This is just a hobby. Former military vehicle owners are a very small community and these trucks are not usually driven daily unless the owner is using it for commercial purposes.
There was a guy in Wisconsin he had one and pulled a 48 foot spread axle flatbed with it. Hadn’t seen him a a while but that doesn’t mean he isn’t out there.

Compare these to the Soviet trucks, its not even a contest. I'm a proud American but those Soviet/Russian trucks kick our ass. I think its largely because the American trucks don't have lockers. I've seen Soviet trucks tow about 30-40,000 lbs of logs through a river about 6-7ft deep. Now thats real off-roading.
Well the Soviet mindset was very different from the American mindset. The Soviet mindset was learned from WW2, where the extreme mud conditions of the Rasputitsa gave hell to the Germans and then the extreme snow also gave hell (gave hell to the Soviets too, but they liked that it slowed the Germans). As such, the Soviet mindset was: 1) Do not design a major system of roads that would make it super easy for the enemy to just drive right into Russia and straight to the major cities like Moscow 2) Design vehicles capable of dealing with the special climate and terrain Or on that last part, I would at least assume, as I don't know much about Soviet trucks :D
Yeah, I love these trucks too, but offroad they suck compared to trucks of most other countries. They should at least have lockers for the two rear axles, lots of over the road tractors have them.
@@Andrew-jn9yp Lmao....snorkel baby, snorkle. Yup, a new 75,000 $$$ tricked out jeep would look good with only 3 inches of roofline showing above the water.
For what it's worth, the Ishtar and sound of an Oshkosh HET blasting through four feet of mud and water with a 70 ton tank on the trailer has to be seen to be believed! So much power under your right boot! Nothing else comes even close.
88 mike here. Loved my Het. Through i do have a soft spot for my hemmet too. Loved to see how close to the rear of a pov i could get. Look down through the sighting glass and wave to little kids as parents crapped themselves
I love the M939 series 5 tons. Drove the 1st gen in desert storm, they didn`t do well in sand with the duel wheels, but the A1s,and A2s were better with the big tires. A2s had the central tire inflation system which was good when it worked.
Victor Vanderhyde I am not sure. I know you can get lockers for them but install labor, if you outsourced it, would be considerable. The diffs are top load so accessing them may prove challenging.
The Marines frequently order trucks with lockers. It's really not silly if you think about it, lockers and the other upgrade parts (such as larger axle shafts) required to run them are expensive. It also makes the truck harder to operate and more prone to drive train failures, especially when you have inexperienced 18 year old military personnel operating them. They are actually really well designed. The trucks usually run out of power or traction before anything fails.
J Shafer I've thought about it a lot and it is, in fact, silly. Why would they design and order some with lockers and some without? They are for extreme off-road use. I've gotten mine "stuck" in very little off-road terrain.... some clay-mud.... it was so ridiculous watching one tire spin per axle. If you're doing serious off-roading, lockers are the way to go. They were just cheap with the 6x6. I bet making a 4x4 with full lockers would be superior off-road vs 6x6.
@@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043: not sure what the hell you are talking about. These are all Cummins straight 6's. Either the 14.0L or the 8.3L turbo. But none of these are v8's.
Jeez, these 5 tons don’t have lockers. So what. They have 6x6 drive. Some of them have the 8.3 Cummins Turbo Diesel 1990-1991, some have the NHC 250 Cummins non turbo (14 liter engine mid 1980’s). Both of them weigh over 22,000 lbs, and they are still playing around in the mud like it’s nothing. So they get stuck every now and then. It happens when you push the limits of what machines can do. They are awesome vehicles! Very capable at climbing, pulling, mudding and just looking cool. I am sure your Russian truck is cool too, it’s not a competition, unless you feel inferior about your trucks, it’s just a video, everybody stay calm and enjoy the America being splashed around.
Yeah guess what 6x6 doesn't mean shit without lockers, they start to lose traction and less tires are spinning than any 4x4 with lockers. A lifted g-wagon is just as capable as these at offroading
I have had a few 4 wd vehicles, 69 Bronco, 88 Toyota, 74 Hi Lux,, 92 Toyota, 2001 F250 V10,2001 Suburban 5.3 with Z71 package, The 74 Hi Lux was actually a 2 wd however the posi rear end made it do better than my opn diffed 4x4's !! I had 14 inch rims and off road tires in rear only.
Interesting watch. I was just having some conversations with some guys here in Washington state about rigs. This is a good demonstration of what will work and what won't and where and why. Thanks for the share.
BlackHorseMilitia I live in Spokane Washington and I’ve seen 4-5 of them in town my hole life. I see them pull people out of some deep snow when we get it. 1-2 of the trucks were tractor trailers and they seem to do fine in any weather. Even the mud at the city’s ORV park.
