Sooo, I'm starting over. I have my Mercedes 1224AF up for sale and just purchased a 2022 Transit, WB 178", that already has a 16' box on it. It has 25K miles, and has the 3.5 twin turbo motor making 310HP & 400Ftlbs. I'm going to be dealing with mountains, so the torque was important to me...

Bought another truck to do a build with. $40K for this one. Be a great rig when built.

Wow, everything from scratch!

Manual in English! Took awhile to get this.

And here we go!

Bump, I have not recieved any trade offers that work for me so far. But did find something I'm interested in, shoot me an offer!

1995 Mercedes 1224AF Doka/Crew Cab 57,000 miles. Located in central Ohio. This is a bit of a unicorn rig, as it has the very rare front locker, and the cost of servicing, tuning, importing is done! OM366LA Turbocharged engine/ automatic Allison transmission I purchased this rig through Martin...

Long time, no post! Had some issues (life happens) and I just posted my rig for sale/trade. (It went under old name of Paladin1, and it didn't resister with me at the time) My goals are the same, but I need a finished or near finished rig. Don't really have the time/space to finish this one.

Great advice from Neil and Iain. I can only echo the brake parts shout out, I've been waiting since June 1st for repair parts for my air brakes. I'm going to rebuild the entire system. And build up a stash of spares that can be sent to me, just like Lain has done.

Congrats!, let the adventures begin!

Glad it was a relatively easy fix. And certainly encouragement to be well stock with spares.

I did get some good news, got a notification from a vendor I was talking to and the uber rare OM366LA workshop manual in English popped up for sale. Snagged it immediately. I would be happy to share any info, copy and send pages to anyone in need.

And Happy B-Day Neil!

I spoke too soon, SpareTo replied and said they do not have the brake cylinders/repair kits. And did not know when they would. Other Euro suppliers show it's not available. I reached out to a N. America WABCO distributor, since the part is not sold in N.A., it does not even come up in their...

I have a '95 OM366LA engine and the stock Bosch alternator was 80amps. I went ahead and installed it, but I know you can get them rebuilt, re-wound for more output. I don't want to bash anyone, but I'll share that Hans from Unimogcanada quoted me $2600 EACH for my brake spring cylinders, and I...

Wow, so sorry to hear. I'm shocked a motor mount broke. I presume it's metal fatigue?

Well, not much of an update. I have the new super single wheels in. But had a huge hassle with the tires, I paid for liftgate delivery and basically FedEx refused at the point of delivery. Wanted me to pull the 5 tires off the truck myself, all 900lbs of them. I refused. So still working on...

So very cool! Thanks you for sharing your adventures with us!

Thanks. I wish some of us were closer in location, it would be great to be able to support each other more. These are huge projects.
