God idea, I will have to try the steering column trick.

Heat rises, so the warmer coolant tries to go up, which pushes the cooler coolant down. Atleast that particular one. I have one in my 7.3, and it takes about an hour, in 10 degree weather, but it actually defrosts the windshield a little it does so well. They do make circulating ones, but...

Good luck with your recovery! I will be in the area (Eaton Rapids) this Friday morning, picking up another cab, if you need anything.

No, never played B-Ball, or any sport for that matter, I was one of those tall uncoordinated skinny guys. I did learn how to chew gum and walk pretty well though.:-)

Joe, Sometimes I wish I could cut my legs off at the knees, but I would look funny hobbling around! But cool in the M818!:-D If you chueffeur me around in that beautiful M818 you got, that would be great!:driver: I'm going to Eaton Rapids this weekend to pick up a extra cab, I think I'm...

Pics Here are two pics. The first is of the pedals after they have been lowered 3", still plenty of travel. The second is how the pedals are lowered from under the cab, you can barely see the 3 notches on the bottom that are original in this pic. I just measured 3" up from the middle notch...

I adjusted the clutch so there was no slop, it is a simple linkage adjustment, but if there was a lot of slop, it would probably run out of travel. The brake also has a linkage, but I didn't need to adjust it, there is still plenty of travel in the brake pedal. I will try to get pics tonight.

Thanks for the comments. I just wanted to add, I lowered the brake and clutch pedal 3", by making another slot in the shafts, what an improvement. I can actually close the door, and get my foot on the clutch pedal now, much more comfortable. Next will be removing some of the padding on the...

Here's a pic of my Folks, and Son in front of Josh's truck. We had a good time!

Just courious. If I decided to get some 53" tires, just to lower my RPM's a bit, what do you think the 11 T831's would be worth? To offset the cost.

OK, I did a search, and can't find anything on modifying the spring seat to get more leg room. I already adjusted the pedals to the lowest point, and will probably be modifying them to add more notches, to get them lower. I have read in various threads, about modifying these seats to move...

Not in the plans yet, I really like the dual rear axles. Unless I can justify extreme improvements, I'll be keeping both.:grin:

Everything went very well, hooked up the M105, and headed through downtown Lansing, then to the expressway. About the only issue, was when it started snowing, I couldn't get the passenger window up all the way, and the snow was blowing inside the cab. Also, being 6'5" tall, it was very...

First EUC submitted 08/30/10, approved 11/01/10 Second EUC submitted 10/11/10, approved 11/01/10 roflrofl:driver:

Just got both my EUC's approved today.:beer: So I will be picking up the M818 and M105 trailer hopefully this Friday! We will have to go cruising.:mrgreen:

Great idea! I may have to do something similar, when I get mine.

Very nice. Hopefully I will be joining the 5 ton ranks soon!aua

Pic. Here's a nice side shot, I hope my truck is half as nice as this one. Beautiful MV:drool: Hope you don't mind Joe, I couldn't resist posting a pic of your truck.:grin:

Congratulations! I'm waiting to get my M818 out of Lansing now.

Nice! Exactly what I want to do, if I ever can pick my truck up. Except I plan on using the new T831's for a while, just can't afford those real big tires.:cry:
