2002 9200i 72"dbl bunk, N14+ 400hp/1450tq, Super10, 1,120.000mi has been an OO truck since 2004, has had lots done to it. rebuilt motor, trans, clutch, A-2-A, fuel pump, oil pump, compressor, turbo, injectors, cam follower gaskets, I just ran the overhead, good brakes and drums, new drivers seat,new AC compressor, dryer, evaporator, etc..Owner also threw in the 1500Watt Coleman inverter and the fridge........ Needs a front wheel seal, alignment, tires are coming up but they'll do for a while more. Need to change out the 5th wheel to a slider, add a bypass filter which I'll either build myself (GC style) or get a spinner, a propane injection unit and building my own hybrid elec/propane APU.

7mouths2feed Thanks this. -
Sounds great. You should be very comfortable. I had thought your truck was much older. You must have gotten a heck of a deal too. I have the Super 10 as well. I like it a lot. -
The Super-10 is ok but I'd rather have a 13 or 18.PharmPhail Thanks this. -

I have very long drive way!!!!!! Actually I hauled some excavation equipment for a friend. I may be overly cautious but I'm actually trying to forego the truckstop wrenching you know and love so well.
hahahahahah

Nothin' wrong with practicing in the driveway, that's about all I'm doing these days...
Just noticed your new icon MM... Hmmmm... -
Picked up the truck and doing the shake out runs bobtail. Mechanically sees great over all just a couple of minor things:
Drivers door lock doesn't work with the key, same for passenger side box lock. Was thinking of replacing or re keying all the locks anyway. this just means sooner.
CB doesn't work, but didn't/don't care going to be replaced anyway.
Radio stinks or speakers need replacing not a big deal if the wiring is ok, just a couple hours of work. Kind of a crappy radio anyway.
Temperature control does not workmight be a bigger deal, guess tomorrow will be digging behind the dash. Guess it explains why the screws were out/missing on some of the dash panels. Feels like it is a cable so may have a kink or just be corroded. My least favorite kind of work is in the dash.
Spent 6 hours cleaning trying to get rid of cigarette smell. 4 months as a nonsmoker and it has become a very repulsive smell. 5 gallons of Febreeze should get rid of it. need to find and replace the cabin air filter.
Overall not a bad list, the electronics were expected, the others in reality minor stuff. Always miss something when getting a vehicle that is 5 years old.The Challenger Thanks this.
