Got the hitch installed finally... curt 14082 like many others have done. i need to get a lower drop plate for the camper and for my other trailers.

Got it on tonight... holy CRAP what an ordeal. I snapped one drill bit, and the one I bought to replace it wouldn't bite with a pilot hole... NEVER had that one happen before. Then, the way I had it held up shifted, so I drilled one hole off the mark without realizing it. Luckily, it was off...

Well, my wife informed me on the phone that my hitch has finally arrived (of course, when I'm out of town for work :lol: ). I ordered the Curt 14082 like many others have on here, but I had a question and wanted a few opinions... I know it's a black powdercoat on the hitch, and that it's...

Looks like a fun project... I've always wanted to do a 4-53TA Detroit in a CUCV.

FWIW, my FDC has been bypassed the whole time I've owned my truck, and I've run gas, WMO and diesel and have noticed no difference between the three.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Kenworth XM1074 Test Drive It looks like there is a lot of interchangeability with commercial off-the-shelf parts. What's the powerplant in that sucker?

I think it was designed in competition for the HEMTT contract. I could be wrong, though.

Looks REALLY beefy! Nicely done! Now I know how to hang my receiver this week when it gets here. Good idea with the straps. [thumbzup]

I have one and I really enjoy it. It's much easier to do low-speed maneuvering with it, but I would be troubled spending $1800 for it.

Wonder how it does in the deep stuff with another drive axle...

I'd just like to add that said pintle opens and closes properly now :mrgreen:

OD Iron has the complete gasket set for $268 and change: http://www.odiron.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=4_54&products_id=246

You could spend the roughly $75 an do this upgrade. Then, all you would have to do is to replace headlights if they burn out. It may be more to begin with, but it would be less than replacing the sealed beam lights every time one goes out.

The way I understand it, the resistance in the controller is varied by throttle input - when you step on the go-pedal, the resistance is reduced until the motors see full voltage. By setting this device at a constant throttle position, you could get a standard, steady voltage out. At least...

What about using a speed controller from a golf cart? Theoretically speaking, you could use one designed for 24 volts and be able to get anywhere from 0-24 volts out of the controller. With ratings in the hundreds of amps, power supply wouldn't be a problem. The downside is you would have to...

RE: Work on the War Pig continues !!!!!!!!! Looks awesome... where are the wheels from?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a green-iron addict's wet dream.

I took my sticker goop off with a plastic paint scraper and a torch... didn't even burn the paint. :shock:

Ok... here we go.
