    M52A2 and M127 with XM10 Water Distributor Module

    My 52 and 127 do the same thing. The fifth wheel is 56 inches on level ground. And for the 127 to sit level it would have to be 50 inches. My 197 dolly is 50 inches and the trailor sits level with it.

    Arctic Heater Kits

    ssjsned. I think the newer dual tstat thermo housing is what you'll need. The hose comes off tward the rear and higher to clear the serp belt. But i think you are prolly going to have a problem with it hitting the orignal air filter housing.

    Power difference after FDC bypass

    The FDC's main job is to keep power output the same no matter what fuel you are burning. With gas it should increase the rate. Witch should keep the power output very close so as the driver/operator doesen't notice a thing in performance. But on gas mine trucks milage drops like mad! I tried gas...

    Turbos power question

    A turbo's #1 job is fuel efficiency. A boost in power output is a side effect. Witch is the feature most people focus on. "clean air" was just a slogan because the trucks didn't smoke as bad. Bjorn posted some charge air temps in a prevous thread that suprised me. He showed the water cooled...

Turbos this small have to be in balence with in just a few milligrams. IF not they destroy the shaft...
