Bjorn, In response to your questions. How well do they work? THey work fantastic, I use my winch on a regular basis and could not imagine not having the tensioner and level wind. What's involved in getting the same result when you can't install one? Getting the same results without one requires...

Recovry, Current plan is to drive the M-54 (Squirt) and pull the TK12 with the M-37 (Lil-Squirt) and the M-274 (Baby Squirt). Not knowing what the site has to offer, and having two days to play, makes decisions tough on what toy to use. How bout yourself? I hope we have a real good showing and...

Offroadfabworks, I will keep a sharp eye in the mirror...at 34,000# getting run over by WM would not be a pretty site.........I might get hostile about him scratching up the rear of my trailer.

Wreckerman893, If you depart Temple at roughly10:00 EST, that should put you at I-20 and 285 roughly 11:00. I iwill shoot for hitting I-20 at 285 at roughly 10:45. I will set speed at 40 MPH and assume that ya'll will overtake me. Cruse speed for Squirt is 47 MPH and I will have a trailer...

Beware of Richmond Gear....at least the last couple of years products, they have QC issues.

CHeck out WInchTest.com to get the skinny on electric winches. Worm drives are hard to beat.

Convoy from the West Rod, If you depart Anniston approx. 05:00 CST, I estimate Georgia Six Flages area at approx. 08:00 EST. That is allowing for an average speed of 40 MPH and that will be hard to do in Atlanta traffic, also considering that you will be right in the middle of rush (parking)...

Any updates on the convoy from Anniston, headed East on I-20, we have a group in Marietta that want to join the ride.

In very short, it is a compression ignition engine, like a diesel, BUT it vaporizes the fuel in a piston cup which allows it to operate on fuels that would destroy a diesel. Diesels inject an atomized fuel spray that burns upon injection and not slowly as the Multi does. Unfortunately they are...

If ya'll will determine a time, and plan on running at roughly 45 then Squirt-Truck will join the convoy also, somewhere around I-20 at Six Flags or I-285. We all will burn a lot less fuel at that speed. Dumpster has canceled out, he is sitting for the P.E. that Friday and will be wasted.

Sounds GREAT, Squirt-Truck should be there, may bring Little Green for rides, even Baby Green. Good bet that Dumpster will be there also.

Need some feed-back, I am new to the M-37 family, have a 1951 model that was originally a radio truck. The big generator was changed to the 25 amp before I got it. Question is, how much trouble do ya'll have with these trucks eating ignition coils? I have replaced two in the last 4 months...

RE: DT466 Anothet 2 cents... 6V53 is cool, but serious lack of power, 6v71 would be great. DT-466 turned up and with 2800 RPM kit is an easy swap. Stay mechanical. If the brakes are working properly, they will lock the tires and that is all ANY brake system will do. Note, if you do not go...

Squirt-Truck (M-54-A2) gets 6 MPG at easy crusing, 45 MPH, 5 pushing her at 52-55 MPH, with 24,500# in the bed at cruse she gets 5.5+ with 33.000# in tow (54,160# GCVW) she will do 4.5+ MPG at 45 MPH. She has an LSD-1A that I run at 200+ degrees. I run diesel with 20% waste motor oil.

Cranetruck, you are also comparing an LDS to an LDT engine. Have you looked at the injetors? I believe that the -1 engine used 2 hole injectors like many of the LDT's but smoke and such from the higher fueling rate drove the development to the -1A engine, which has single hole stream injectors...
