Stretched the whole truck out and didn't use a multi-fuel. Wayne
This is from the -10 for the A3

(1) Engine is a Caterpillar 3116 Air-to-Air After Cooler (ATAAC) diesel, 170
HP, 420 lb-ft (570 N•m), designed to meet or exceed performance requirements
of the 2-1/2-ton ESP vehicle.
(2) Automatic transmission is an Allison AT-1545P, 4-speed, which shifts
automatically in all forward ranges and requires no operator action
uncommon to standard automatic transmission.
(3) Transfer case is a Rockwell T-136, 2-speed, which in conjunction with
the
transmission, provides up to 8 forward and 2 rearward speed ranges to
front and rear differentials.
(4) Front and rear axles are Rockwell C-240.
(5) Wheels are two-piece Motorwheel 20 x 11.00.
(6) Tires are Michelin 14.5 R20XL tubeless radials with a minimum life of
10,000 miles (16,090 km).
(7) Power assist steering cylinder and drag link are manufactured by Sycon.
(8) Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), designed by CM Automotive
Systems, allows the truck operator to monitor and regulate tire pressure
from driver’s compartment before and during vehicle operation.
