Sadly I am delayed big time with my home......but I do have my axles in my garage and ready for winter work

This is a great site for airbags......tons of sizes and measurements! https://www.truckspring.com/heavy-duty-truck-parts/air-springs.aspx

I was told by several driveshaft places to never exceed 3 degrees for cruising and high RPM uses.

Those are for another customer. Not sure where they are going.

Well still plucking away at my project. A few delays but moving forward. My axles are being fab'd up and put together and my Springs have been built. Looking forward to ASSEMBLING pieces, and setting the truck on it's wheels.

Well been bogged down with work, but I have the torque converter adapter finished and balanced as well as the stub shaft housing completed. To be sure, I had everything balanced to 3000 rpm. They had to remove 5 grams from the torque converter adapter plate the stub shaft housing was good...

Well this is where I am at now. I beefed up my motor mounts. After Rustystud mentioned his mounts were 5/8, I fully gusseted mine. So they are 1/2" thick, but I don't expect to abuse my pavement queen. You can see the difference in the before and after. Everything is roughed into place now...

Sadly, no. It does not breakdown into enough detail.

Nothing that has the detail I require. Or at least none, that I could find.

I need to clock a T-600 Transfer Case for my truck I am building and have run into a snag: Oil Pump: I need to clock my case at at least 45 degrees (preferred would be 60 degrees) but I am unsure where the suction lines are in the case. I removed the pump and it looks like it has dual...

Finally got my engine rough mounted and working on the motor mounts. The original engine mounts were on the verge of failure, so I opted for some heavy angle iron .500" thick. My youngest son spends hours helping me and enjoys turning wrenches, can't complain there! Picture 1 - Finally my...

US military surplus tranny.....I paid $4200 Canadian including delivery and customs; roughly $3000 US. It was brand new, still in the foil bag with desiccant and vac sealed. Only thing missing is the shifter and throttle positioning sensor. I was going to put in a MT 654, but this was to good...

Well, I have been bogged down with some small stuff, but none the less here is where I am at. Engine will be picked up later this week. Fender and grill spacers are modified and roughed in place. Building my mounting brackets and getting my rad, oil cooler, A/C condenser being built...

Yes, it is a "light duty" Freightliner suspension, rated for 40,000 pounds. The heavy duty is 46,000 pounds. I am swapping the air bags to ones from a bus to get the higher travel and hopefully a better ride. OEM was 5.2 inches of travel with a ride height of 2.67" and only external bump...

Well I have my suspension picked out......9" of air ride bliss and I have my roof cross members arched. I used a "light duty" suspension from a 2006 Columbia. Looks to be in very nice shape, but I will be replacing bushing while everything is easy. Pic #1,2 and 3 - loading up my new...

Thanks for that very good information! The air ride cab system I have has self leveling bars, so hopefully that should alleviate the role issue.

LOL, I saw that previous post on the swap before, but it wasn't crystal clear and I want to make sure I get it right the first time....axles are $$$$

I need a confirmation in regards to my transfer case. I have a T1138-11 case, that is disassembled and "in the shop" and I would like to order my axles. However, I just want to confirm the shaft outputs, (see drawing). Can someone chime in on the Front wheel drive and transfer case input...

I have been gathering parts and getting more tin work done. 4 door frames are stripped, air ride cab is sourced and engine is purchased. I have the front fenders and hood mocked up. Ordering my air conditioning, rad and inter-cooler hopefully this week as now I have measurements. Hit MAJOR...

Those are all very good points and I appreciate your questions! I am going to modernize the suspension and stretch the frame roughly 2' over stock. I am only working on the parts that will essentially be independent of each other. The cab is a fixed unit, so I can complete the roll cage and...
