    Just got home from a 200 mile trip. I pulled a big tex 14L-22 trailer with mine today. (https://www.bigtextrailers.com/14tl-pro-series-tilt-bed-equipment) The trailer weighs 3660lbs. Then the 25kw transmitter I picked up weighed probably another 3K total. There were a number of hills and...

    Another bit of brutal honesty. The 6.2, even with a turbo, is not a powerhouse. But it seems we're picking at topics to discuss. OP, here's some facts to consider: The 700R4 has been used in several CUCVs. It will cost you at least a grand or two. At that price point, expect a "stock"...

    The 700R4 swap is popular. Just understand you'll also need to swap the t-case or switch over to match splines. I've got a 6.2 in mine that I added a civilian 6.5 turbo setup to. I lifted mine and run 37" HMMWV tires. I still wish it had a OD though. But it will manage 60-65mph now. Just...
