Thanks for the information I'm looking for all the first hand knowledge I can get.

Thanks for the infornation. I also have not driven a 900 truck with all the fluid out of the steering, and hope to never have to. On my truck the play seems to be more than a quarter of a turn maybe my box is worn more. As for the 900 series box I haven't had much experience with it not running...

Thanks for your response thought about the adjustment in post 10 but did not like all the play thats in the steering box when there isn't pressure in it. Would prefer that even if the hydraulics were to blow out that I still have manual control with the steering wheel and the four inch one way...

Thanks for the info. That's cool cause I've already moved the front axle 9 inches forward so remounting the steering box and changing the pitman arm is easy since I have to do that anyway. I have noticed that the box to the m900 series is the hbf64 and the hbf70 seem pretty much the same except...

Thanks for the response.... been looking into a freightliner box a little tricky switching some parts up but if I get it all locked down I will post what parts I used to make it work. I noticed you said the 900 requires modification what modification would it need?

Thanks for the response I will try it while running to see if there is any difference. I was just concerned because I've never had a steering box with that much play even when the engine wasn't running but as this is my first 5 ton I understand there's a learning curve I just don't want to be...

I noticed that the M900 series have a different box do they have the same play that the m800 series have?

Thanks for your reply... Do you have any suggestions for a better steering box?

Thanks for the reply.... I have the fender stripped off so you see it right on the frame there and it's not moving when I turn it. It just seems really loose to me but I haven't driven one yet, I've only been in my buddies but it's not the same as driving it so I don't know if that's just the...

Ooopppss.... me and bad typing it's supposed to be I can turn it a quarter each way.... sorry

Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has driven a M818 would know about how much play is supposed to be in the steering box? Right now I can turn my wheel a quarter each way before it engages the tires to turn. So I was wondering if that is normal or if it's time for a new box? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks I found the engine mounts at a used trucks part place which was cool because they had them for like $50. Would of responded sooner but been kind of crazy. Hope your staying healthy.

Hi, Just was wondering if anybody has the part number or would know the part number to the rear engine mounts for the M915A1? The one with the 400 Cummins in it. Changed my my bell housing over to Cummins 3016637 so now I need the mounts off that truck to make it mount to my frame. I noticed...

Thanks for the quick response I did know they are a Budd pattern and I have checked several threads none mention the exact backspacing.... from the measurements I have gotten about the Maxpro rim is that they're ten inches total which would mean they have a two inch offset and as I have not...

I was wondering if the dual MaxPro wheels are the same measurements as the stock m800 5 ton series wheels? Mainly was wondering if the offset was the same. From what I could measure my wheel itself is about 8 inches and my offset is 3 but because its still mounted on the truck its a little...

Throw pictures this way when you get them on unfortunately my tires are last on the agenda but going the same way plan to annoy my neighbors :)

Thanks for all the very specific details and quick responses.... Looks like I might be able to save my stick after all :)

Thank you for the response and information I wanted first hand knowledge and seeing as my truck isn't running yet I figured someone whose truck was running with a turbo would know.
