Holy crap Helo, that thing will haul the mail! I love it.
Can't wait to get it. It has 600 miles on it since it was rebuilt by the Army in 2008. It comes with the M105A2 trailer. I think I got a decent price I paid 9855 for it. Won it on Ebay.

Not a bad deal IMO. Rebuilt makes a big difference. Trailer to boot.
I was looking around and the trailer by itself goes for over 1500, and a good 5 ton is hard to find under 8k. This one has the CTIS, and the anti lock brakes. Also has less than 800 hours on it. Looking at the mileage vs the hours it has a lot of hwy miles. Most of them have 3 times the hours, with less miles, that tells me those did a lot of convoy and off road time. Plus this one is only 60 miles away from my house. So I won't have to spend a ton on shipping, or diesel.

You haul a lot of cats with that!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Got it home today. Only a few issues that I see. The fuel shut off sticks, not a big deal and I knew about that. The brake lights do not work, probably not a big deal, but will jump into that when I get back from vacation. And the CTIS system does not seem to work, but the tires hold air so it isn't too big a deal. All the lights just flash, so going to have to dig into that. Drives just fine, and will do 65 mph. We drove it around my property a little bit, and even without the 6wd engaged it did not even spin a tire, and we had 4 inches of rain today. Only way I could tell the front diff was engaged was to climb out of a low spot in a turn and I saw the tire spin just a little bit.

Turns out I forgot the brake lights won't work unless the light switch is on. Going to have to get used to that, but the lights work exactly like they are supposed to.
Went play for a little while today, nothing to hard, but it did it fine without the front diff engaged.
My son driving it.
And me with my new truck.