Over seas , back in the 60's, I drove everything from jeeps to 10 ton ammo trucks and I liked 5 tons the least. The deuce and a half was the easiest and best all around as I remember.
These 5 tons actually came from our unit I'm in the 298th SMC 378th battalion I knew these trucks looked familiar glad they are getting out to good use your welcome guys take care of them
These trucks aren't really that great offtoad they all have open diffs, they might as well be priuses since only one wheel gets power when they're stuck....
One of the biggest problems with these bigger trucks getting stuck is not only leaving their diffs open. But the lack of weight. These are Army trucks designed to be loaded down. The ass ends when empty are too light for adequate traction on the rear tires. Put some weight on them like an extra couple of tons and then these trucks would walk right through everything here and not spin a tire.
Cool video, maybe someone can answer this question. On the big trucks, what that triangle looking piece on the front wheels? Some sort of valve stem protector?
Takes me back to AIT during recovery training at Fort Leanardwood. But we had four inches of ice we had to break through and go under water to hook up the 5 ton to pull out.
I used to take my Army 5 ton 1944 4x4 Autocar cabover into the woods and just drive over and knock down 8” trees in granny low.... Truck was unstoppable Gas 509 cubic inch flathead six
6.38 to 1 gearing in all 3 axles plus a very low low range, if these m932a2's had the off-road tires instead of highway tires or if they used the ctis system to air down they will go almost anywhere, I drove them in the army.
I used to drive a bigger but smilar one 7ton truck in military. Its the most painful truck to drive. Noisy, hot very uncomfortable etc. Once i had to put a trailer for an excercise and it literally became a train. Bloody long and heavy. But sometimes fun when i had to go offroad. I've drived a crane version, cargo, oil tanker. Had a unique experience for two years struggling to make these beast stay in good condition.
Drove these in the army, they were adequate but higher center of gravity that the 818 series. Those Goodyear tires were trash in mud, and better for highway use. I still loved my HEMTT for stuff like this.
Cody, you seen to have a tenuous grasp of vehicle weight rating. a 5 ton mil spec truck will pull 5 tons up a 60% grade. 5 tons have been known to pull well over 100,000 pounds.
The square bodies, aka CUCVs were the vehicles in the fleet before the HMMWVs. Not a big GM fan, but they were over enginered and under powered. I am also a bigger fan of the M923 generation 5 tons. The first gen didn't have super singles and much stronger motors in them.
I was s little worried they b.v were goinnto attempt to tug out the 5 CD ton with bvb t by ed cucv when I s as w it comexaround the one mid pitiful mean I live cucv but I dont think its pulling outa5ton
I drove the both the. m54 5ton and m52 5 ton tractor with the 6 cylinder multifule.engine with a turbocharger. The m38 2.1/2 ton had the same engine with out the turbocharger both with 10 forword gears and 2 reverse. This was back in the 70's wile I was in the Marines !
Join the army and you get paid to do this and much more. They teach you how to do this properly with the biggest and baddest toys you can only dream of and they pick up the tab for fuel, breakages and damages! The best off roading is when you getting paid to do it and not liable for costs!
Rishi Solanki it's not about the money, it's about being part of something,personal pride,self respect and being in a band of brothers. Best times ever.
Some of these M900 series trucks are modified. What I did notice though is that they weren't using the diff lock. All 6 wheels will spin not just one side. Another thing was a few had the CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) and they didn't use them either. Sadly we didn't see this amazing vehicles full potential. Great video all in all.
So when i was in we had the Oshkosh lmtvs which replaced these, for the most part anyways we still had a few wasting away at the back of our motor pool not sure if they even ran, anyways I'm curious how the lmtvs would do in mud like this they have lockers and this tire inflation/deflation system for different terrain like highway, mud,sand,snow would be pretty cool to see
Zachary Lowrie the lmtv really dosnt so as well. The onboard computer limits wheel slip like tcs in a normal car. I was a driving instructor at ft Polk. We got to beat the living SHIT out of everything from the h1's to the new MATV.(which is like a off road corvette lol)
SuperMotoSean 419 they do use these for logging ...the 5ton and deuce and a half (2 1/2ton) but the best for logging is the HET (heavy equipment transport truck) it's is 8x8 and it's what they use to transport Bradly tanks it is a beast to drive and if the mud looks too deep then you can just drive around it even with the pine trees lol.... it'll tow the earth
+john martin the deuce an a half isn't nearly heavy enough. we had 2 of them we used to haul wood out of bad roads to where road trucks could get it. (swamp logger). transmission's wouldn't hold up. and the all fuel Perkins lacked on power. But with that being said low range 1st gear was a beast. I've seen the rear ends pulling mud and still crawling with 25 tons of wood behind it. I have seen the motor's chock out and start running backwards. pulling air through the stack and blowing exhaust out the air filter. the Cummins are alot better
OMG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF DRIVING THESE IN GERMANY. ALSO GOT MINE STUCK IN THE TANK MUD FIELD. HAD TO GET PULLED OUT BY A M1A1 RECOVRY TANK. TOOK A LONG TIME TO WASH ALL THE MUD OFF. A BIG MESS. BUT HAD LOTS OF FUN. I DROVE OVER 200,000 MILES ACROSS GERMANY.
