What I am doing is I have a very cool old hook that is LARGE
that I may want to hang up there. Of corse if I had my truck in hand
I would just measure it myself but 1200 miles seperates us.
If I had known how much fun I was going to have w/ it I might
have...
Mine downshifts hard as well. I am somewhat relieved that "they all do it" after
reading this thread, well, seems like most. So perhaps a filter change is in

I was most concerned for use on-road in the snow, seems like it would be an

Here are some files you can look at and absorb RE Self Recovery, and sometimes w/o a winch...

when I back trailers up my driveway...could work same concept w/ the 5tons...
I will have to look into how to do that mod...
yep your gonna love it...THE SCHOOL! :grd: ...and driving the beasts
is a blast as well. When it is all done i guarantee you, you will say "I AM GLAD I DID THAT".
Do not go fast in 1st gear low range! I think there is a big warning someplace

Here are some more links to files.

This has lists of parts that...
So indeed they do come stock w/ 4- Bolsters ( the long pole deals strapped to the top)
and 4- Stanschions ( I think hanging in the A Frame) there are FOUR Stanschions
in the A frame correct?
Before I hopped in the drivers seat for the first time and old pro told me; "Those brakes will put your head into the windshield, be careful.." ...to wit I have been. Indeed, IMO they are "sensative", but, after you drive it for a while you get the hang
