    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    There are some post on here where people have used scoops on the inlet tubes. I am not sure on the brand but they looked pretty good and are designed to add air flow and still not suck in water..

    Took a measuring tape to the truck today, back of the cab to the axle is 56". Also spring length is 56" on the rear (helpful info for the lift kit later).

    5 Ton HET

    From what it looks like to me is they used the original doors, door hinges and latches. then added there door skin to the outside... they made it pretty simple by making the windows fixed (will not roll down). Even with AC that would drive me nuts. How are you going to order from drive...

    5 Ton HET

    What about this ?? you can get the cab as a kit. http://laststandsurvivalgear.com Admittedly it would look much better with a visor over the windshield like the M1070 has but you might get some ideas on how to build your cab from there website.

    Red Dot AC in the M939

    Nice looking rig. Do you have plans for the space between the cab and 5th wheel? maybe winch setup or sleeper?

    Artisan's M916

    I use this style hose on race cars for fuel line. Another trick that works very well is Boiling Water. Place the end of the hose in a pot of boiling water for 1min. They soften up real nice and slip on easy with no worry of getting them too hot or burning anything.. Super clean install...

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    Sounds like it is getting to a point where an organized response from us is needed and soon.Tell me where to sign. Maybe a Preformatted letter should be written up for us all to send to our state representatives and possibility a Petition as a group to sent wherever need be also?

    Fuel pick up tube

    You can remove the fitting and use a small die grinder removing the first 1-2 threads in that area until the hard line will start again. It does not seal on the threads, It seals on the inverted flair down deep in the fitting. As long as it tightens up good and firm it will work just fine.

    395/85r20 duals???

    I was thinking about this set up. Do you have to run 4 Bridge truck wheels on each rear axle or has anyone tried to run the bridge truck wheels on the inner wheels only? Leaving the outer set as the standard m939A1 and A2 5-ton wheels. This would only slightly increase the total width of...
