    Plowzilla

    thats whats nice about having a winch on the truck. if the pump gives out you can just lift the plow with the winch.or if you break something you just pick the thing up with the winch and head for the garage.

    Deathwobble fixed and back again, help!

    the FIRST thing to do is check the pressure in the tires. then look for a bad tire. my 5 ton did that when i first got it.one tire was 40 lds and the other was 55 lds. put both up to 65 lds and that cured the wobble. good luck
