I know simp has broken a few (4 I think), but how many of y'all had the rear (or front) spring leafs break? After reading simp's OTR 30k and 60k updates I'm seriously thinking about this possible issue for myself since I'll be looking at 30-40k# full time, not including any trailer weight. If...
Has anyone else ever extended the 934 chassis to the 927 length in the rear? I'm curious where I'd get said extensions, or if I would have to make them myself. CSM Davis and I had discussed this a tad bit when I first got the 927 bed from him, but the inability to tow anything is getting...
Im trying to find what used the door in place and prevent it from hitting the mirror. I found Fig 362 in TM 9-2320-272-24P-2, looks like it's possible that item #27 is the rod in the picture, but it doesn't show anything for the chassis side. If anyone can take a pic of of this area on theirs...
Y'all got yer beer? Ready for a show?!
Yeah I got a little crazy besides being really cheap lol.
I ran out of fuel last yesterday while I was going home. When it finally rolled to a stop I was about a mile from home. Of course I hoofed it and immediately went about planning how I was to...
Ok, first off I'd like say... I really wish there was a separate category just for our camper builds since there are so many and I really don't know where it is supposed to go!! Ok, rant done lol
Now on to the meat and taters! My end goal for my 934A2 is to hold a 20' ISO shipping container on...
This has been easier said, or thought, than done. I started off by running a 3/4-16 die down the threads to make it as easy as I could to remove the nuts. After lots of lube oil and pressure washing I got the threads chased and started to work on removing the nuts. This is where any forward...
Has anyone else ventured into the crazy and water injected their 6CTA yet? I know we have options for turning up the power in the IPs and other places, but I wanted something that would actually cool the intake charge since we don't have an intercooler on these engines. I would love to put one...
Last night I went out for a ride and quickly found myself stuck and stumped. I hit a bump that didn't look rough, but bounced us around like popcorn in the cab. A short distance after that the truck died with no notice. Fuel tank was still full (3/4-7/8), so I figured to see if if there was air...
Does anyone else have issues with their trucks not tripping the EM field for left hand turn lane sensors? Have any of you done anything creative to address this?
I have a bunch of connectors that have the rubber sleeves completely rotted or now missing (I went bowling for trees lol) and at least one that needs the actual connector itself replaced, or for making jumpers for my rear lights to work. Does anyone have any where I can get these? I want OEM...
I'm considering changing some fittings while I replace air lines. Has anyone had any experience with these?

I'm seriously considering build a dedicated frame to mount an ISO container to the truck, but I need to know what the tire travel (14.00s) is above the frame?
I already did the load bearing calculations for frame and would need to use 3x4 (7g) tubing, assuming a load of 6,700lbs. I'm sure I...
Does anyone else have issues with the "Remember Me" function not working? Its really annoying when I get an email about a thread update and use the imbedded link and it won't recognize my device.
Hey guys, thanks to wreckerman893, I believe I have found a truck for me finally. One of his friends in AL has a cab & chassis 934A2 that I'm hoping to pick up when I'm on the east coast area getting my stuff out of storage in MD and AL. Already have the plane tickets for me and my brother ($900...
Hey guys, I'm looking for other fellow SS's that could perhaps help me with getting a new truck. By help I mean, drooling over yours and getting ideas for what I want to do, aside from the plans I already have, as well as any places you know of in the area that either have trucks in stock or can...
Hey guys, since I've decided to buy an old MV I've seen this website come up on the searches quite often and after reading a few of the posts it seems this is a good site to join...so here I am! I've been lookin for an M35 or an M54, preferably a XLWB, if that matters to anyone.
