My M925A2 has the newer 8.3 Cummins and is even quieter. Also I can run with the windows up in warm temps because it has a Red Dot air conditioner installed!

I've driven the deuces off highway quite a bit in the army. But I only road marched one once. It started raining real bad. It got so loud in that thing. Oh, and the wiper on the driver side went out. If I remember it was an air pressured wiper setup. My TC wouldn't let me pull over and try to fix it. I remember all the maintenance 5ton drivers wore ear protection. But the grunts in the line units driving the deuces just toughed it out and went deaf. Because you never knew when you were going to get yanked and put behind the wheel. That's why the army is for the young guys! Oh, and troops are the worst cargo. You should hear them b ithc, every little bump. If you're a bad driver you're in for some $hit when you stop.
