    Finally started 5-ton Hauler.....F950

    That looks pretty sick. Did you have to do anything to the firewall to clear the motor? Do you forsee any fender trimming needed to be able to turn the tires off-road?

    M923 and SAND??

    There was an M923(A3?) running around Pismo August 24-25 for the "Huckfest" that seemed to be having no problems. I didn't follow him long enough to see how well it did and I haven't been able to find any videos online. It sure made me miss mine though. There was also a bobbed deuce on 14s that...

    M931 Bobber Project With Air Ride

    Can you post pics of where you mounted the shocks? I want to do that on mine once bobbed too.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Please do post results. I have yet to find a step-by-step guide that yields a respectable amount of power gain. Most of the 8.3L information is on P-pumps and very little is on MW pumps like all A2s have. I'm getting sick of pulling 35mph up the hill to my house.

    Finally started 5-ton Hauler.....F950

    That's pretty ingenious and will look good if executed cleanly. Personally I would do a dual scalloped wheel well versus one big one but it's not my truck to nitpick.

    Finally started 5-ton Hauler.....F950

    That is going to be beastly, I love it! Are you keeping all three axles or dropping one of the rears? How is the bed going to work with your 5th wheel? It doesn't look like much bedrail clearance. A couple weeks ago I was at Pismo and there was a guy running around in an M923A2 with the...

    Finally started 5-ton Hauler.....F950

    I like where this is headed. Are you doing air ride front too? I would like to "civilize" mine a bit as well, seems to be the only way to keep the rain out.

    Cant find Governor Springs

    I like the sound of 500hp. What kind of cost is related to these parts? Do you have a parts list? I would like to turn mine up a bit, it gets real old doing 35mph up a hill getting passed by hybrids. Also, what's the best way to get cold air? I need to pull off the snorkel to put a box on...

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    The blue top deep cycle batteries are designed to be drawn all the way down periodically and tend not to like staying at a charge for too long of a period. The red tops are meant to stay fully charged as in a typical daily driver. The yellow tops are a mix of the 2. If I remember right, CCA is...

    Mounting antenna,fender mount which side?

    Mine came from the GL with an antenna mount on the passenger fender. No supports under the fender made it a lot easier to pull off. I'm left with holes in my fenders now though. Mine also had the radio tray behind the seat and some bracketry on the dash that just gets in the way. Best pic I have...

    M931 Bobber Project With Air Ride

    Good to hear it was so easy. The bags do look a bit lower than they would on a semi, almost out of range for the Firestone spec. The ride height corresponds to the spring rate on airbags so I guess I'm still curious on the ride although I guess anything is better than the dump truck bogeys. Does...

    M931 Bobber Project With Air Ride

    I like it, that was real quick! Did you have to do anything special to get the brakes to clear? Was the leaf spring perch the same Freightliner on, just flipped up on top? What was your ride height like, do you know how much uptravel you have with the bags aired out? Sorry for so many questions...

    M931 Bobber Project With Air Ride

    Pics of the airide are a must please. I'm wondering how well the Kenworth setup clears the airbrake cans.

    Wheelbase is 12in shorter. 67in should be your answer. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?100857-M923-frame-length
