Looks like I need to keep looking. Maybe next time ? Non-runners going for $6500 + , or somebody knows their ok ? LOL Just not meant to be, today.

Looks like I got blown out of the water on a runner with low oil pressure. Oh,well I need to think more about the non-runners ? Maybe next time ?

I hate the fat lady !

Well ,we will see if one of the M1078 will come to my care ? Auction today . But like last time someone will bid it too high ?

Going to try to find one (M1078) here in Phoenix and then see about fabing most of it here. Maybe do a test fit here also ? Also made a copy over on the 2" x 2" receiver page. My bad !

Here is the general idea ? What do you think ?

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 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 ! ;)

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

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!

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...
