From the 6CTA to the big 855? Aren't the 900 series trucks factory turbo trucks? I think I'm missing something...

Just wanted to say that I would put about 10 'THANKS' under this post if I could. ;)

what kind of rears are in it?

I think they're 445hp 8V92's in the HEMTT's.

My one buddy befriended Jack and got a thorough tour. It was an amazing amout of pieces from all over! What a great collection he had amassed.

I did that about 7 years ago when I put a 6.2 into my one M715. It was a Lakewood too. I kept running across slave cylinder bells and didn't want that. I forget exactly now...but I believe I had one or two factory bolt holes line up and then redrilled the large ear on the transmission to line...

NICE WINCH TRUCK! I do the same when I get in mine! :)

Lots of Allisons reside behind the Detroits... I had once set an 8V71T up on a stand to run. Batteries, small 12V fuel pump as lift pump pumping fuel to mechanical pump on front of blower. Make sure you don't just have a threaded hole into the head at the fuel outlet. There is a special...

This has been asked multiple times. The five ton winch can be rebuilt with the pinion flipped so it can be driven on the same side as the stock deuce winch. I installed a V8 CAT which was shorter than the multifuel and moved the radiator back by about it's thickness and was able to mount the...

Nice axle swap and spring over Chris!

Oh, and I meant 1200x 20's singled with chains from the earlier post.

I know the 931A2's have the exhaust on the back of the cab. Oh, and yeah...cab looks to be mounted higher as the pipe can be pretty easily seen. Deuce is TIGHT.

Lockers and 395 for everything else...or momentum and good driving. Serious, serious snow or snow pack, 1200x20's with GOOD chains. That would be my set up if I was offroading all year. Oh, power steering for sure.

I dunno how they can reference Mad Max and not have even traveld to Silverton NSW to the Mad Max Museum! :mrgreen: If anyone's interested it's 16hrs drive West from Sydney at about the far western border of NSW. Within about 15mi of where the filmed 'The Road Warrior' outside of Broken Hill...

When 300lbs of batteries are dead. :(

All the time or when it's cold? I've not swapped out for the ATF yet and until mine warms up plenty the shifts are real bangs. After it's warm, nice and smoothe!

I'm not coming down on you- more busting your chops. In PA, that's would've put your truck on the hook. It was kind of a segway into the discussion of no profit or yours for people that don't know.

In ride quality, now granted I'm sorta skipping a generation, but comparing a deuce to my 931A2 tractor is wide span between them. The deuce seems more underpowered, more notchy in shifting, braking is okay but not super confidence building (except my Hydro-MAX in crane truck :) !!!) and...

DOT numbers or not, isn't the hitch rating exceeded on the trailer? Doesn't that kinda make you feel...I don't know...like a huge liability looming?

So seriously...you just admitted to accepting compensation for the haul. You cannot accept ANYTHING in return. My buddy was one of the PA State Police guys that looked for these loads for a living and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED some guy with a commercial load claiming no compensation. His best was a...
