Those look amazing! They're twice as wide as the originals 😁

I had similar doubts about their water tightness but now I guess I'm partially following the fording setup. The barbs stopped the seeping at the fill plug but the the middle axle pinion is still leaking pretty bad and I replaced that gasket a year and a half ago. Guess I should have used glue...

I got tired of gear oil seeping out of fill plugs and chunks so I replaced the stock air vents on my M813 axles with brass hose barbs, connected them together with 1/4" hose and tee's and ran the hose up to the breather manifold (but not terminated there yet). The rear axle actually puffed out...

May not relate exactly to a medium/heavy duty setup but those same symptoms happened to my '75 Ford F-250 when 1 of the 3 fingers on the pressure plate that the throw out bearing engages broke off.

I've heard of this happening when the system wasn't able to release pressure via the vent line that exhausts through the front rh side glad hand. The issue i heard of had the hard vent line pinched somewhere near the wheel well. That's something to check on...

I actually drove mine for the first time in 4+ months! Checked the fluids and tires, the engine fired off in about 4 twists, and then cruised down to the truck stop for diesel. Almost scared some bicycles off the road when exercising the jakes. The truck got some stares, some salutes, some...

For now I only drive my truck for fun and maybe put on 200 miles in a year. I wear H-161 headsets while I'm driving so that would seal out a lot of noise.

My 11.00-20 NDT gave out in the same area because the flap was rotted and cracked which let the tube below get pinched into the crack and torn. Would leak 25 psi/hr so I got a new tube & new flap and that became my spare.

Here in Washington state unmuffled jake brakes are no bueno but the big rigs don't pay much attention to those kinda rules so that wouldn't be a deal breaker on going straight pipe for me either.

For those that have added a turbo and left it straight piped do you have any regrets about the noise level or is it not too bad? For those that have added a turbo and left a muffler on it do you think it's too quiet? I'm mainly concerned about 809 trucks with the stack beside the windshield...

I like it! A backup camera and a forward looking trip camera would be cool. How would it communicate with analog sensors on the engine or would it need different sensors to function?

Now before you get a McCarthyist twitch in your eye lids at the thought of communist parts on US machines I'm just talking about inanimate rings of rubber and besides, some Finnish howitzers look to wear the same tires. Russia has some knarly terrain and these seem to work well for them. One...

What about the Mack engine from the A1?

That would help a lot since, after looking back, my 1780 has rubber spacers between it and its panel...

When you say "main control box" are you talking about the truck's PCB or the AM-1780?

What is that little grille above the passenger head light? Heater inlet?

Does anyone know of a good heavy duty filter that would eliminate that noise?

I used M38(A1?) taillight covers and dual element bulbs on my intercom console in the back of the cab that gives me 2 levels of brightness to shine red light onto the dash & floor.

Further info on the Auto-Lash part numbers for anyone pursueing them: Jacobs Auto-Lash P/N 013369 superceded to 022576 which crosses over to Cummins P/N 3871407 for a 6-piece kit.
