I've heard different opinions on that. I totally agree with you, but I also can see where the military might have set a conservative redline, fully intending for them to be run right up at redline, and knowing that they would be over-revved. Dunno, but as I understand it, the redline was bumped...
Funny that you mentioned a uhaul box. I made an enclosed trailer to tow behind my M109 by putting a 14ft uhaul box on top of an M353 trailer, and I actually did reuse the loading-ramp! It's awesome. I'm building this motorhome to live/travel in full-time. I'll be hauling a trailer full of dirt...
Yeah, I was only thinking about dropping the middle axle and keeping the frame/box full-length. 395's would easily handle the load and that would be one way to drop a ton of weight. Plus it would make a bunch more room for water/fuel tanks, etc. It's something that I might reconsider somewhere...
Well, except that post #44 was made by the OP, and it sounds like a perfectly reasonable (and related) question to me. I was asking all the same questions when I was researching my project, and I don't see any reason why you couldn't drop the mid-axle to make a LWB bobbed deuce. Would actually...
I'd really like to know how well an M109 pulls 395's. I've got an M109 that I'm turning into a motorhome, and I'll be towing an enclosed trailer. Total combined weight when loaded will probably be somewhere between 22,000-23,000 lbs. I was really tempted to go with 395's, but I was afraid that I...
I'm building pretty much exactly what you're talking about. I've put about 4000 miles on it so far, and all I've done so far is add a muffler. I've been too busy with the motorhome conversion to do much more, but I'm planning to make Mah Deuce a lot more civilized. I just finished singling it...
