    Default Diesel Power M715 Article

    Just purchased the March edition of Diesel Power and found a sweet Mod. I've attached a few pics just to get you guys to buy a copy cause they don't have the article on the web site.

    Looks a little like what Hammer was doing in 2004 to his mod.

    Good reason to bob the bed!!!


    The radiator was placed in the bed, no room under the HOOD!


    Not much stock but still a great machine! Has UniMog axles w/6.50:1 gears, 1610 drive shafts, 3 winches, 44" tires wrap 20" wheels, 5.9 cummins, gm4L80E trany desguised with TH400 parts, Ford SD NV271 T-case

    For a trail rig, I think its great. I really like the brush/fender guards.

    Hello,

    This is my Truck, and it has an radiator also in the front.
    The engine is moved far back for better weight distributon, so I got enugh room in the front. The rear radiator keeps the engine happy when the front one is full with mud. It also has coils springs, steering is from an Unimog. The truck is never finished, now I am putting in an better hydro winch.

    Nice to see you actually use it

    How's the gearing? almost a little too low or not?

    The gearing is perfect (on the street in my opinion), but the low range in the NV 271 is a little low for off road. I use and abuse my truck .
