    Awesome FMTV snow moving machine

    I keep thinking about a plow for my truck but the snow I have to go through would crush a pickup plow. my snow is all wind blown I would need a commercial plow or a drift cutter would be better yet. maybe a reversacast plow will come up for sale on the west coast and I will jump on it.

    Detroit Diesel

    y]the number 1 fuel in the oil problem is the cross over copper tubes between the fuel injectors they get brittle and crack they should be changed every time you pull an injector or run the overhead.

    How does the m1078 4x4 work?

    the 30 / 70 split between front and rear is relative to weight in the rear if the rear axle is loaded heavyer than the front power will flow to the front first I have experienced this several times on the ice.

    CUCV in Alaska

    lockers and limited slip differentials are a 2 edged sward you can get increased forward traction with them, but they can also make driving on ice unpredictable especially the govlock, the best solution is a selectable locker like the arb . Chains on the rear are a good idea, I have at times on...

    t don't think you want the 2wd automatic tunnel cover they are usually smaller and wont clear the transfer case you could use a 2 wd manual cover but you would still have a hole to deal with
