Hypothetical question....

[Freight_Train]

Ok,Just a hypothetical question But,Can the front end of a 92-97 F350 Dually handle say....1800lbs under the hood?If not stock,what kinda mods would be required?Superduty front suspension?Boxed frame?Double framing?Just wondering.I swear....

did you hit your head tonite?
stock motor weight is 1100 lbs. doesn't matter if it's a f450 or not.
if you want heavier, you will have to adjust accordingly.

Hmm, are you thinking CAT? For the extra weight you'll need stiffer springs for sure, probably new polyurethane TTB bushings, and maybe ball joints if yours ain't too good right now

 

[Freight_Train]

No,No yellow monstrosities in my future.....just thought i would throw out some "Hypothetical" questions.....not that I am planning anything......Just for info.....I swear.....

 

[LCAM-01XA]

right, so those 1800lbs were just a random number you for some odd reason thought of as you were still waking up in the morning?

 

[Freight_Train]

Nah,if it was a specific weight...I would have use 1695Lbs but rounded it up....I mean....never mind....I don't have anything planned......

 

[BigRigTech]

It should handle it stock, it's no different then having an IDI with 8ft plow hanging on the nose.

There are also a few older ones that fit.

1140, 1150, 1160

I my fading memory is right.

 

[94f450sd]

never messed with those.

well he could be thinking duramax but the electronics make it not worth it plus they suck.could be dt 466/530.or a hino engine?

 

[turbo_joe]

maybe a detroit? 6i71 6v71 or 6v92

 

[Freight_Train]

Nope,Like I said,No yellow thing.And a 6V71 is 2200Lbs.....Plus a little big.....Not that I have really looked at a "6V71" or anything.....

 

[turbo_joe]
