I drove one of these 52's from Ohio, down to Bragg back in the late 1980s. It had a Mack engine in it. We used to put the pork-n-beans or whatever the "main component" of the MRE was, up against the valve cover for a couple hours to heat up our lunch.....lol.
Okay, now I'm confused ---based on the comments here about M52 / M800 series and the airfilter housing being right or left side, I just went through a bunch of old pics from my unit and found that we had 'em on either side and all of our trucks where 800 series as far as I know. Where m52 types still in service through the mid- 90's?? All I know for a fact is my truck 's data plate said M818 and the filter was on the drivers side.
wrong, M818... they were the next generation 5 tons (809 series)... we have some at my old unit with a delivery date of june 1st, 1969 haha.... damn good trucks

That's an M52A1 or A2. The M818 replaced these and has the air cleaner on the left fender and isn't turbocharged.

it is a M52 and not a M818. The 818 has the airfilter on the left side and the front of the hood looks differend. Greetz from Germany.

thats because they run the 250 cummins, much better than the 465 multifuel which this on has and the one that my freind has, but still fun to have.
