Good point I think it would be easier to cut and swap the pickups in the pan rather than cutting a relief, who knows they may even be pretty close to unbolting and swapping as well. thanks.

Yeah I have researched that thread after posting, he cut and tig welded a relief in the 400 pan but also commented that the 250 would work it just had a smaller pickup than the 400.

you would have to swap over the drivetrain as a whole, the brakes will not cross over. By the way, any updates on this little project?

I have an 816 with a nhc 250 and want to do a re-power with a big cam 400. Now I know the typical will not have enough hood clearence etc. but my question is are the blocks close enough in design to use the oil pan and pickup off of the 250 for clearance, the engine mounts, the intake off of a...

I saw that episode, they made it look easy with there special programs and plasma bed. I would not go that far unless I was being a menace to south central while drinking my juice in the hood.:driver:

the only thing I have seen this on is a mk17 trailer.

Hi Soni, your truck is inspirational, if it wasn't for the fact that there is absolutely nothing I could use it for except to stare at it and sleep in it once in a while I would try to build one similar. By the way you are already a celebrity here if you did not already know.:-D

I pay 260 every 6 for my 5 ton on commercial insurance with 5k miles a year limit.

commercial insurance through state farm, varies by weight and miles per year and varies greatly.

915,916, and 920 come across gl all the time, the others are a little more rare, if you are patient you will see some really nice ones come across, the only upside is the allison auto in the 915 is tits, the cat 16spd is nice but can be problematic, the nice thing is when it does die just put a...

tell that to the "ice road truckers" :-P

I would say before that question can be answered you might want to clarify exactly what you are looking for. the 919 is a concrete truck the 915 is a tractor 4x6 no rear lockers (allison 5 spd auto) the 916 is a tractor 6x6 lockers 16spd the 917 is a dump truck 6x6 lockers 16 spd the 920 is a...

with the 400 and the low gearing that comes with the truck you will be able to get her up to 80 and still pull hells half acre behind you plus worst case scenario you have the pump on the 400 turned up a little you you will be in the 600 horse range in no time. The Hmmtt wheels a la carte do...

Ok looks like you edited for the 919, it has a big cam three 400hp or ntc400 has a cat 16sp semi automatic trans, like a manual with no clutch still have to shift. It does have detroits in the rears, they are not that great in the snow, you will want to change out the bias ply's for some...

Here is a second one, bobbed that I have been throwing around as well for a truck to build, this one is probably a little more maneuverable but I cannot fit the crane on this one.

I think your goodyears are not going to have near the life as the xml's due to the softer compound fo the mvt's

dang, so simple and I cannot believe I did not think of that.:idea: I love this site;-)

I forgot to mention, a knuckle boom crane and dump assembly will be on here as well, I just have to wait for the right price on the crane, already have the dump assembly for it.:twisted:

5 ton Hybrid Ok this is a concept that I am beginning to gather trucks for, the truck will end up double framed with a DT466 and a 9speed manual or allison auto, not sure which with the upper frame, bed, and cab. The transfer case, steps, tool boxes, fuel tank, winch and axle assemblies...

does the 5 ton operate the same as the deuce?
