1994 volvo m11

That will be a good light weight truck, ck. 5th wheel hi. to be able to fold up stands with/out needing a push or pull?

 

I saw a man run some off those for years and they did OK, surely had some weak points but he always bragged about the mileage. Do not expect any or much more from an ISC just be prepaired to spend money on emission equipment. He still has one if you need a parts truck about 150 miles away.

 

Depends where you're hauling. All highway would probably be ok with what you have. If you're going to be doing anything like they do in BC for logging (adverse loaded pulls, steep downgrades, etc) I'd look to get something built a little heavier. Most log trucks up here are spec'd with heavy steer axles, 3/8" frames, 46k pound rears 4.10 to 4.30 ratios, full air lockups, air suspension, 18 speed and an engine with at least 500HP/1850ft-lbs. A lot of guys on the forum here seem to be dead set against air suspension off road but we've never had a problem with it in the bush.

 

I pulled grain with a m11 for a few years back in the 90's it was set at 410 other than being a bit sluggish in the hills it was ok once going .. With 3.90 gears and turn it up a bit you should be ok PS m11's were bad for oil leaks if I remember correctly

 

That truck will pull just fine. Those trucks ran for years before the bigger motors came along.
