    ok - so there are two guys with totally different opinions - anybody else ? since there is a m920 variant that is a heavy dump truck - I would be lead to believe that it CAN take heavy loads on the rear springs and side loads on the frame - when the loaded truck dumps and isnt on perfectly...

    Water to air intercooler, Charge air cooler, Aftercooler...

    the new ford scorpion diesel in 2011 f series trucks uses a air to water intercooler - I think the advantage is primarily size of the intercooler can be greatly reduced because water conducts heat much better than air.....therefore compromises because of space limitations are minimized or...

    TH400 Cracked Bellhousing

    forklift damage that wasnt visible from GL forklift? can you get it welded up - depending on how its cracked a good tig welder or spool gun mig welder might fix it if crack is not on the fluid section of the tranny itself - just the bellhousing junkyards should have t400 - check around
