I switched my truck to 17" civilian GT Cepek rims, and it was then with great pleasure that I surplused the run flat compressor that came in the 57K2067 tool kit.
Both of my 6.5T/4 trucks can cruise pretty comfortably around 65 MPH @ 2200-300 RPM on level roads.
Luckily the climb over the pass to get out of town is a 50 MPH zone so I don't need to push the engine too hard on the 6.5 miles of 7% grade.
I do feel like an old grandma sometimes on I-70 in...
Hi SoCalMarine
There should be a 12 volt output on your 200 amp Niehoff. That's the best place to grab 12v power. (Although not sure what you intend when you say "powering reverse shift on shifter.)
And I left that ground in place when I switched my 400A to 200A also, it proved useful later...
My M1165A1 clocked in at 7340 and I imagine your two piece rims and inserts (vs my one piece steel rim and 17" tire), brush guard and flying nun roof account for the 600 pound difference in weight.
The seats fold up and it makes a decent cargo carrier. But the backs of the troop seats are not too strong so make sure the load is secured to the bed.
My regular exhaust does a pretty good job of marking the bay floor and my Tahoe . . . I really need to hook up some kind of exhaust hose to remove the fumes outside the garage when I start.
A bittersweet passage earlier today. 45 miles across the mountain roads then 70 miles back on the highway for what will be the last off-road trip of the year. Snow is already piling up at the 9,000 foot mark. But beautiful weather today and a really nice trip for a Wednesday.
Just wanted to say I love my 1152A1 - I find it extremely useful as a longer bed pickup than my 1165A1. I use it to move a lot of stuff including my snowmobile in winter. My only criticism is the front seat is a little cramped for a tall guy like me.
I hope you will enjoy your own as much!
