    2014 MVPA National Convention- Louisville, KY

    yes, that is where we are holding it.. in the south wing, LOTS and LOTS of room! Unfortuntly we had no choice with this.. outside venders would have been too far away from the main event, and the KEC does not allow tent camping.. We had the same "cramped"feeling from the last convention, and...

    M923A2 Engine Swap

    why not go with a Cummins Big Cam 400, and tune it up some.. you can pull up to 600-700hp out of one, and still be streetable.. and the upside is it is a 855 block.. (what the A0 and A1 version of your truck came with) so buch easier to swap in..

    you might also lool into 395/85/20 tires for it.. they are slightly shorter (more "grunt" for hauling weight, and less rollover chance) higher weight rating, and higher speed rating (65MPH the tires that are on it are maxed at 55MPH) having had a 5ton with duals, and singles.. IF your going off...

    WWII Tri-Axle Dodge?

    They are pretty fun to drive, but SUCK down the fuel.. and 45mph is just about all it wants.. very cool trucks, but not something you want to drive everyday..

    Patracy's "SEMTT"

    the actuater is really easy to "rebuild", normally all it needs is pulled apart, LIGHTLY sanded to remove burr's, and oiled.. it can be done on the truck, but is easier if removed.. just need a spanner wrench, and compressed air to get it apart..

    M813 w / turbo

    If you are adding a turbo, I would run 5" exhaust.. Not 4".. You will need the extra flow with the turbo. (More air in, means more air out) this is what I did when I turbo'ed the 250 in my M932.. And just a tin shield should work for your battery's..
