Every truck is different, but I wouldnt run mine past 2400. Most likely 2500 is ok but I would put a new harmonic balancer on and want to have the motor checked out to make sure all the necessary studs are properly torqued. When mine was stock, 2100rpm gave me 63 miles an hour. I dont see any...

Yes, to run 2300 and get full fuel while having the truck run like it should you needs gov springs. You can tighten the stock springs, but it wont give you the same effect as a 3k spring kit.

The only thing I want to add into this brainstorming is, you cannot make a standard Cummins 12 valve a NA motor. The standard injection pump are designed to sense boost, so if you take the turbo off, the truck wont run properly and it will be a complete slug and smoke like a train. If you want...

I would say find a used roll off set up and throw it on the truck. Would make it very useful.

Very nice work!

Welcome from downstate NY. It seems that you have a taste of Green Iron already, be careful because its a slippery slope once you get one of your own!

If you have a 350 in the truck already, I wouldnt go to an 8.3. Rebuild the 350 and make some type of screen in the front of the radiator or replace the grill to make it a finer screen material. The 8.3 can make power but you would have to rework all the mounts and move everything around to...

Hey Everyone I spoke with Rausch Creek and found a quiet weekend for the Fall Rally. We will be having the rally Friday 10/25 to Sunday 10/27 at Rausch Creek Off Road Park. Rausch Creek Offroad Park 453 Molleystown Rda Pine Grove,PA 17963 Coordinates: N40° 36.5074' W76° 26.9170' Rausch...

Any manual with the correct bell housing. Guys have put in 8ll, and other Fuller trans. Should be an SAE #2 but dont quote me on that.

Did you ever find a PTO that fits?

Finally got to the pull the trigger and joined the big boy club with a 915a1! What a difference from a 5ton. I love the big cam, she towed the trailer and 923a2 with out struggling. Has any one installed a PTO onto the Allison? Im having a hard time finding a pto for it.

That video brings me chills. I work for a commuter rail road just east of NYC and have seen my fair share of cars trying to beat trains. A little patience would go a long way. We preach a saying about on track safety - expect a train on any track, in any direction, at any time. You just...

I'll also say I would go 395s. Just put 16s on my 923a2 that has a dump hoist on it. Haven't loaded it up yet with my usual 7 yards of crushed concrete or fill but with about 2000lbs in the bed and a S280 in tow, she's running hot in 5th and down to 3rd up hills. I have the fuel turned up and...

Hey Goeff, its Luke and Richie from GD in NY. Good to see the armor heading to events. I (Luke) have moved onto other iron and have fun with a 923a2.

More to come. It's very slow to upload from my phone

It was nice to meet you John! We had a great weekend and only 1 minor field repair. The ride to Rausch from the Gap is easy. The ride home sucked. Just over 6 hours. Cross Bronx was at a stand still. I’ll take a look at my calendar and see if I can make it to Gilbert. I will post pictures...

We had a great turn out and a beautiful day for wheelin! I was very happy to see everyone and had a great time! Thats what rallies like this is all about. Will post pictures soon.

I would set a goal and then you research how to accomplish the goal. These trucks are aftercooled, so after adding some fuel, they will get hot. First upgrade I recommend is installing gauges. EGT/Pyro gauge and boost pressure. Fuel pressure wouldnt hurt either if you plan on bigger...

Just removed 4 runflats from 1600s. Not fun. Took me 3 hours to get them out. Ended up chaining the tire to the front forks of a telehandler and then using another 4wd forklift to pull it out. They put up a fight. One thing I will say. When hooking up to the runflat, have the strap or chain...
