I did not unhook the shafts, put transfer and trans in neutral. Tires were checked. After getting it back up to finish the tow, it was going fine, then felt like it wanted to go left bad. We pulled over and everything seemed ok. Got started again and could feel it pull again, pulled over and we could see black marks for one of the left rear duals. I pulled it forward while my cousin watched and nothing was dragging. I watched the rest of the trip and did not see any skid marks, but did feel it pull slightly at times.

The dump works good though! In all honesty I would like to keep it, but with winter and tax season coming along I'm not going to have much time to work on it till next spring. This wouldn't have been a big deal, but there is more work to do than I had originally planned on. Plus I still need to change the trans in the 5-ton this year. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the work I need to do. I am going to try and get some of the stuff taken care of next week, as I will be up there for 8 days for hunting season.

There are some pics here: Flat Tow m342a2?
