I bought two of the Greek harnesses when they were available on that large public auction site - still in boxes, as I'm nowhere near the wiring stage yet. But harnesses looked good, and instructions were in the 'kit' - I understand that there are a few wires to trace out & correct the...
My point is that the M101/A1/A2/etc., were not designed to dump, in any literature that I've found - someone please confirm if I'm incorrect here - and the 'pivot points' are for folding the a-frame down or under for transport.
I can weld/bolt a plow to a MINI, but it doesn't make it a suitable...
Has it been confirmed - without a doubt - that the M101A1 was designed to dump?? ALL the info I've ever seen stated that the only reason for the removal of the front bed bolts was to allow for the front a-frame portion to fold under for transporting multiple trailers on rail cars or other flat...
Interco is still making Swampers, Mudders, etc., in a 16.5" size, as is Nankang Tire, Pit Bull tire, and others... tires for 16.5" rims are going to be around for quite awhile longer...
Pit Bull - offers bias and radial tires in 37"-38.5" x 16.5" sizes -...

Nor was there any need to talk smack, Sport.... :D
We're all one community here. I'm not talking out my ass in regards to 6.X issues - I've got tons of time on them, sold hundreds of them, and know the issues well. My point is that the chain works well for 99% of the users - adding gears...
:shock:
6.2 & 6.5 use many of the same drive train parts. DSG & Kennedy are both selling them - probably from same supplier -
I see you're still keepin' it classy in California...
You might read & check around... I ran across an article online a couple weeks back regarding gear drive assemblies used on GM 6.5 motors... the shop citing the article recommended staying with the chain drive due to drivetrain harmonics issues when using geardrives. Whether this is true or BS...
