    Thanks for all the great encouragement. I have done some research on the VIN and what is actually in it for a lump. It came with a CAT 4306 (I think that number is right, its written down in my truck) and the engine that in in there now is a Cummins 350 big cam. Not sure exactly but of that...

    i thought about the gear ratio situation and it would be easier and cheaper to put some 5tons in the rear to match up the front. I understand there is an airbrake upgrade for them or something along these lines so air could be retained. The transfer case is the big ????? monster trucks run a...

    Thanks for the replies guys. Perhaps I should have asked, What truck is best suited to go play in the mud, run some rocky steep terrain, and drive down to Oregon once in a while to go play at the beach?

    New to the site and new to the interest of BIG trucks

    Hi to everyone here. This is a great site and I have been doing a lot of research and have a few questions that I am sure can be answered by someone.
