I could make the weekend of Oct 21 & 22.

Popped a dog bone. Happens to the best of us. Penetrating oil, heat and a pneumatic air chisel will be your best friends. Also most likely the other 7 are in the same shape. Check them all.

Thanks for the replies. Im going to investigate a local truck shop and a large steel supplier to see if they have something available.

Hey Guys, Has any one extended the stock double frame on rear end of their truck? Ive been working on my dump hoist install on the 813. Ive been looking over at some previous builds and would like to extend the original double frame that ends over the rear tandem so that continues to the end...

Im interested in hearing the details on the ISL. Ive heard they are good motors. 400hp and 1200ft is a nice upgrade from the stock CTA. Is your motor a common rail? Any ideas on the wiring and set up on the swap?

From what Ive read, most twin counter sunk manuals are similar size to the allison. I know the allison is a big trans to begin with. I would think the easiet way is to mount up the manual trans to the motor and adjust the transfer case location. Then get some custom drive shafts made with...

Man that is a nice class of license to have available. NYS is awful. There is something similar but its for farm/ag use only. Nothing better than having options!

Who's going to be the first to throw a 10 speed in a 5 ton and document it? I found a cheap roadranger but have way too many projects as it is. One day....

I am not sure of the weight capacity of the front springs, but I would gather it could be calculated with knowing the particular trucks GVW and GVWR. One point I would like to mention is 25k to 30k pounds on a single axle is a lot. I am not sure what on highway tires would be able to handle...

Good luck with the house Chris. I am out for this one. Have the bed off and the back of the truck disassembled for the dump hoist install. Will definitely be at the fall rally

I do not know of any military or surplus junk yards on Long Island or anywhere near by. There are a few truck junk yards that might has something in the back. I suggest the following: D&D Used truck parts in bellport Susquehanna truck parts in lindenhurst Ive been to D&D before. Not a bad...

I will be following this thread. Definitely a project I am interested in. I love my 813 but wouldnt mind a 931 in the future. The automatic kills it for me tho. Hopefully after a few measurements and drive train adjustments, it will be an easy install of a 9 or 10 speed. Good luck! Take...

Great idea. Thank you!

Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone has some experience or tips for registering a trailer bought from govplanet? I have the SF-97 in my name and have the DMV paper work. I feel like the DMV will give me a problem with not having an actual bill of sale since its combined with the title on the...

Looks like a cool event. Its a little far for me or I would be interested. Ill keep an eye out if you have an event in the Northeast.

Glad that it worked out for you. When I brought my 5 ton home, I was naive and paid cash for the Geothels bridge. When i pulled up to the toll, attendant said 78 bucks. I almost fell out of the truck! EZ-pass all the way now....

Hey there HF, Since no one has responded yet, Ill give you my experiences being from NY. First off, it sounds like you are on the right path. One big hurdle to overcome is you have your class A license already. Definitely a plus when it comes to these bigger vehicles. I have the a 813, so I...

Just a word to the wise, if you do go with the genset route, I would make sure you get the numbers of the injection pump. Most of the time, stationary units use different units with different delivery valves and injectors. I am not an expert but have seen all sorts of differences between on...

Not that I want to beat a dead horse, but that block is toast. Even if you drill the crack on the inside, it would be very hard to weld. Plus I feel like the casting for the head bolt is going to crack once you put some torque on the head bolt. One crack and maybe get away with it, but...
