    Very nice looking truck.
    Just curios how many miles per gallon you get with this beast.
    And do you need a CDL to drive it? I have seen a couple for sale before on govliquidation, did you have any issues getting it licensed if that is where you bought it?

    gets about 10-11mpg when running the duals and NDT tires. with my fuel pump turned up and super singles im getting 7-8mpg. i use the WMO so i drive it probley 5x a week at least. even if its just to hit up the coffee stand hahhaha

    no cdl to drive it unless in cali.

    not problems getting it licensed but insurance you have to check with your company first. i know state farm insures mine as a private commercial so 35$ a month and granted im 23 and have 1 accident and 1 speeding ticket

    what process do you go through running the motor oil? do you run it through a filtration system first then throw it in the tank with or without the gas mixture? and I have to ask where you get that much used oil I plan on owning a deuce or two one day, I know the first one I own will have to be bobbed with an m107 trailer for the bed..thinking complete resto then beat the hell out of it camping! glad to see one of these on here though, further inspiration for me...keep the pix coming, I love 'em

    few more questions, do you have or have you thought about on board air?
    where do you go for parts if needed? i only know of a few websites but not really anywhere i can go in person.
    how does it fare in the sand and mud? had any problems driving anywhere at all?

    For running WMO i can throw it in as is. but i filter it with a barrel pump and a 15micron water seperator and a 5 micro filter. and walla some good fuel. i mix it after the fuel is in the tank. i like to keep my barrels filled with as much oil as i can as i can fill up with other fuels at any station.

    these have on board air on them.
    parts i order off line or i have a local guy i go too.
    sand it did very well putted around in low 3rd with 6x6 engaged. mud it crawls right through it.

    with no power steering it is hard to get some places. most people after seeing me drive it in to tight places think theres power steering when it doesnt. it does take getting use to with backing up the m105 series of trailers as there small compared to the truck.

    i park my truck at my apartment and i can back in pretty quick now hehehe makes me a better driver. i live in a city too hhe
