    Yes, run it in low range. If you don't have lock out hubs, pull one of the caps off so you don't get all bound up. If that is a worry.

    I ran one in hi range and was on the clutch all the time. Engine started to get hot as well. Now I run them all in low range. Rpm's up and no heat issues. As Gunny said, get the right gear and spacing between the vehicle in front and you won't have to do anything but steer, smile and wave.

    I am running the Gasser M35 in one this weekend. Need to make sure my air horn is working good so I can watch people jump. That never gets old.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    6.2 powered M715, 5 M1009's, M416, 2 M101's, 2 M105's, 3 M35's, M1007 6.5 turbo Suburban project called Cowdog.

    Yes. I am up for one. Just give me a call with the details. I am headed up to Norfolk, today for Doc V's retirement, but will be back on Saturday.
