86n96 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 1st post, but i've lurked for a while. this site has been of great help in a pinch a few times, and its appreciated. I currently run a 99 ch, and am buying a 01 vision in a few weeks. The vision has a condo on it, which is coming off in favor of either a 42" bunk, or a day cab kit...depending on how easily I can find a bunk. I have a few questions for whomever feels like answering, any input is appreciated.Are there any speed bumps I may run into removing the sleeper? Besides being huge, it seems pretty straight forward.Are there visor mounts on trucks with the California bunk?Does anyone know of a good place to find Mack 42" bunks? I see a ton of daycab conversions around IL, there has to be bunks laying around.Does anyone know of anywhere that might flash the ECM to 460xt? Does anyone make a chip?Again, any and all help is appreciated.thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32927-sleeper-removal-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 How big is the condo and do you have pictures?

86n96 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 I don't have pics, but it's got to be the biggest offered. Sky rise with storage over the cab and a sunroof.

Keffer inc Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 EBay may have the one you want. Not sure of your location, but of interstate 95 near va / nc line is Jim Redwine salvage. Three macks, one bunk, one mid roof, and the same condo you already have. I recommend you get a bunk and not a day cab conversion. So if your jobs take you down a different road, it doesn't screw you.

86n96 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 i'm actually on a job now that's pretty much convinced me to get a small bunk. i was worried about the added weight, but i'll deal with it. i'm illinois, btw.

Keffer inc Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 In all honesty, my Low boy tractor ch613 I had at my last job, (day cab) was 20,000 pounds. And my current ch613 with mid roof sleeper weighs 16,500. You may still be lighter than other guys with peterbilts.

86n96 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'm right around 16000 with my daycab now. If I stay in that neighborhood, it'd be great.
