If someone could give me exact dimensions I should be able to duplicate that, looks simple enough. Due to the compound angles a sample would be preferable to match it, but either way. Probably take a few days to get to.

According to specs, the ISB 5.9 24v cummins puts out varied torque numbers, I would highly recommend looking up the specifics of the engine that you have. The 4L80E is rated at 440ft-lb of input torque. The stock 6bt is about that, but the ISB 5.9 puts out considerably more torque on some of...

It would have been easier to find parts for that swap, but I think I have it sorted. The Spicer 3053A from the M35A2 is a SAE #3 bellhousing, the Spicer 6453 from the M54A1 is SAE #2 bellhousing, so it's a different hunt for parts, same book but different page. I think I have all the parts...

Another idea for using bolts is to use button top hex or phillips and just put filler over the top of the bolts to make them look like rivets, if you don't like that look in the future.

What filament are you using? I have used mostly ABS for the better wear, and built a great enclosure which helps a ton on prints, I'm going to see about ordering some 0.6mm for my Ender 5 Plus for when I get around to it.

I've done my homework, for sure. Comparing the estimated/potential hp and torque output of this modified engine should have it well above the Mack, and better than the multifuel at bare stock. I've specifically built it for lower end power, so the 1400rpm stock torque band compared to the...

I would have preferred a transmission swap at the same time, but mine has a PTO w/ winch in the front, and it's a pretty large price jump for the project to do that as well. Is that a stock 6BT? How does it compare to the multifuel in pushing that truck around?

A stock 6BT has about 215hp at 2,500rmp and 420 torque at 1,600. You can push those motors to about 800-1k hp before you start to lose reliability. It has forged pistons, I've put the Hamilton 168/208 cam in it for slightly increased hp and because it increases the spooling of the turbo at...

Finally back on my 5 ton project. Between buying some off-grid Az property and having a kid it's been sitting for a few years. Have my 6BT almost built, was wondering if anyone has any experience in swapping that with matching one up to the Spicer 6453 or close. I know it's the STD #2...

This truck was redone in 1975, so I am guessing as it has the 673C, I am strongly considering doing a cummings swap for reliability/power/easier to maintain. Would anyone here be interested in the engine/trans from an M54A1 and what could I expect to get for it? Located in So. Cal. Not ready...

Finished a locking battery box to keep battery tender inside as well as a simple cut off switch for between the terminals. Kind of sucks to be in California, as the level of thievery and such is not unsubstantial, especially on bigger trucks and their batteries.

Can you give me a reference as to where they changed the laws preventing me from registering a 5 ton as a housecar? I'm having trouble finding anything that prevents me from doing so and can still find the forms and requirements on DMV's website for declaring a vehicle to be used for habitation.

I have the option of registering it in Az, as I can store it there for half the year at my boss's place, how does Az fare in the registration game?

It's still possible to register them as RV's isn't it? I was under the impression that either the 2.5 or 5 ton registered as an RV only requires a class C, as you are able to drive any housecar under 40 feet, has no specific restrictions on weight or axles. Also, is it the same or easier to...

I got one of the 1:78 torque multipliers off of Amazon, not a bad tool for $85, but kind of cheap. Mine had a few tight spots so I worked the tool quite a bit and put some wear into it until it smoothed out (for proper torque readings). I just did mine by hand while watching a few movies, but...

Really, the stress points on the bottom are to be found most on the angle section of the tool, having a full ring only actually adds more weight to only add more holes to mount. If it were necessary to have all holes bolted it might make a difference, but it really only needs as many as...
