    Military camper platform, which to build

    I have a DT466 sitting in my garage that will be going into the truck. Getting a couple upgrades, nothing crazy and will be a good bump in fuel economy as well. Plus the price tag of the 915-920 series is more than I'm willing to spend right now. I'd love to have a HET, swap out the trans for a...

    Military camper platform, which to build

    I remember the Hi-Low trailers and the Trail Manors. For the places we explore Vped it works great. Lots of desert terrain. I'm picking up a m51 that I'll be using for this setup. With the wrecker around I can easily change setups before a trip. So turning the m51 into a tractor with a m313 or...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Ordered a few things for the wrecker. Better air filter, seat shock, and a 12V converter.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Need to go higher pressure when you test the cooling system. If you go 5 psi over what the radiator cap is designed for the leaks will show up without damaging the system.

    Ultimate 5 ton tractor

    Reasons for compound turbos is for extra power and for the power to be at the correct rpm. Each model turbo has a certain range where it works best. Usually a stock turbo is chosen because it reaches maximum efficiency at the designed engine rpm for operational use, lets say 2000-2400rpm (just...

    None off the top of my head but it wouldn't be that complicated to set up. Being for a towrig your turbos won't be a huge size difference. Will need to get turbo maps for the turbos you are interested in on a similar or same sized engine.

    Military camper platform, which to build

    The military truck will be used to pull the rock crawler. The m818,931,820, or 934 will do some offroad driving but nothing crazy.

    Military camper platform, which to build

    Cost of the 915-920 is prohibitive for this build.

    The compound turbo setup would provide you with boost at lower rpm's, providing more torque down low when your cruising without sending the EGT's through the roof.

    Military camper platform, which to build

    Having a very hard time deciding what camper/toy hauler setup to build and would like yalls opinions on this. Main goals for the camper are the ability to explore to remote locations, specifically in the western US. A highway cruising speed of 55-60mph, sleeping for up to 4, normally 1-2, and...

    Ultimate 5 ton tractor

    Between the Spicer 6453 trans and the T1138 tcase you will have a .56 overdrive ratio, giving you a low rpm at 60-65mph with either 11" s or 395's, right around 1800. Depending on your power requirements you might want to consider a compound turbo setup

    A2 motor upgrade option questions

    Sadly my employer closed down last summer. I'm working on tractor/trailers, dump trucks, and construction equipment right now.

    A2 motor upgrade option questions

    At what rpm range are the EGT's spiking and what's your boost pressure? I'd add an intercooler before plumbing in water/methanol injection.

    A2 motor upgrade option questions

    Since yours is an a2, build the 8.3 unless you are hauling cargo most of the time.
