    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I am AMAZED that you are STILL finding room on the truck to mount things, you almost need a road map just to find your way around, You do not have to worry about the truck getting stolen and used because it way to busy for a common thief to comprehend.

    M925 "Bobbitt" Project 09.07.14

    The 105a2 bed is what is speced by the client, what the CLIENT wants, the CLIENT gets, I voted for a 1101/1102 bed. The big thing about this project or any major project is to have the FINISHED product pictured in your mind, then break it down step by step again picturing and analyzing each...

    M925A2 to M932LA2 Conversion

    Remember, tractors have a DROPPED rear cross member to clear the king pin if the ramps are used to hook up to a low trailer, without the DROPPED rear cross member, there is a very good chance the king pin WILL hit the rear cross member when hooking up and HANG up on it if the landing of the...

    M101A2 Brake Lockout Hole

    I would just use a long 3/8: drill, just ream out the hole so the 3/8 " pin slides in, do this while HOOKED UP because this is the condition of the trailer when backing and the holes will be where they should be. set the brakes, pull forward, drill, this should do it for you.

    m923 DRAGING BRAKE PROBLEM

    I would take the time to install a lube fitting after you cleaned everything while freeing up the brakes, does not take much, the wedge style brakes will tend to rust after sitting for a while, then hang up when used, so you need to use the truck more often or install the fittings.
