I like your installs! I installed an EGT gauge, turned both fuel settings up and Gov springs. I can get EGT's as high as id like, what have we deemed "safe". I am going to look into an intercooler, the truck just wants to go but temps climb to fast.
Has anyone seen a bed installed over the fifth wheel? I will possibly entertain an idea to try this on my next project. Not sure if there is a big enough void to rearrange cross members to make this happen.
That sounds like a good trade! The only difficult part was getting the 26 rivets out to slide the suspension and inside channel back. Having the winch on the back of the truck would be pretty cool because you could mount a fairlead to the top of the trailer and use the winch to pull things...
Thanks I'm liking it too! I plan on throwing a m817 or a m923 on it as well. I just got my SF-97 so I'm trying to get everything road worthy for GA SS rally. As far as paint goes the truck will be green and trailer will most likely be black.
Who put concrete in my truck?
I took the floor mat out of the truck and found the "corrosion resistant coating "! This stuff is not flat at all and it is driving me crazy so I welded up a new bit for my hammer drill and chipped it all out. I also discovered one place where the floor was...
Not exactly sure if you mean PTO shaft or rear drive shaft. The rear drive shaft was lengthened 28". I kept it as a single shaft so no mid bearing. Air lines were extended as well, PTO did not change.
Got it hooked up tonight no issue with rear crossmember! I am going to install jacks to hold the trailer at the proper height anyway. I took it for a spin around the block it performs pretty well. I had only driven the truck with front brakes not compleatly releasing so compared to that it...
Nice truck looks pretty well put together, but it's hard to really tell in a video. Nothing glaring you you in the face though. I've collected some parts to build one down the road!
I did notice in all of my searching that the rear cross member is dropped. The pintle is also different. I have a trailer that has always used ramps but I guess for now I'm going to install jacks and search for a rear setup to match 931. The truck is almost ready to ride! I am going to have...
Thanks Mike I used your pictures to help me lay out bolt position on the angle. I got everything drilled last night just need to tighten it all up. 2am is a bit late for an impact even in the country! Here are some pictures of progress. And the tool that makes it possible.
I bought a 40' lowboy this week so the pressure is on! The plan is to put the Deuce on the front and a 5 ton on the back for the ga rally! Check list for the next 7 weeks, cdl, stacks, finish up 5th wheel and air lines, sf-97 to title tow rig, air ride seats, and make sure new trailer is road...
Hey guys I came up with a fifth wheel and ramps. If a tractor owner could measure between rap and thick plate bolted to 5th wheel it would help. I don't have exact measurements from data plates. I'm ready to pull something...!Thanks
