Might as get this started, so all the related info isn't buried in the less see you trucks thread.. I'll be shifting throw that thread to cross post over here
Due to current ELD mandate of needing electronic logs in the truck by 12/17/17 for vehicles 2000 newer.. and by that time my current mule 07.5 LMM will be pushing 500,000 miles.
Been on the fence for a while either to repower a 90s 3500HD or jump into a full on MD truck.
On 11/7/16 I picked up a 99 fl60 extended cab, with a dt466 engine, Eaton 9sp transmission, 8/15k axles 3.73 gears, HYD brakes, air ride cab, seats and suspension.. 22.5 rims mismatched tires
LP up front and 11r22.5 out back.
Come to find out OEM was a 3116
cat, with a 6sp. One of the previous owners swapped a dt466 in.. including an international dash cluster.... Slid a cuttoff chassis on the truck...the dt466 looks natural in the frame, so I'm Wondering if the PO stuck the cab, hood, bumper, then slid the rear frame over a international frame... WB now is pushing 190".. I think the original is 150-160 range
General end goal is something along the following
Quote:
Mechanically..
ISL9 size engine, completely de emissions, @400/1200- 450/1500 hp/tq with engine retarder
The LMM is ~400/800 at tires so.. ~450/900-950 crank ish extra 3-400tq would definitely run
9/13sp Eaton double OD
air suspension F/R with full manual dump and over inflate capability on both axles
air disc(meritor pan 19, 14.8" disc brakes),
245/70/19.5" H load
9k/17k axles, (lockable diff)
26k/54k gvwr/gcvwr
34-36" top frame height, ( preferred 32" but doubt I'll have enough up travel between bottom of frame and top of axle, it be less than 3" up travel with 10 5/8" common frame size, on rough measurements and 5" axle tube)
170" WB.
100-150 gallons onboard
10 5/8" frame
Body
42" flat top style sleeper, with a proportionately widened/lengthened/raised, pickup truck style cab, keeping the truck under 84" tall preferred less than 78"
Obviously full power windows/locks/seats/mirrors
Heat/cooled seats
Heated mirrors
Keyless entry with remote start