When I was a kid my Father was a volunteer firefighter an they had one of these trucks they made a tanker out of it held 2000 gallons of water an it also had a Cummins motor an they had a regular tanker truck to with a Cummins motor in it now they got one an its slot bigger an it's got a Cummins motor too I got friends that own these trucks but not every day drivers .......
Wow, SnowRunner maker might saw this video before they design the game... All these dudes are in the game... The Chevy, the GAZ, and the truck which looks the same like fictional truck ANK MK38 military grade... Wow, such powerful soul these dudes have along the mud...

Put a 3 1/2 foot lift kit under her. Swapped in some injectors from a 750 hp CAT. Be blastin' Lynard Skynard out all 12 speakers. Turned the entire 8 foot bed into a giant beer cooler. Got two babes in bikinis riding shotgun, one black one white, want to be bi-racial you know.
@@rcash3625 Good point also if they took battle damage One side of the differential And say the whole tire got locked up they could just drag it with an open differential If it was solid the whole axle would lock up I could see them contemplating that being able to keep moving is more important on the battlefield And even if they do get stuck usually there's never just one truck they can always pull each other out
I have a complete set of all three air locking 5 ton Rockwell axles. Both rears and the front. Gear ratio is slightly lower, so a pinch higher freeway speed. 5.8X vs 6.44 I think. $2,000 each.

The square bodies, aka CUCVs were the vehicles in the fleet before the HMMWVs. Not a big GM fan, but they were over enginered and under powered. I am also a bigger fan of the M923 generation 5 tons. The first gen didn't have super singles and much stronger motors in them.
We had super singles on our 813s in the mid 90s. I think you had better control with manual trans but the brakes were better on the 900s
I was s little worried they b.v were goinnto attempt to tug out the 5 CD ton with bvb t by ed cucv when I s as w it comexaround the one mid pitiful mean I live cucv but I dont think its pulling outa5ton
I drove the both the. m54 5ton and m52 5 ton tractor with the 6 cylinder multifule.engine with a turbocharger. The m38 2.1/2 ton had the same engine with out the turbocharger both with 10 forword gears and 2 reverse. This was back in the 70's wile I was in the Marines !
Ops m35 duce an a half
Join the army and you get paid to do this and much more. They teach you how to do this properly with the biggest and baddest toys you can only dream of and they pick up the tab for fuel, breakages and damages! The best off roading is when you getting paid to do it and not liable for costs!
Andrew Wilson not paid enough tho
Rishi Solanki it's not about the money, it's about being part of something,personal pride,self respect and being in a band of brothers. Best times ever.
fair enough, I respect that
Andrew Wilson ya minus the bullets flying and sand in your boots and no girls.
Andrew Wilson the getting shot part you didn't mention might FUCK things up a little.
0:00. Love the 6.2 diesel!!
And here I sit in my w900 kenworth crying because I can't do that HAHAHAHA oh man I gotta buy me a deuce
Some of these M900 series trucks are modified. What I did notice though is that they weren't using the diff lock. All 6 wheels will spin not just one side. Another thing was a few had the CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) and they didn't use them either. Sadly we didn't see this amazing vehicles full potential. Great video all in all.
They don't have lockers.
@@twizz420 yes they do. I've operated these M900 series 5Tons. They have axle lock and diff lock
these buggers are just digging up the track making them impassable, good show though.

This is true. But they are in a off road park where most consider that a good thing!
Oh He'all Yea! Even Leon, my 78' FJ-40 is drooling!
So when i was in we had the Oshkosh lmtvs which replaced these, for the most part anyways we still had a few wasting away at the back of our motor pool not sure if they even ran, anyways I'm curious how the lmtvs would do in mud like this they have lockers and this tire inflation/deflation system for different terrain like highway, mud,sand,snow would be pretty cool to see
Zachary Lowrie the lmtv really dosnt so as well. The onboard computer limits wheel slip like tcs in a normal car. I was a driving instructor at ft Polk. We got to beat the living SHIT out of everything from the h1's to the new MATV.(which is like a off road corvette lol)
I enjoyed watching you folks play with these...
Used to drive one of these beasts for a logging company I used to work for
TheGrizzness 1776 I was just thinking that these would be perfect logging trucks.
