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?

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Further info on the Auto-Lash part numbers for anyone pursueing them: Jacobs Auto-Lash P/N 013369 superceded to 022576 which crosses over to Cummins P/N 3871407 for a 6-piece kit.

The Canadian M809s had a "hood scoop" to clear their jake heads which is probably similar to the little box you're talking about:

This is true but we have a solution to that problem now: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/3-jake-heads-under-a-stock-m809-hood.195031/

Iceman, have you made any progress on your rebuild lately?

There are a few hard core collectors around Twisp and I don't think they're on this forum. The guy I know has had the following: M151, M35A3, V-100, M548, M818, M1123?, and a helicopter. I'm sure he's owned many more than those during his time.

That's a decent deal. Hope I can find something similar when the time comes here in the PNW

Were you running 16s before? Were they a decent price?

Wes, do you (or any other members here) have any experience with the BHT3B turbos? It looks like they're the same as an HT3B but with the map width enhancement groove. Do they have any other advantages?

Thank you Migginsbros! Third time's the charm i guess 😉
