And just as a comparison, my Mack CH13 with end dump scaling out at 85-90k will hit 60 before my stock NHC 250 M923 will empty. My 8.3 truck is a rocket though!

That's not far off. Only 5 gears, no turbo. How old is the diesel? Maybe a little low on power but don't throw money at the problem. Clean the system and adjust. Install an EGT gauge. It's likely just out of adjustment. These are very simple engines. Get that dialed in and turn the power...
Sounds normal to me. Run it hard and have fun. No reason to rip it apart unless you want to for the fun of it.

Simple answer is do the research in your own state. At the end of the day it's your A$$ on the line so error on the side of caution and don't ruin it for everyone else! Now lock this before it gets any more personal!

The key item in the quote below is "class or type". A motor home isn't a "class" of vehicle that is traditionally designed or used as a commercial vehicle. An ex military cargo, tractor or dump truck could be used as a commercial vehicle (size, capacity and design are very similar to...
Those appear to be a ball joint. I wonder what application they are from, probably way cheaper if we were able to find out. Then they could be purchased at the auto parts store

What he said, safer for engine too. Injectors or other work may be needed but this will get you back on the road for now.

5 ton air lockers???
It seems the ARB deuce lockers are around 1k. I've found take out Detroit's for $350 to $450 so I'd pay double for a selectable locker. Or if someone wants to point me in the direction of a factor air locking front axle...

For the record, if they came in at $700 per axle or less I'd be in for 3. At 1k each, I'd be up for 1 for the front and throw detroits in the rears. At over 1k, I'm out. I'll wait patiently now. [emoji51]

Great to hear!! Now hopefully the price is reasonable, I would have loved the locking front hubs from another vendor but the price was a little steep for this guy.

Both are cummins engines. One is old (50's) but proven technology, the other is newer (80's) and also proven technology. Both are good engines so make your choice based on overall truck condition, not just what engine it has.

To get through Canada, you barge it from Seattle to your port of choice in Alaska and drive from there. Barge is cheaper than driving once you factor in fuel and potential issues.

Based on the issues your having and this question, I'm going to say it's probably best for you to get it towed home. Then you'll have time to have it fixed or fix it yourself as well as learn about the proper maintenance and operation of your new rig.
