Good idea. But its like 1600 to 2100 miles depending on where ? Was hopping to not put the miles on the F250 but on the trailer. Do you pull the drive shaft ? Thanks for the idea ! Randy

Thanks ! Ant photos of your mount !

In looking at the photos ( I don't own one yet) I see some bolt heads at the petal hitch area. Could they be used to mount the receiver mount to ? My trailer has a 2 5/16" ball on receiver. Was hopping I could build it here and install if for the trip back with my F250 on the trailer. If and...

I read last night the Alum. 10"x 20" is 62 Lbs. That would be a good savings and would help the off the line start,big time !

I got ya. I was thinking if I could check it over ,fix any problem's I would just drive it back. I may be wishing !

My paper work said Kentucky . ? Lower ,South/West part .

I sent Mike a email about the wheels and tires today. With luck I can get a full set ? Just don't want a stack of tires to fall on me ! LOL

Many thanks ! I would not have looked at that. Maybe Mike a Premier has some ? Better yet maybe their still on the axles I will get ? No way ?Dreaming !

Good point about the studs. I will need to check that. Maybe the studs from the MRAP will work ? Air ride cab sounds good, seeing I'm this 18 year old trapped in this 64 year old body ! ;)

Thanks for the offer ,Tony ! Yes, Fort Campbell. I maybe bidding this Wed. Then I have 8 days to move it. Are tow it ? How far is you place from the front of Fort Campbell,Ky ?

Was looking at Alum. flatbed's. A 96" X 144" = 480 LBS.A savings of 720 lbs. Where is all the weight in this truck ? I know, don't ask. LOL

That's like throwing a small girl off the truck ? :whistle:

NDT, do you think the wheels make a big difference in weight ?

Man, CAT does a dyno test on all its motors. I just go the data sheet for the M1087 I'm looking at. Pretty cool, big brother is watching. 223hp at 2600 and 611 TQ at 1660 rpm on 12/8/1995.

Also,what are the right Aluminium wheels for the M1078 ? And are they worth it to save weight ? Trying to get the weight down. And, any idea what the standard bed weights ?

My friend said ,bump the rack and sync the injectors. He is a CAT guy and said that their is not a lot left a 225Hp. ? So I think we will just do a good tune and leave the big HP to some other motor. Thanks for the input!

Looking for a place to store a M1078 for 2-4 months ? Maybe less ? She will probably get towed their from Fort Campbell Ky. I would need to do some simple repairs on it. I would bring all my own tools. If I can't fix it, then I will have it shipped. Thanks for any help ! Randy

Thanks every one !

Thanks,Fast ! In the little bit of reading I have done here.It looks like gear change just moves things a little. I'm thinking of a better tune to help with a bit more power.( Still need more info on the retune ? ) And thought the gears would also help ? Don't want to be in the way. General...

I'm new here, Hello. Been looking into a M1078. Its more my style than the Duce 1/2. Getting older and the auto trans works for me. The Question is, I have talked with Mike and can get the 3.07 gears. I don't have a M1078 yet. Does it make sense to get the gears first ? Not looking for high...
