DaveP, with that HP, there must be quite a few modifications to the engine. Did you balance the crank, rods and pistons? Bore it, stroke it? I used a 4B for a band sawmill I made. Is the 4b and the 4 that you use the I have a Ford van/bus E450 that I will be robbing the entire frame and...

I'm not sure I understand DaveP. Are you using a Cummins 4? I can't quite tell in the photos. It appears to be a sizable turbo. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the condensed names. What tranny and axle ratio do you have? Do you have the front axle disengaged at the hub? Would you please post...

Sorry Hawssie...my computer keeps deleting my work before I get it posted (twice now)...so I will come back to this. In short, removing axles is about reducing weight (lots of it) while getting road gears and maybe lowered. I almost got one on GL this last round (for the tires/wheels)...

Yeh Derrick, Dave has a really nice setup. His rig inspired my thoughts of a sleeper...but lighter and geared entirely for the highway. Dave's rig looks like it can be taken off road but probably to 45-50 on the highway. For serious travel, I need MPG, thus to shed a lot of weight and...

Ok, side by side I see there is not room (length) for a four door, the electrical enclosure and a bed. That would take the extended bed model with a longer frame than the 923. Why wouldn't the 8.3 with a turbo and Allison make a fine medium duty setup? Jason...think how much weight will be...

Yea quickfarms, I am talking about making a medium duty from a 5 ton. Finding a donor medium duty (maybe a bus from a local dealer I know) would help for front and rear ends, but I want to keep the military look. The box above only weighs 880 and the M105 bed is rather light. I build sawmill...

I need a set of single tires for my 817 dump and an using the 11.00's from my 925. I am willing to buy a truck to get the tires and rims. The 925 is so darn nice (rebuild) that I do not have the heart to bob it, but I will single tire it to 14.00, then probably sell it. I need it's 11.00 G177...

Has anyone ever made a road truck from a 5 ton? I mean going so far as to remove all axles and transfer case, lower, no front drive and a road worthy gear set or commercial truck rear end (perhaps a two speed)? I searched differential changes but cannot locate a change like I describe. Please...
