Jake brake pedal...with the auto trans you need to be able to use jake down to 1500 rpm or a little lower then let off for down shift...there is a switch on IP throttle linkage that will only allow the jake to come on when you are off the throttle...switch is adjustable...

I hate to high jack this thread, but since you guys love these pics here is the last 2 M920's I did with brand new 16' beds on them with a 2 way tail gate. These make great dump trucks, I have another new bed being made for another build. Check out the dump truck section in my website below for more pictures.

What tires you running on those trucks? And isnt the 920 platform the same as the 917?

stock 12.00-24 on rear, and new 395/85R20 XZL on the front, they are the same height. Yes they have the same platform. My beds have 54" tall sides. I think the 917's have 36" tall sides.

looks good John, it sure did turn out nice. I love my truck but if I were to do it again I would build mine the same as it is now but I would have started out with a 916 for the shorter wheelbase.

This summer im going to be making a slide on dump bed hopefully. Good job on that bed. I will be keeping the winch on and maybe use it for the slide and dump part of the bed, but i do not use this tractor for work just for fun and around home stuff. There are no m916 around here and it is fun to see peoples faces when they see the m916, most never seen this monster.
