WOW your truck is really coming together nicely! Good job! [thumbzup]
I'm also interested in your experiences with that manual winch...I'm looking to add one to my M920 spare tire mount, dragging around a chain hoist is a bit of a pain.
I can't thank members Lindsey97 & 98G enough for all of their recent & ongoing help for me.
Lindsey97 has been picking up & storing items from OKC GL warehouse for past several months; he promptly answers all texts, emails, PMs, is very quick to pick up items, and stores everything safe &...

Most of these trucks won't ever see 100K miles in their lifetimes either; very few are run hard as yours are, Bandit02. It is fascinating to hear of your M931's use, I know there are others out there who run their 5-tons hard, but most of us don't. And from the experience of swapping engines...
