Did you get this taken care of?

Those weigh what - 1500lbs each? Pfftttt... Try harder bud. :)

You got an 8.3 in a A0... Nice!

7" was added last night. Walking in the yard was rough on Wednesday - snow was already knee deep then.

Good deal!

What happened to this truck?

Peterson's Hunting has a 25% coupon in most issues.

You can't get the pan off in the truck?

Don't get me wrong, I'm downright giddy with the prospects of getting a MV as my work truck - but the only reason I'm getting it now is because I need to move wood in quantities that my civi truck wouldn't pull. 11 face cord? lol Why not call it what it is in a legal term: 3-2/3 cord. ;) I've...

I'm all about pulling, and not about speed. I'm just also a gearhead to the core and can't leave anything stock. :mrgreen: 14mpg is in line with my Tahoe. I'm gonna have to look into that. lol

I don't have any disposable income. I'm getting a 923/5 because it's a better truck than 4K will buy me in the civilian market.

Yeah, this winter has been nuts. We're getting 40F tomorrow after 45 days with below zero temps this winter. Average temp this time of year should be mid 20's - we've been lucky to see double digits! But that warm spell is short lived - high for Sunday is 2. :cookoo:

I'm just thinking it's easier to drop the pan than to pull the engine. I suppose if you have a capable crane it's not though.

I've gotta give you credit for taking the bull by the horns and trying something instead of conceding defeat before you ever started. On mission critical parts, be sure you have someone competent check your work. Rolling down the freeway's a bad time to discover you didn't have enough heat in...

JD, what's needed to get that much more power out of the 8.3? Also, at what point is the transfer case going to grenade? We already know it can't handle reverse in low range.

Not possible to replace the sleeve, piston, and head? Might be easier than swapping the engines.

At least for the first 4 months or so, mine will be loaded to max for 50% of its miles. Fuel mileage is a bigger concern than getting up to 55mph (which happens to be the speed limit on the roads I'll be using).

You might want to call Allison tomorrow and ask them. I've never heard a bad word spoken about their stuff. I'd think their CS is probably pretty decent too. ;)

I'm not an auto tranny guy, but I don't think you'd have any problems if you had it in neutral or park. It's a diesel - there's no spark plugs. You should be able to run it without an alternator once you get it started.

How does it do loaded to 61,000#? And which rig are you talking about?
