I didn't add the specs
2002 T800 12.7 DDC IV 500 HP 13 Speed 3.55 gears (would've preferred 3.70s) 22.5LP tires - all fairly new Espar Engine heater Espar Bunk heater Side exhaust, internal air cleaner 70" sleeper Grey VIT interior Davco heated fuel filter (oddly enough there's no main fuel filter?) 120 gallon tanks 236" or so wheelbase AG200 upgraded to AG400 rear suspension Some gauges - need to add tranny temp, diff temps, and a pyro Projects over the next few days: - Finish DRL install and get RIV inspection done - Remove upper fairing - Change all oils and filters - Adjust wheel stops - Install TPMS - Install oil bypass filter - Headache rack - Full fenders - Replace rear fairing brackets with stainless brackets - Battery/starter/alternator - Full brake job (Centrifuse drums, Platinumshield shoes, Lifeseal brake chambers, Stemco wheel seals, Stemco pro torq wheel end products, wheel bearings/s-cams/bushings will be as needed) - Air compressor - Air dryer - Polish everything up - All shocks - Grease job - Adjust clutch - Adjust steering box (looks like it has to be removed to do this) - Install wheel balancers - Stemco kaiser kingpins - Valve set Trying to keep it reasonable here... |
Further down the road projects:
- Aftermarket exhaust manifold + turbo - PPP engine balancer and damper - Engine rebuild that won't be standard (out of frame with more internal machinework than usual to really tweak efficiency) - APU (diesel or battery not sure) - 244" wheelbase - ~100" sleeper - Custom enclosed headache rack - Nice set of pipes - Custom paint job - Paint the frame |

SS fairing bracket LF4 $44.00 each They even gave me the small screws for the fairings, but not the bolts that go into the sleeper. I'm having a real bitch of a time removing those. Today(thursday the 2nd): - Finished oil change - Finished DRL install and put together dash - Two front shocks - Adjusted steering box (required partial removal) - Dicked around with steering stops, only to realize it's the steering box that sets the limits. It doesn't even come close to the limiters on the axle! - Removed lower two fairing brackets (with some damage) - Finished p/s filter/oil change - Did one rear brake chamber - Both front brake chambers, needs two new slacks (they were different brands anyways) Discovered: - Passenger side step has no provisions for storage - The truck only has 3 batteries |
it nice but steering wheel on the wrong side haha

Scrapping the idea of polishing the wheels myself. It's way too much work even with a polisher. I don't know how you stop it from jumping around on the holes either.
