M934 or M920 camper

[RPMRPM]

I’m split between getting a M934A1 and putting engine brakes on it (I know I don’t need them but they sound so damn awesome) or getting a M920 and building a camper for it, do they have trucks with a longer wheel base on the M920 series other than the M911 since that’s to wide to drive on the road, also if I turn the fuel up on either one of them how do the transmissions hold up to a power increase also could you swap the drop axle on the M920 to a actual drive axle or is that not really doable

Also any of you with a M920 what is your opinion of the 18 speed air shift in general

The cat 7155 is reliable if it's maintained. I put a few hundred thousand miles on one. As has @ponway . Or spend the 5k and put a double OD 13 spd in it

920s aren't as long as 934s but they are faster and in my opinion more reliable with a load on it.

You can also stretch a 920 if you wanted to. 920 has a 211in wheel base stock. This is a 359in base.

What is the top speed on the 920? And do they have over sized tires for it to get a higher top end if needed for highway speed? Also do you know if the 7155 will hold up to a repower up to 500-600 or will not last and lengthening the frame is a great idea thanks.

It's a triple countershaft transmission its pretty strong internally. The springs is the front clutch need to be swapped for stronger ones to handle alot of power. You aren't going to get more than 525 from a big cam before it becomes not reliable...

The transmission uses air to hold the clutches engaged the springs can't hold a lot of power before they weaken.

Top speed is 58mph with 11r24 tires which are 46in tall. You can put 1600s on it and it increases speed into the mid 70s.

An RTOO-14613 swap tops it out around 94mph.

The honey badger Cruises at 65 with 16.00r20’s. Can do 70.

Built from m916, could have definitely used the extra length of m920

Here is a link to what I did. Food for thought. Truck likes 60 mph.

VPed's "Stretch" M927

I purchased this 5 ton at a scrap yard near my home many years ago. It was in fantastic shape, had low miles and was decently priced. it is data plated as an M934 and has the air intake snorkel for that model. However, it has a 20 ft. dropside bed installed prior to GL auction. The bumper...

Will do thanks

If you're planning on going offroad, I would recommend against the M934. The wheelbase is a bit...dramatic....

Yeah I’ll probably do some off-road/overland cruising/camping so I’ll go with an M9 20. Thanks for the info.
