Bandit's M931 Repower thread

Cool. What color are you going to paint it? OD green?

I doubt I'll paint it haha. Nobody will see it underneath.

Oh c'mon.. You might as well since it's out. If nothing else it's an extra layer of protection against corrosion. Just need a couple rattle cans of primer and engine paint and you're good to go

Looking forward to seeing how well the front driveshaft clears your Fuller transmission. It looks a good bit "shallower" than the Allison, so maybe the shaft can pass under it.

Hope everything continues to go well.

Well thanks.

It's a slow process. There's a lot of money to spend here. A clutch...$1000, air conpressor that's missing...$1200 with everything it needs, power steering pump, alternator, new 39MT starter... It all adds up. Once the trans is bolted to the engine I will remove the engine stand and support the back on the trans with blocks so I can roll over the bottom end. Time & $$$. Then I have to pull the old engine, drill holes for mounts etc etc.

It'll be a big project mixing in my family duties. One day it'll be done. Thanks for the patience.

I have those starters in stock for cheap, just sayin'....

Sweet! In 24v? Have you seen what our dollar trades at? Haha it'll bankrupt me

 

[74M35A2]

Yes, in 24v. I am in MI, so doesn't matter what our $ trades at. Price is in recent classifieds, I think it breaks rules if I post it here. It is 20% of your stated clutch cost. Killer deal. I can swap out the pinion gear to fit your engine.

 

[Bandit02]

It does matter as I live in Canada and our dollar trades at around $1.4ish for every $1 US at the moment. Is it a 11 tooth anvil on the starter? Might just bolt up and work

 

[JohnnyBM931A2]

Well based on what he said, looks like it would be $280 Canadian (20% of $1000 is $200, then multiply that by 1.4 exchange rate.) That's not too bad for a heavy duty truck starter.

I'd double the warranty for our friends in Canada as a friendly gesture. But, shipping will be a lot more expensive, and then there is import duty, tax, etc.... It would probably just be best to grab a used one from a truck parts supplier in Canada. I'm not out to rip people off, I'm trying to upgrade technology and reliability on everybody's rides by decades. Less weight, less current draw, works at -40C/F, and no speed loss on when heated.

Absolutely my friend. They are a lot better then the ol 44 MT's. When I get to the point of buying one I'll research the price on everybody's parts and go from there