SuperMotoSean 419 they do use these for logging ...the 5ton and deuce and a half (2 1/2ton) but the best for logging is the HET (heavy equipment transport truck) it's is 8x8 and it's what they use to transport Bradly tanks it is a beast to drive and if the mud looks too deep then you can just drive around it even with the pine trees lol.... it'll tow the earth
+john martin the deuce an a half isn't nearly heavy enough. we had 2 of them we used to haul wood out of bad roads to where road trucks could get it. (swamp logger). transmission's wouldn't hold up. and the all fuel Perkins lacked on power. But with that being said low range 1st gear was a beast. I've seen the rear ends pulling mud and still crawling with 25 tons of wood behind it. I have seen the motor's chock out and start running backwards. pulling air through the stack and blowing exhaust out the air filter. the Cummins are alot better
john martin 915 and 916 was used for moving Bradley’s (not a tank)
TheGrizzness 1776 seems like the perfect choice of truck to be used for the logging industry
OMG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF DRIVING THESE IN GERMANY. ALSO GOT MINE STUCK IN THE TANK MUD FIELD. HAD TO GET PULLED OUT BY A M1A1 RECOVRY TANK. TOOK A LONG TIME TO WASH ALL THE MUD OFF. A BIG MESS. BUT HAD LOTS OF FUN. I DROVE OVER 200,000 MILES ACROSS GERMANY.
If those things had locking diffs they'd be pretty awsome
That would be insane. True 6x6 all locked up. Nothing could stop them
Off road wheels and tires would make both of them more bad ass. This video is awesome!
Good to see The Green Party environmental day out was well attended!!
When I was a kid my Father was a volunteer firefighter an they had one of these trucks they made a tanker out of it held 2000 gallons of water an it also had a Cummins motor an they had a regular tanker truck to with a Cummins motor in it now they got one an its slot bigger an it's got a Cummins motor too I got friends that own these trucks but not every day drivers .......
i love the sounds. what engines are they running?
8.3 Cummins
Wow, SnowRunner maker might saw this video before they design the game... All these dudes are in the game...
The Chevy, the GAZ, and the truck which looks the same like fictional truck ANK MK38 military grade... Wow, such powerful soul these dudes have along the mud...
Let me get the truck unstuck by flooring it
Hi try to tell people you can crawl out aswell
When in doubt throttle out
Seeing that mud fling everywhere is making me really nostalgic and reminds me of Motorstorm. Those were the days.
I'm not convinced that lockers would make much of a difference in a mire this bad. All that would happen, is all 6 wheels spinning instead of 3 or 4.
The tires are a huge difference. These bald tires at full pressure don't do much. Would love to find someone to compare my jeep jk on my channel
The sound of that turbo and double stacked exhaust😌😌
Got me all ready to play with the mudhens this weekend. Put some skidder tires on the pick up. Got the big Duramax all stacked up with a pair of 8 inch stovepipe exhausts. Put a 3 1/2 foot lift kit under her. Swapped in some injectors from a 750 hp CAT. Be blastin' Lynard Skynard out all 12 speakers. Turned the entire 8 foot bed into a giant beer cooler. Got two babes in bikinis riding shotgun, one black one white, want to be bi-racial you know.
Doug Copson And u are just 10 years old don't forget to mention!
Its great to see you enjoying your vehicles.
Them big guys might have done better with better tires.
There is a limited selection in that size and weight class
The tires weigh 500lbs
Theres only so many tread types in a 53" tire.
the new spintires looks really nice
Posi differentials should've been mandatory on those rigs....
Or selectable lockers. True 6x6 locked up would be insane
Those Oshkosh trucks don't play. God bless USA!
Reminds me of snowrunner
That's why I found myself here🤣
Would a locked diff on the tan truck help? He seems to be spinning the wrong tires
Most definitely. True 6x6 locked up would be unstoppable
526 commies didn't like this video
make it 908 commies to add to the list
Snowrunner brought me here. This looks like too much fun. (Edit: does no one do locking diffs..?)
I never understood why they don't put lockers on those
Maybe it's easier to service in the feild without them.....idk
@@rcash3625 Good point also if they took battle damage One side of the differential And say the whole tire got locked up they could just drag it with an open differential If it was solid the whole axle would lock up I could see them contemplating that being able to keep moving is more important on the battlefield And even if they do get stuck usually there's never just one truck they can always pull each other out
I have a complete set of all three air locking 5 ton Rockwell axles. Both rears and the front. Gear ratio is slightly lower, so a pinch higher freeway speed. 5.8X vs 6.44 I think. $2,000 each.
How can a truck like the tan colored one not have diff lock?
Probably didn't come factory. Meant to tow, not off road. But that would be insanw
Surprised me they had no diff locks or cross locks on 6wd trucks, great vid :-)
That would be insane. 3 axle locks. 6x6 locked up would go anywhere!
