we had to travel over. The first truck was a runner so we drove both in tandem A-Framed together, that was interesting
Tomorrow (Saturday) we are continuing with the loadind up of all the spare parts that came in the package deal. approx 3 40 foot trailer loads
We now have a serious storage problem, so much so I was forced to buy two 20x40 ex army field tents, slight problem with these as it takes a minium of 9 men to erect one tent or two M 816's
While I'm here, if any one knows or has a complete windscreen for sale I would be interested, as the second truck was rolled by the NZ ARMY, and it got squashed, not to mention the dorks left the engine running while it was on its side, which of course run the crank dry of oil
Of well we might just have to break out another engine from stock
:
Ok well better get some rest I will be needing it for tomorrow.
Cheers,
Brent D.
