If you try this, do not remove the jumper between C&D while the engine is running, it will have the same effect as turning your battery switch off...
You’ll want the 250 for site work unless exhaust noise is a big issue the 8.3 is much quieter. The 8.3 has a hard time getting rolling in high range with heavy loads on soft ground, run in low range you’re likely to have an operator split the transfercase in half.
Yes, a bunch of fresh a2 rebuilds sold out of Wisconsin back in the day. @tobyS had a nice a2 for sale in northern Indiana. Not sure if he ever sold it?
Thanks to @98G
Now I only need a good set of the short filler racks in green fiberglass that go between the troop seats and the headboard (the tan section in the photo). My current set is junk… Would trade a set of NOS seat bottoms (just the part of the troops seats your butt sits on) for them.
Differential lockers! Now I think I’m with you.
A lot of M809 and M939 series trucks used by the Marines IIRC had Detroit no spins in them. Also, M1500 Oshkosh crash truck. I believe Red Barn Customs sells Detroits, and spools.
I assume you’re talking about what most civilian truckers call a power divider? If so, I’m not very familiar with the older series trucks but don’t think they have one, same as the 8 & 9 series trucks.
There were a bunch of Husky tires surplussed at the end of the GL days. The street tires where South African made NDT’s. If they are not still being auctioned, I’d bet the big surplus dealers still have a bunch lying around…
So far everyone’s getting along and playing nice together. I guess we stopped camping in the woods, so they stopped trying to eat in our campers! Well that and the garbage cans overflowith again…
Also if anyone else needs to know, cell service is decent, and much better than in the past. Also, public Wifi coming out of the office, password posted at the checkin desk.
Are we there yet!
Does anybody know if cell reception has gotten any better (or worse) in the last few years, mainly around the lake? My wife has a few internet meetings tomorrow, trying to figure out if she is going to have to drive back home for them…

Let me drop this here.
The PH520 would have approximately 1/2 the power of my hoist with twin 5x20 cylinders, but I’m only running 2500psi and your bed is 2’ shorter. My overhang from pivot to the rear is 10”...
Worse, as in faster? Check the transmission to transfercase drive shaft. Also check for water and condition of fluid in both, especially the transfercase.
