    Well, we got a ton of work done this week.. Got the shower walls built (putting in a 2 piece unit) and got the front bedroom wall installed with the folding door, and the right side wall is insulated, and 90% of the paneling is up on it. Also working on insulating the ceiling. (That...

    hey durango_USMC, have you looked into a haynes manual for your M1008? (same as a K30) it might help you with your axle rebuild.. I find it easier to understand then a TM.. and just a bit of advise, I wouldn't use autozone parts (I dont know if you are or not, just had MAJOR problems with AZ) i...

    Do I need bigger brakes...?

    drum brakes do have more stopping power... if pulling heavy loads, i would prefer the drums.. plus the D60 rear that the M1008 came with had some VERY beefy drums on it... just my 2cents

    my understanding is that the gross weight is both axle and pin weight... so total weight of trailer... mine was 19K lb when i picked it up.. lol

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    gotcha.. if you do much pulling, you might look into a engine swap.. I am putting a small cam 350 in mine... i was all the way down to 28mph on the interstate in some places pulling the 971.. that is to me a safety hazard at night.. so i just want to be able to maintain 55mph..

    i was really looking for a M928 to convert to a 4 door tractor... but the price was right on the m932.. but i like the sleeper idea.. but why a sleeper if your pulling a camper? just a question.. lol

    I also have been following your thread for your M931.. I like the mods you have done... if I wasnt going to use my M932 as a tractor, I would have borrowed (stole lol) some of the ideas you have used! I was looking at the trailers like yours (m373?) but i liked the air-ride but the 971 came...

    I cant find any markings on the trailer plug.. but i would guess it to be 100+ amp.. it is about 4" across... we pulled the plug for Matt's s280 over and it was much too small.. (it looked the same..) matt is supposed to be snapping some pics of it and sending them to me.. i will post them when...
