    winch cable issue

    It took a 20t press to pop the brass star out of the end for the 819, when i reassembled the end, i used anti-seize on everything ( threads, cable end and star).

    5th wheel treatment?

    Who has a BIG automatic for sale?

    i think the 900 series has the front drive shaft going up the right side of the trans. i could be wrong, it wont be the first time, just ask my X wife. if it goes up the right side, it might no clear the 900 auto as your front axle takes the front drive shaft on the left

    Who has a BIG automatic for sale?
