WILL be STILL be to wide UNLESS you also remove the spacers

the -10 does not lie, 2100 or there abouts is the governed rpm, the 855 is very over rev sensitive, valves float, hit pistons

I do not believe that there is WRECKER owner that has NOT done the same thing, only after a bit of PANIC and a LOT inappropriate words do they REALIZE the problum

sounds like your sucking a TINY bit of air

This is back to my irregular update and update, update, update, update, update, update, Just in case someone came back from the twilight zone or returned to/from area 52, 53, 54, 69, ect. and was not present to add to the count. and do to the current up swing in acquired wreckers If you notice...

THIS IS MOST LIKLEY THE CAUSE, not poppet valves, to much air presure, ect., that fitting is the exhaust from the transfer shift cylinder

Well after a little research, knowing that the 5t, top mounted double, reduction axle was a standard axle used in every day comercial heavy trucks, I found the ratios that was used plus the use of a inter-axle differential or a power divider (cannot be both at the same time because both use the...

I was not attacking you, I know it is your truck and you have every right to do what you want with along with a great how to, I was trying to let others know the major problem of hopping up a 240 Cummins. You may get away with the hop up and the motor last for ever and that would be great, I...

A bit of over tack (showing 2450), 855s do not like over tack, something about valve floating, hitting pistons, ect. There is a reason Cummins put squirters in the 290 and other higher hp motors, trying to pull 300 hp out of a non-squirter 250 (really a 240) plus over tack leads to cooked/broke...

sure makes thinks easier if we know what truck we are talking about

Still have to pull the spacers and change the wheel studs

True, BUT if something happens, there IS somebody there to help/get help, instead of finding the wincher beyond help 2 days later and whoever thinks things don't/can't happen is a IDIOT and VERY dangerous to them selves and others.

A while back, I heard of a guy that pulled the spacers, ect, put 1100x20s on and made a LONG wheel base tractor.

OPERATORS MANUAL = -10 of the 272 TM series

If stock with 1400x20s, it will be OVER WIDTH

The -10 shows and tells you HOW to lower to the lower transport height, READING the TMs makes a person a LOT smarter

There should be quite a few threads on winch safty as it is preached quite often, the NUMBER ONE rule is WINCHING IS NOT A ONE PERSON PROJECT, no matter what some say (they have been lucky)

From what I understand, the 5t winch converted to hyd (900 5t) will NOT FIT the 39/809 series 5t because there is a relief on the right side for the hyd. motor on the 900 5ts that is NOT there on the 39/809 series What truck are you talking about, the m51 in the title of this thread IS a 5t...

What about the added weight on the front axle, both on this build and a 900 5t, seems like a lot of extra weight with the new cab hanging out in front.
