It's a shame you want to fly, when all you have to do is make it to either my place or Adams, and the rest of the way you can listen to EMD AND FERRO show, on the road.........
And Phil can come tooooooooooo
Looking good. I would say that it looks more like a M817(dump) then the cargo series of 5 tons. The dump has two small square fuel tanks, while the cargos have a big rectangular tank.
The grill, hood and cab look wonderful........
I-75 and I40 though the gorge is the way to go. I 26 over martins gap can be hairy. The TN side is steep and curvy, but the NC side is a long straight shot down the mountain, and you can lose it very quickly.
I hooked mine to the rear winch of M936. Tied the trailer to a nice sized oak tree, put a little pull on the lunette, banged the hitch 3 times, and the lunette jumped out!
The cooling system is so large in comparison to the engine, the thermostat will cycle, even with a 180º. Get a laser temp gun, and check the temp at the top and bottom. You should see at least a 30º change in temp.
All I know is that my M814, loaded to 32k on the tires, will walk away from deuces going up hills. Fast? **** no. But I will climb in that beast, and go to the left coast with out a thought.
