    Red Footwell lights

    While you guys are looking at lights, if you run into any RED and/or WHITE, LED, 24V, Exterior, maybe 3" x 5" or so, Surface Mount, it will probably be 3 wires so It can glow RED or WHITE, .............I would appreciate a heads up . I think there is one out there that is like $132.00 EA, too...

    Artisan's M916

    I think I found the jake brake issue and if you have a 7155 tranny take note. At the rear of the Air Control Group there are 2 wires for the ENGINE RETARDER SWITCH. There are two tiny 8-32 screws that hold the wire eyelets to this switch, they can come loose and the eyelets can touch, when...

    Artisan's M916

    The Jake Brake Foot Switch in the cab is made by Cole Hersee #9183-BX If I remember right the -24P TM gives you #006007 for this part. Looks like R Racing found another number as well, #SS525 . My throttle position switch seems to be in adjustment A-OK, Looks like I will go for the #6 Circuit...

    Artisan's M916

    My Jacobs brake quit working on my most recent 1300 mile Arizona trip. (It was it's maiden voyage! Ha! ) When I was at Barstow GL Military base a trucker hauling a beat up M931 stopped while I was loading up containers for 98G, just to look at my M916. Come to find out, he is an enlisted man...

    1/0 Welding Cable for use as slave cable

    I have gone that route, making a set w/ ends. It was a LOT of work to do it right (in my mind anywho) . I think I dipped the ends in molten solder and soldered on copper eyelet ends and shrink wrap etc, it was a LOT of work. Don't forget to get the polarity right! Those ends are rated at 500...

    Artisan's M916

    QF yes I was told about doing this and reclassifying but I think I would be pardoned since it is indeed a CONVERTIBLE, as in I can take off 8 bolts and remove the flatbed and install 8 bolts and I have a 5th wheel. I can do it...planned. I am looking at it like it IS a commercially used...

    Artisan's M916

    Anyone fully knowledgeable about Federal Regulations on clearance lights? I have seen the posters but I am still a little unsure on what all I have to do to make the added flatbed compliant w/ Federal Lighting Requirements / Laws. So as a tractor only, all my lights and reflectors are up...

    45K Rear Winch on M931A2?

    Moving a 5th wheel plate anywhere other than original design can make big problems. A 5th wheel is supposed to be centered on or just forward of the center of the 2 rear axles so weight it distributed property for BRAKING mostly, as I understand it. To far forward puts excessive weight on the...

    Any So Calif Painters onboard?

    Stay tuned to the Artisan's M916 thread QF and no, I deleted the ISO twist locks in favor of a more versatile design that will still do that job.

    Schutt Industries 1CSL0-SLC-T-1000 Self Loading Trailer

    I used my trailer for the first time. it was not exactly fun because this container I believe was not built to ISO specs. the corners look ISO but the metal is only about .125" thick so the black guides were sloppy. I have a resolve for this, I am going to get a piece of 2.5" Sch 40 steel pipe...

    Looks Interesting Stealth Bike

    Now if "they" could just invent stealth dust clouds. But a squad on bikes could move VERY quickly on these things for sure w/ minimal acoustic signature.

    Any So Calif Painters onboard?

    Paint and Electricity are not my forte' . Auto-CAD, Plumbing and fabbin' things we do fine. Are there any painters who are not afraid of CARC that can shoot a flatbed I just built? the whole thing will come off very easy if a forklift is available. I could rent one for a 1/2 day perhaps. I...
