Wow....did you restore it or built it from scratch? Looks really cool behind the Jeep. Nice job! We need more pics though.... Soni

Hammer, the GCWR on the M920 is 152,000# according to the book. Of course this is all "permit country" and depends on the State your hauling in.... Most states it's a permit above 80,000# on 5 axles. Some States let you buy a permit to go up to 108,000# on 5 axles, but then if you go above...

Yeah....915A2 and 915A3 are Freightliners.....A3's have the 6 speed push button Allison tranny! Don't know if they are being sold yet.... Soni

Richard is right, the aerodinamics on those trucks suck....It does not make much difference up to 55MPH, but anything above that makes the MPG drop fast. Also, what lowered the milage on my return trip was the fact that I was at almost 80,000#, had severe head wind, had a load that resembled a...

Richard, You are my HERO! "Skunkworks"! I love that name....Why did I not think of that.....We where looking for a name for my new LLC and could not think of a good oneaua.....and you just "fixed" the problem! Thank You....thank you...thank you....!!!!! Soni Btw....SR71 is my favored...

Well, I don't manufacture them anymore. I sold all the rights and patents to "Prefered Chassis Fabrication", a Company out of Tucson Arizona. Their website is: scorpion4x4@hotmail.com Also....if you are going through a divorce....you might want to wait with the aquisition of a Scorpion...

Ok....the proper GVWR to put in to the SF97 for the M916 would be 56,000#. That number consists of the tractors "curb weight" (truck operating weight like full tank, driver and passenger and so on...) and the max load that can be carried on the trucks fifth wheel. Also, the fifth wheel can...

It's not that....I loved my 7155 tranny! It is just not very reliable.....It is hard to find parts and almost impossible to get fixed anywhere.....thats the problem with it, that I see....It's really to bad....I really liked driving and shifting it.... :-(

Ok...here is a quick overview: -Stock HEMTT wheels are 20"x10"wide / they will accept 395/85-R20s, 14.00R20s and the 16.00R20s / Front needs modifications to the drums to fit / Rear needs longer studs or modified budcaps to be legal / Wheels have the wrong offset to track the same (front is...

Wow....did not realize there where different drums....that's certainly good info to have!! Thanks Soni

Here are a few more pics....after I got home....

Well....I got back to the home base from a 3137 mile roundtrip to Alabama last Friday afternoon. Some of this trip was covered by "Wreckerman" in a nice post and I just wanted to use the opportunity to thank him again for all his help! Anyway....the trip was originally conceived as a 1ton...

I have the original 6.17:1 ring and pinions that came out of my M920 available. PM me if you're interested in a set. For the reason on why you broke the pinion....there is really only one possible reason: Since the tires can totally lock up and not brake the pinion, the angle on the drive shaft...

Actually it would work nice, because the Mk17 does NOT have planetary axles.....It does have a really odd gear ratio though....not sure if you can get that same ratio for the front of the 916.... Soni

I had issues with the lift axle controls on my M920A1 for years.....seems every time I fixed one thing, another part gave me trouble. :deadhorse: I still have a brand new regulator valve, that I can send you if you need it, but I finally just ordered a complete lift axle control pannel from a...

I found that to be true with my ISX 600HP versus the original BC 1 400HP. The electronic ISX 600hp actually gets better fuel milage then the mechanical BC1 400HP...... and I got 200 more horsies to play with!!!! :jumpin: Soni

Sorry NDT.....by calling them a "Coffin Hood" I was not trying to insult the correct term for the contraptions, but instead I was just trying to point out to the guys where you might end up, if you're not real carefull with those things.....[thumbzup] Soni

Sorry, I don't ever check my mailbox, so I just don't set it up....I will have my phone with me all day today.... You can also text me or PM me your number if you like. Thanks Soni

Eldgen, Sorry to hear about your bad day.....I can sort of relate to the radiator deal, since I once drilled a hole in to the core of my freshly restored radiator......trying to install a bridge plate of all things....!!!!! Ok...so I know you have a crane now....(well....that might not...

Thanks, let's talk....call me (505) 787-9961
