Matt295, we built a 2410 United Specialties garage last year for a motocross customer. We used the M2 crew cab chassis with twin screws. The MBE w/ 330HP 1000 torque was perfect with plenty of power. Freightliner raises the cab 5", I believe, to fit the larger radiator. Make sure you get extra height to have a useable bunk over the cab. Our twin screw crew cab with the Mercedes and Auto priced out at just under $75,000. Good Luck!! You will like that set-up.

I take it you must have used the M2112 and not the M2106? Or can you get the M2 106 w/ twin screw?? Doesn't say so in my brochure. The FL brochure is terrible, information wise.

Matt -

You can get the M2-106 w/ twin screw.

As a update on my motor issue, Detroit is working on getting the parts to get my motor to the origional 300 hp that was spec'd, and a simple ecu program update will take me up to 330 hp. I can't wait!! Should be done in the next 2-3 weeks.

Matt, Yes it was an M2-106, the only change was raising the cab 5" to fit the bigger radiator, more space in wheel wells but same engine cowl.

Warpath, you will like the power difference of 1000 lb/ft!!!

Boy Warpath, I can well imagine you being royally p---ed at not getting the power you paid for! At least they're making good on it. As was said, it will be nice having all 330 ponies on call! Have a great one!
