    I’m probably way over thinking this but I’m going to be mounting a 250 pound crane with electric winch. Easiest spot would be drivers side, front corner of the bed right above the batteries. Is the truck already heavier on the left due to the batteries and driver? If I mount it on the drivers...

    1078 Pre Fording Plug Locations

    Would anyone have pictures or a better description of what needs to be plugged on a 1078 prior to driving in high water? Where is the bell housing plug? Does each axle also have a vent that needs to be plugged? Last but not least, while having some transmission work done I was offered the...
