My M275 is NA and pulls like a big dog except on hills where it falls flat on it's face.
Turbo will not affect performance as much as you think.
Bypassing the FDC, turning up the fuel (install a pyro) and putting 1100x20's will help a great deal.
More important is who are you towing for?
If you are doing this as a commercial venture you better have commercial tow insurance......one accident and a pit bull trial lawyer and you are done.
Just a friendly warning.......your milage may vary.
Short of finding a deuce that is being parted out you can use m105 springs and order the stock hangers from Memphis or one of the other usual suspects.
Memphis is proud of their stuff but usually has what you need.
There may be a MV boneyard on your route that someone knows about.
I couldn't have said it better myself......no I really couldn't have.roflrofl

Why not call it a "tilt' trailer instead of a dump?
I can see where tilting can make loading/unloading something like a lawn mower or 4 -wheeler easier.
You don't need long ramps and things aren't as likely to bottom out.

Because they can...and do. This is the gooberment we are talking about....the one that is 14 trillion dollars in debt from this type of fraud, waste and abuse.:roll::roll::roll:
Carnac....I have one mounted on a bolster trailer (chained down not perm) that I will get rid of as soon as I get the load of metal off it.
It is cosmetically challenged but solid.
I'll take 500 bucks or interesting trade....haggling welcome and encouraged.
I have a cab tub with doors.....I can easily pick it up with my little Chinese diesel tractor loader....I estimate it to weigh around 600 pounds. (it is for sale by the way).
I went to a GL site in TN to pick up a Bolster Trailer......the building the GL office was in was guarded by a "Dragon Wagon". I think it was just the tractor. Very impressive beast but not very practical to drive around. One of the military guys at the place said they had attemted to get it...
The heating and AC systems in the one I had were old and non-operational.
They are heavy too.......the load banks were there to test generators.....I'm not sure if there was a genny built into them or not.....mine had a fuel tank that I assume was there to power the diesel fired heaters...
What is Ohio's policy on titling an older vehicle?
In Alabama if it is older than 1976 you can get it registered (not titled) with a Bill of Sale.
