Driving the M813

        So one thing I've noticed about the 5 ton
is that it does really well getting to the
governor in 1st through 3rd. Then in 4th, it
seems like it runs out of oomph. You have to
really give it time to get up through 4th. Then
getting up in 5th isn't so hard.

Also, what's the best method of shifting? Double
Clutching seems to be the best, but it's still a
pain sometimes to find 2nd and 4th.
