    New guy with questions here!

    that also went into the equation for me. When the time comes it is only 4 tires to replace not 6 and also 1 less set of brakes and one less axle to maintain. don't get me wrong I love the old duce the super single conversion makes them ride nice on dirt road, but when the weather goes down its...

    c-7 is not a perkapillar the c-7 is the smallest engine cat makes all the other smaller engines are re badged motors made by other manufactures by the way the c-7 is overall a much better engine than the 3126. The only down side is on a c-7 you must have a cat e-t computer to reset trim codes...

    Looking for picts or video of FMTVs moving through deep snow : )

    air brakes can be modulated too just like auto brakes the problem becomes air capacity I remember running a 923 out of air descending a long icy road you get a real uneasy feeling when the air pressure warning comes on.

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    you might consider a 6.5 head upgrade than use the 6.5 van turbocharger the hmmwv uses that way you get the improved air flow from the 6.5 heads plus bolt on turbo charging.
