What about an M295 with the van body on it? Looks the same length as the M934 box, just doesn't have the slide outs.

The ZF is a good transmission, little high on the pricetag but does give a better overdrive. Going to see how the DT466 likes the .78 overdrive of the spicer 6453 first at 55-60mph. At 60 that puts me at 2300rpm, 55 at 2100. Highway speeds here in Utah are a little bit slower than in Texas...

The stock turbo has the ability to go over 15psi of boost. Out of it's efficiency range but it's capable of getting up there. A 20psi gauge would be great but never seen one, easy to find 30psi gauges.

Since you already have the donor cummins and transmission, hard not to use that upgrade if you don't like the stock gas engine that is in the truck. With you planning to bob the truck the nv4500 will be happy. the 16's are about 53" tall, tallest highway rated tire (55mph) that I'm aware of.

I wonder who did that..... :popcorn: Worked without issue for me for the next 2k miles.

Realize the problem has already been solved, just posting this up for others regarding safety. When you crack open the line it only needs a 2/3rd or less rotation of the line nut, and ALWAYS USE A WRENCH (line wrench is better), provides distance from the pressurized fuel.

Unless you have locking hubs your front axle is always turning (not powered) so the issue must be coming from the tcase. Have you checked to see if it's over filled? Like Jeepsinker mentioned its probably a plugged line in the air system.

Little distraction post of pictures. When I was stationed up here in Utah a few years ago this is what I was dealing with on a daily basis Normal days work on the demolition ranges. Lots of fun out there!! Back to truck stuff. Have a clutch kit and the Spicer 6453 trans from the...

7 year thread revival, impressive :goodjob: By spring of next year I'm hoping to find a S280 for a camper.

Agreed, sitting too long dries out the seals as well. Mine is still sitting for now. Start working at the new Job on Monday so should be performing the engine/transmission swap in 2-3 months!

Stock the deuce came with 9x20"s, pretty old stock. To keep your cost low the 11x20"s fit on the stock rim and work pretty well offroad when you air the tires down. 395"s work great in sand/dirt/rocks and handle the pavement.

When I was looking to get my injectors rebuilt they informed me that only 1 shop locally carried the correct lines/fittings.

Afraid I can't help, other than I found out that it is an oddball thread pitch for injectors.

Don't know if you have installed your MRAP seats yet but as VPed stated, they are much more comfortable. During my trip from Midland Texas/Salt Lake City Utah most of my days of driving were 8-10 hours. No discomfort from the seats, zero back/butt/leg pain. Provides a comfortable reclined stance...

If the winch mount moves you can easily add a strip of angle iron on the outside edge of the bed for more strength.

after the meet and greet yesterday, drivetrain length discovery and cost similarities of completing the deuce or upgrading to a 5 ton I was leaning heavily towards the heavier duty truck. Taking into account that I put 4-5 thousand miles on the deuce last year, and will be driving that much or...

Total length was about 6ft. Problem is that would make the driveshaft from the tcase to the middle axle about a foot long, too short. Other problem is with the transfer case being a driver side drop, for both the front and rear output. The front can be taken care of, but in the rear axles the...

It was also pointed out that for the cost of repairs and other upgrades down the road (power steering, brakes, etc) I could upgrade to a 5 ton

Hmm, problem. The 900 series drive train is way too long to fit under the deuce.
