What vehicle is this Allison tranny in?

On paper the truck will remain an M916 and the load capacities 'off-road' will be governed by the Rockwell axles and the Hendrickson suspension. So 20,000 pound rating on the front axle and 56,000 pound rating on the rear tandem SUHD axles for a theoretical GVW of 76,000 pounds. On the highway...

Exhaust heat shield Well....once again the day is over and I did not get as much done as I was hoping I would....must be the story of my life I guess.... :grd: I did get the whole exhaust system sanded and painted with black 'Ultra High Heat Paint' and got the top part of the heat shield...

Hey Pete, Not trying to argue with you, but this is definately a HEMTT cab. As you can imagine, at this point I'm pretty intimately familiar with the Mk48 cab, and a good way to tell the difference between it and a HEMTT cab, is by the front cab mount. The MK48 has one single big mount on a...

Nice! That is going to feel like a brand new truck when you get it swaped! Mind me asking if there are any more new cabs available? I have a friend that is looking for one, but all I have are MK48 cabs. Thanks Soni

Looks nice! Wheels and tires always make the biggest difference in a vehicles apperance.....

AZ....Thanks and I will make sure to post some videos of the FEMTT in action, once I get it running! Soni

It is going to be my "regular tan"......lol

Well, I did not get anything done today, so I took a few full view pics.....I'm pretty happy with the way the truck is turning out, but I sure can't wait to see it moving from the spot, it has been occupying for the last seven month! I'm predicting that it will take me another 10 Days to have...

Yes the ROPS is bolted to the frame with six large bolts and is removable if I have to pull the engine. That's what the D-rings are for at the top of the ROPS. Pretty much everything else cane be serviced through all the access panels though. Also the fenders come off with removing just a few...

Back engine compartment panel I was hopeing to get more done today, but I'm happy that I got the back engine compartment panel done. Maybe tomorrow I can get the rest of the things done in this area and finally re-install the hydraulic tank. I had to take the top part of the exhaust system and...

Allison transmission tcm and wiring.... Today, I was working on getting the Allison Transmission's TCM and the relay box mounted in a water tight container. I decided to use an old 'US Army Night Vision Goggle' box and mount it to the back side of the spare tire carrier. The two main...

Hmmm.....I did keep all the receipts for parts and materials that have went in to the FEMTT project, but I have not been 'brave' enough to total them up! I did not keep track of my hours......probably a good thing though....I don't want to end up on Prozac.... Lol :whistle:

That is too cool!!!! I want one:drool: Soni

We got air!!!! Today I finally got the air intake plumbing betwen the turbo charger and the air cleaner buttoned up. I still need to fabricate a mount for the top of the crossover tube so the whole thing won't move around to much. I did get the passenger side fender tacked in place the other...

Thanx guys! Do we really have a "Railroad Forum"....? Soni

Topping it off with a non synthetic 15W 40 motor oil would probably be safe, if you don't want to change all the fluid.

.....and then the tender move.... And here are a few pics from the tender move, on the second day....as you can see from the pics, the loading in Durango could almost be considered an amphibious landing operation.... lol

Steam locomotive move....m920a1 + m747 As requested here are some pics of the recent move of D&RGW C-18 Engine 315 from Durango, CO to Chama, NM on the M747 lowbed trailer pulled by my M920A1. It all went well except for a bunch of rain on the second day in Durango. We had to load the tender...

I talked to Caterpillar and they told me to use 15W 40 weight synthetic engine oil! So in my M920 I used the synthetic 15W 40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine motor oil made by AMSOIL. Soni
