    block heater

    i personally like the screw in block heaters they are easier to install and there is no need to drain the cooling system to install them . also with a screw in type there is no chance of it popping out like with freeze plug heaters. other than that they do the same thing so it's up to you which...

    Differences in REO gasser winch and M35A2

    it should be spring loaded. the winch is off of a m135 or m211 with that round knob. i have the same winch on my m35a2c .the winch itself is the same .same part number same casting number you just need winch brackets pto and driveshaft for the m35 and you are good to go .

    block heater

    100dollarman i like the looks of those 14.00a on the stock rims looks like they sit with the threads flat on the ground.do they give you a full contact patch on those rims:?:.i kind of like having narrower rims on a mud truck since it uses the side lugs more in the mud and gives you better mpg...

    14.00 on stock rims?

    they will fit i have 15.5s on my stock rims.with a wider tire on the narrow rim you dont have to worry about the rings coming off the problem is if you need to get one off after a flat good luck.the tire locks the ring in big time .i would think 14.00s would go on stock rims alot easier than...
