Ron is correct about why, I also like the look of the front cap on the 809 series. I will probably be turning the rear doors around but not the rear cab, so I will have suicide doors on the rear for easier access to the back seat.

I believe that the radiator in the 809 is as big as the 939 but turned 90° from each other if not they are close and I know the 8.3 doesn't need all that is there, the military used a much smaller radiator under the intercooler on the electronic 8.3L

This is true, but have you turned up your 8.3 the difference is huge and it can easily go up to 350 HP, the 250 cannot be bumped that much, now if I had a 400 sitting around that would be in it, but I have come to realize that little 8.3 will do probably more than I need.

It might take me longer than 3 months but I will walk through and sort them.

Naw sorry bud but yours would be more work than starting from scratch

Thanks Zebedee

That's just it red only compound turbos I have seen on an engine this size are competition tractors. I would like 5-600hp but don't need it, if I could buy a system that I knew would be reliable I might do it but this will need to be a tried and true system because I will be going to Alaska and...

This is not being built to off road or carry huge loads, the extra axle would increase the scrub when turning decrease fuel mileage and just suck more horse power from the truck. Also traction shouldn't be a problem with the lockers in the rears, possibly even a interlock and different gearing...

Still waiting for wrecker titles in Ms.

Okay so does anybody make a compound setup for the 8.3?

I do plan on adding air ride but don't need the extra axle.

Probably going to leave the rear axles in the stock location and cut of extra bit of frame, but I had thought about moving them to the rear but that would not be worth the extra work.

Thanks for that I wasn't sure what the ratio was going to be but now my question is why the compound turbos are needed, only want around 400 HP, I would think that with a intercooler and tuning that should be a easy number to achieve?

So first let's see what transmission. I think the Spicer 5 ton 5 speed would be good.

Xlwb trucks are reinforced like a wrecker Yeah I am going to use the boom legs off of a wrecker and store them along the frame, also going to make feet for them to to use as land anchors /chocks and maybe tow bar. Going to have to work on the last one a bit. Uh no. I will make you one...

Okay going to cross a M928A2 and a M818 and or a M35 maybe. Going to double the cab 809 front cab 939 second cab, 8.3L cummins, 809 or m35 front cap, 5 speed or more manual transmission, 936 wrecker transfer and pumps, and winches, 45,000 winch in the headache rack. This just a jump off point...

The armored cabs had different cab mounts.

Turbinesurgeon has done his A3 and only used the lower pieces I will ask him to post a picture tomorrow.

That's nuts! $125! For a heater manual that is crazy.

They are fairly new but I have seen two different companies versions Dialight, and truck lite, 12v/24v LED Headlamp w/ Heated Lens | NSN# 6220-01-616-1079.
