I have never seen a civilian tractor do anything close to this. This truck was apparently built for combat use. A great demonstration of a piece of equipment built to Military specifications. Thanks for the video.
Nice video, reminds me of AIT school, training in the Army, when I was learning to drive the M52A2 to earn my 64C30 rating. Fort Lenard Wood MO 1975/1976 Fort Carson CO 1976/1977 Camp Casey Korea 1977/1978. When I started out they were still OD then changed to cammo. Most had the multi fuel diesel Reo, White.
I worked on these as a 63B for 22 years. I can tell you that the driver definitely suffered compacted vertebrae a severed spinal column broken teeth an possibly dislocated both hips and shoulders during this course. LOL!!
1:41 One tire was popped on the driver's side, the first axle in the rear, so he ran it flat, technically he used only 5 tires(5wd).....AWESOME!!!!!!!!! 4:16 You can see the flat tire, but it popped at the above time stamp, listen for the loud hiss, I'm guessing he might have punctured the side wall??
@Tom Marrero-Ortiz not really, all locking hubs do is lock the wheels to the axles. They disengage when not using all wheel drive just to keep less parts moving while driving. The best description would be open differential or limited slip differential. The differential decides where the power goes. With an open differential it sends power to the wheel with least resistance essentialy making a 6x6 3 wheel drive. An LSD on the other hand acts open during normal driving and locks a bit during slippage sending power to all wheels to the best of its ability. A true locking diff will be open until locked and when locked the diff will send equal power to each wheel.
@@bobgoat5994 Not all of these Military Trucks come without Lockers/Differentials.It actually depends on what Branch owns the rig in the first place.The Marine Corps all have Lockers on all their equipment from 4×4-10×10,while the Army doesn't have it mandatory,except for a few trucks.Quite a bit of the MV's that I own that are retired USMC vehicles all have Lockers on them,and I rarely see any on the ones we have that come straight from the National Guard,we most times have to install them ourselves.
Gotta love those old military 6x6s. I'd LOVE to own one of the 10 ton virants then I figured out they only get 2 mpg. Not that that matters but with a duce getting 10 I was thinking a 10ton would at least be 5. I'd love to shove a 15L Cummins under one of those hoods. 2000 ibs ft aint nothing to sneeze at.
A 14.0L Cummins is your best shot,all the 5 Tons from 1970-1982 had them,and the M939's from 1982-1987 had the 250 Cummins also.The other trucks that used a 14.0L such as the 400 and 855 were the M915-M920 A0's and A1's from 1979-1990,and those perform well on over the road.I own a 1980 M915 with a HT-855 and it's running 400 HP with 1,950 Torque,bobtailing,I actually run 13 MPG,and loaded,it sucks dry down to 8 MPG,but I usually don't go over the 53K Limit because that's what they are restricted to do,even though I had 109K on a trailer one time. I get the same amount also or around there in my M35A2. The 10 Ton Macks were beasts but gutless,basic 1.8 MPG,and had a TH-844 Leroi Gasoline or 300-903 Cummins.
It's actually an m818 6x6. Highly customized like the super singles and the dual stacks behind the cab. I can't see all the customizations done to it but i can see a few.
This truck has 1200×20 CTIS Singles off of a M939 A2 Series,either M931 or a other 5 Ton of that Series.It's a M818 5 Ton,which is part of the M809 Series by AM General from 1970-1982.Both trucks are completely different,the M809's have a longer nose and curved sides on the frontend,while the M939's have a huge boxy hood and a flat front,both trucks however share identical Cabs and Fenders,but the M939's when compared to the M35 Duece,M54 and M809 5 Tons,have a different Cab than the other three with how they measured them. The M809's run a NHC-250 Cummins and a Five Speed Manual,the M939's all have a MT654CR Allison Automatic.But the catch,the M939 A0/A1's ran a NHC-250 Cummins like the M809's did,and were also made by AM General,in 1987,that's when the M939's went to the A2 and were made by BMY Harsco up to 1999,they also had two major upgrades compared to the originals that came out in 1982,they had bigger Tires,which were Singles,so they replaced using Duals,and they were CTIS (Command Tire Inflation System),and they also used a 6CTA Cummins replacing the 250 also,which is a 8.3L Turbo instead of a 14.0L N/A (Naturally Aspirated) like the older Variants had.
@@dylansnyder7757 You repeated what I said and what I already know.I own a M818 and had a M931A2,and a M932A2,which is just a M931A2 with a PTO Winch up front. The M818 often gets confused with the M52,since they both have identical front ends,except that the M818 has a longer Hood than the M52 because of the 14.0L NHC-250 Cummins,the M52A1 had a 11.0L Thermodyne Mack while other Variants like the M52 had a 9.9L R602 from Continental and the M52A2 had a 7.8L Multi-Fuel.The M818 also always had the Intake Manifold on the Driverside Fender,the M52 has them on the Passenger Fender,but some M52's didn't have them,they had the Air Breathers under the Hoods,if it didn't have a Intake then it was a Gasoline 5 Ton Truck.
@@Slim_Slid You seem to know alot refereeing these. Have you seen the military wrecker doing recovery work at Pismo? Can you identify that one? I can go search for a video if you need.

Worth it just for the soundtrack!
That ole M818 sounds pretty damn good straight piped.

Imagine running one of those beasts down the highway with a 53 footer behind it
roadwolf2 It had a 53' drop deck on it for a while... it was a pretty cool feeling!
roadwolf2 I would totally do it
done check out my you tube channel...

roadwolf2 been there, done that 😁
my condolences to the Parkinsons patient who recorded this... would have loved to see this video, but it triggered my epilepsy
It got better
Put it in 6x6 low and that NTC 250 will not have any problems.
*NHC.NTC starts with the 400 Cummins.
These are war machines , drove one
If we get this guy to learn how to drive a stick shift, he’ll be all set.
he has no idea what low gear is for
Truk yang tangguh👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
imagine this bad ass with a 12v91TT crammed in there
It would never fit not even in the ten ton
@@shedeeran8526 lmao put it on the bobtail and have a rear-engined 6x6 xD
Look at those clouds articulate.

Bill Blast pretty sure almost all of these 5 ton and 2 1/2 ton came without locking diffs so technically they are all 3 wheel drive

This guy driving has no clue, trying to shift on the hills lol!
Don't try that in a Peterbilt!
Bad ass 💪🇺🇸
Looks like some north Dakota oil field hills I garonetee that driver don't have his kidneys anymore
Bad ass even with a flat tire.
...WHEN I SEE THIS TRUCK....The Movie ...DUEL comes to view......Or MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE...
That's so boss! Do it with a loaded trailer and I'll buy 10 ;)
Did this rig get sold to eastern surplus recently? Looks exactly like one they have listed on their site
Don't they all?
Englishtown raceway. I;de like to see the thing go down the strip after the mud bog
Cool army Cool

That is not an m931, more like a m818.
It is a M818,look at the Tank on the left fender.
