    My plan is to be there if the weather is good....since I don't have a tractor to pull the big show van with I'll be hauling trade goods with the Dodge Dually and gooseneck. The Dixie Division is also hosting the MVPA convention in Huntsville, AL this summer.

    M936 wrecker bed

    The trailer idea is a good one.....you could prob power it with a small diesel engine running the main pump. I would add some hydrolic outriggers on all four corners to make it stable. You would need to keep the brake system on the deuce frame trailer working since that much weight would...

    excessive black smoke and started to overheat

    If the tip popped off an injector you may have raw fuel (verses atomized fuel) spraying into the cylinder....that would cause black smoke and excessive heat. Just my WAG.
