The truck pulls a belly dump(total weight 70,000 lbs) at 5280' , and while only topping out at 30 mph, have found no need to use low range, even on steep hills. Took an afternoon to change...

    M.A.N truck parts needed for restoration

    Well, I felt they would be rediculous, but at those prices, a HEMTT at $85k seems reasonable. I don't want one THAT bad.
