Nice job! |
First off.............take off the dual rear wheels ASAP otherwise it won't tow very good. LOL
Just kidding! :D |
LOL! Better yet add a couple more axles all DRW!
Sweet conversion to a hauler! Looks great. Perfect motivation for the OP. |

here's your scoop >
5.9 Cummins 190hp -Bosch mechanical fuel pump Eaton 5106 6 speed stick 4.56 gears 237" wheelbase no mention of shipping weight, so hit a CAT scale at a truck stop the good news is we can get over 300hp out of this setup easily, done dozens of them |
WB probably around 185-190" hub to hub. ~Guessing empty weight of "chassis only", after you shorten around 9000 lbs. or less.
Agree on the 5th wheel placement's stated above. Nice work Osage !! :drink: |

Waybomb this motor looks to be the 2nd Gen 12V Cummins. If it is you need to deal with the "Killer Dowel Pin". There is a very simple fix for it but if you don't do it bad things can happen to your engine. Go to www.cumminsforum.com and search the 1st Gen forums. Those guys know about it and there will be pics to show you where it is on the engine and how to fix it.

Thanks for that heads up. Looks like one of the first things to take care of.
"It can happen at 10,675 miles, it can happen at 267,493 miles it can happen at 678,876 miles... It can happen today, it could've happened yesterday, it could happen 10 years from now, it may never happen... See my point?" You're playing Russian Roulette if you let it go... |
