I know this is not really a truck conversion but I have a few ??s about taking the house off of a 25 foot minnie winnie e350 and putting it on a f550 crew cab 4wd chassis. Specifically I need to know what is involved with the cab to overhead connection. Anyone ever done anything like this ?

JMO, put the time and money into a HDT. You're not gonna like that MDT after using it awhile. The DT466 is a good engine, if you dont mind leaking cylinder o'rings and injectors. It will run forever at 210 hp, 300 would be ok, however, the transmission is probably not rated for it. The chassis...

Your meter didnt "blead" anything. The bad connection just made contact after you moved the wiring around. You still have the problem and due to Murphey's laws it will manifest itself again in the rain, at night during a lightning storm, or at the least, when you most need them to work, like a...

I have used that same bead board befor. If it the same composite type I used, if it gets wet it swells and flakes apart. Just dont get it wet :) Nice build, dont see many COEs anymore. I always liked driving them, especially in bad weather as visibility is much better. Not to mention engine...

I'm thinking the MDT is not gonna be to your liking. The DT466 is a good engine, if you dont mind the o-ring cylinder liners that normally go bad. And the Allison is likely a 542, ok but no overdrive or lockup converter. Your likely to spend a lot of money on this, I'd go with a HDT.

Have'nt been here for awhile. Still working on the truck, removed all the exhaust and air wing stuff. Truck has a sleeper. Would like to remove it (cut) and go straight to "box". On that subject, I had planned to build the box but I can buy a nice 26 foot frp box way cheaper. What are the trade...

Zakly. Start close, theres a lot of places to see, Alaska can wait. I've been there 2 times by motorhome. Both times we spent the summer. We loved it, my wife still talks about going back. With grandkids next time. The number one thing on my list for a motorhome in Alaska would be a VERY good...

I generally like to run the posted speed, but its nice to be able to shift up on the easy flats and long down hills and just loaf the engine along and still maintain that speed.. And, theres less gear drag in the 1 to 1 hole so 8th would be the normal highway gear with overdrive reserved for the...

My trans has a .73 final drive ratio. With 4.10 gears and 42 inch tires this gives me about 77 mph at 1850 rpm. The lower gears are mostly worthless for this application. My calculations show that with a 3.50 rear ratio top speed is 90 mph and at 1250 rpm its 61 mph. 3.00 ratio gets me 105 on...

Just signed up, but ive been watching you guyz for awhile now. Have a few ?s. I think I need a 24 foot box for the layout I'm planning. At least 22 foot, I would like to keep it as short as possible. Will have the master bed in the overhead above the cab. Planning to keep the sleeper and install...
