Regarding stainless, it always seems like a great fix to corroded fasteners, but I think it is only medium hardness, like a grade 5 equivalent? Also, aren't engine fasteners beyond grade 8, such as grade 10? If me, I would obtain the lengths and head side thread, and then go to a Fastenal...

Thanks all. I agree with everything posted, completely, from top to bottom. I was looking forward to Porky's response since he is from MI and was hoping BobH would chime in too but that's ok. It is interesting to see even the out of stater's still had very reasonable opinions that fit well...

I'm envious and impressed. Nice work. That cab is beautiful. Love the visor. PM a quote to do mine.

I am almost certain this is the wrong section, and apology for that. There is a very large cruise function this week and weekend here in MI called Woodward Dream Cruise. I'm trying to decipher the legality of having passengers in the cargo bed area of my 925 and WildChild467's M35A2 for it...

This is an A/C compressor mount for a Cummins 250 (855) engine, correct?

I hate to pee in the pool, but I may have made just about the opposite choice for a MI winter beater. An old diesel V8 that is tired and hard to start in this summer temp, is going to be very resistant to start in the winter months. You can use a block heater and all that, but that could get...

Mechanical unit. No TCM.

I would lean a lot more toward a big rig system that had them like maybe mentioned above vs an aftermarket deal or F-700 stuff, especially if this truck will be heavy and tow. Undersized disc system can overheat and fade quick, especially if multiple such stops are needed. I'm not telling you...

I don't think road-worthy discs exist for 5T axle?

Win the auction, make the rail arrangements (terminal-terminal is cheapest), then pay a local SS member close to the auction lot to go get the truck, check the fluids, and drive it to the freight terminal. Have local SS friend make a large label of how to start, move, and stop the truck, place...

Rail freight is usually the lowest cost way to ship something heavy more than 250mi. There are terminals everywhere. Try a quote that way too for more options if that is really the one you have to have.

I don't like your avatar.

The longest straight line distance across the country is 2800mi from FL to WA. Would it even be possible to find one further away?

I didn't know you just tightened it. Sorry.

Mine seemed tight to begin with. I loosened the blade fasteners, re-tightened them, and my noise went away. If I was you, I would break them all loose, and re-tighten them all. Maybe even pull the blade off and look closely at it and the mounting area on the hub. Each their own, all I can do...

A quick thank you to the many that have ordered., glad you like them and you could save good coin and get it quick. A few even resold their Red Dot bracket configs, not wanting it due to adding v belt and moving the fan forward. Kits are 1 week lead time out. Not much profit it in for me, my...

Yep. Look into the dual fuel line mod and its results. Fuel button lower # too after you have an EGT gauge. Great sounding engine. Don't use transfer case "LO" and reverse to pull a load.

I thought I read it pulls 15hp at speed when engaged. I'd still loosen and retighten all fan attachment fasteners, just sayin'.

Nice job. I really value feature creativity. How did you do the wire through the hinge area? Or did you go with button type contacts that mate when closed?
