    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Antenna Mount and Block Heater I used the break in the cold weather, to install a Zero Start engine coolant heater on the FEMTT. It should aid with the starting procedure on really cold mornings. I also used opporunity to address a couple of little coolant leaks, that had developed after I...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    A Little Progress.... So now that I got somewhat cought up on my "real" work and the weather finally got nicer again (it was -19F a few days ago) I had a chance to do a little more work on the FEMTT...... I got the cover for the air cleaner modified, to accept the air intake scoop off of an...

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    Sorry about the late response. I installed the valve body heater that came with some of the trucks and that fixed it to the point, were it only took about 5 to 10 minutes for it to start working. (about the time to get all the air tanks pumped up) I can look, might still have one of the...

    Cruise Control

    I have had this system on my M920 before I swapped in the ISX and have to say; Cruise Control King makes a great product! Just call them with your needs and they will point you in to the right direction. Even if you do not drive the truck all that much, CC is really a great addition to any MV...

    Patracy's "SEMTT"

    That is one AWESOME looking truck Drew! I really like the way it all comes together and looks like a unit, when paint is applied! I like the door logo....that is going to look sharp. I agree that the big 'empty' doors are just asking for some kind of markings or emblems. So in order to match...

    Patracy's "SEMTT"

    I can highly relate to that, after my recent painting venture on the FEMTT! Seems like every time I turn around, I see another spot that I've missed.....:roll: Speedo looks good btw...!

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Ah I got you, I did not realized that you do the grader work. Are you going to install spray heads or a spray bar on the back of the trailer and use the pump to pressurize the water, or is it going to be gravity feed?

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    So when you say you are going to use the 5000 gal. trailer to 'get water for the road', what is the water going to be used for? Soni

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Ed, The water storage tanks are there to supply the "Monestary of Christ in the Desert" with drinking water and to irrigate their gardens, and yes, I believe they are made of poly- something....lol Btw. Some of the monks seemed to look a little concerned, when I first pulled in to their...

    Patracy's "SEMTT"

    So I thin the paint two part paint and one part paint thinner. That gives me one and a half gallons per gallon as sprayed. On the FEMTT, I have used three gallons so far and two thirds of a case (12 cans to a case) of spray paint for the small stuff. I bought four gallons (It is cheaper to ship...

    Patracy's "SEMTT"

    I have been using the paint from RAPCO for close to 20 years now and have had really good luck with it. I really don't like to do prep work, so the fact that this paint can paint over just about every surface and even dirt, makes it perfect for me. It is also pretty affordable at around...
