and the rear mount...
You won't regret it. I air ride everything I can.
I prefer a front mount with more of a pivot and also prefer to sub frame a cab that was never designed to move.
I had my injectors and pump done by http://dieselsfuelinjection.com/
Erik confirmed that the MW will handle 400hp worth of fuel, and then some - He installed springs and calibrated it as such, then dyno'd it. He rebuilt my injectors with Bosch parts and then dyno'd those.
I would not have...
Sure, it goes like stink. We had the injectors and pump built to match that turbo. We also did the timing and changed the plumbing.
You really have to do all of the above to get the most out of it.
The 8.3L in our trucks really can't take advantage of more modern turbos and we were just fine...
Just read this complete thread... looks like I can do this on my M816 too. The 816 uses 1.5" front wheel cylinders and 1.75" rear cylinders. I'll leave the air pac in to operate the towed air brakes.
Giving Precision Rebuilders a call on Monday... fell Pirate and all.
So getting ready to rebuild the brake system on an M816. I bought a new master cylinder and an air pack rebuilt kit.
Any tips for the air pack rebuild?
Bet I'll have it swapped into my 816 with the Allison TC10 before you have yours in? :)
I have all the pieces to do put it in - from the truck my brother totalled.
