Who isint converting what? I might have missed something....... :grin: Daves truck is converted and working. Did the 109 to tractor conversion stall? Bummer.......:-(

It is a holmes 600 telescopic. I am hoping to go look at it this weekend to see how viable it is.

Ok, I found it... Stretch tractor: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-mods-hot-rodding/61650-xm818a2w-w.html

Doing my part of searching before I start a new thread on the topic. I also am considering the M35A2 as a Holmes platform. How is this project going?

I think someone here has a stretch tractor, look thru posts by DaveP. It looks really neat. If I can find links I'll post them, I was wondering how far the wrecker conversion made it? Anyone?

SOOOO, Same thing next year?!?!:)

Great show! Did you guys see that awesome Civvy dually? Man that thing ate up the mud! I made it home by the way........ Good thing nobody got any pictures! Nice to meet a lot of you for the first time in person! Got to go mudding with Lief as I didnt bring a MV......... :)

Ok, Demanding that it not rain was a little vague.... :-D Still a lot of fun! Now we know who the fair weather campers are!

I, the Great Googilian, plan to be there Friday afternoon, see to it that there is none of this "rain" you speak of. I will be displeased with its presence. :) What is a little rain? We survived a week of that at the Fall Ride!

Could you get the rental car insured, then you just need a chain and a sawzall. you can "Tow" the rental home! LOL No, You could just find a loading dock and drive the car in. Lots of places have them and they are usually interested to see what kind of cracked nut you are when you ask to...

Yep, thats why I put up that post about the weird compound switch. Also, Perko makes the switch, Now I'd have to verify that idea would work. Otherwise, a switch on the 24v starter feed would stop the starter in the event of a run on and would slow down an unauthorized start/theft. A ground...

I think in order to kill the truck with one switch you would need some sort of compound switch installed between the batteries to isolate the 12v feed from the front battery to the truck and also the rear battery from the front battery. When "on" they would all be connected and when "off" they...

A solargizer would try to keep the batteries charged while the drain persisted.

There is always the junkyard option. $150 for a shiny new one doesn't seem toooooo bad. Rock Auto (rockauto.com) has them for $101 + you ship it. Somebody here might have one in the classified too. Andrew

Alternators The hard parts are available thru carquest or auto zone ect. The internals are mounted and wired so as to isolate them. I had to learn this the hard way, :razz: meaning I cracked it open and went looking for the individual parts and didnt tell them what they were in. AndrewH

Dave, I thought you said you were going to put in that little 52,000 HP rice eating four cylinder turbo n.o.s.fueled monster you had build for this truck?!?! :p AH

I will bring my abundant thirst for knowledge. You all need to bring the information! I'll possibly have 6.2 l parts. 6.5l parts too but not many of the 6.5.
