Thanks John,
I find myself snooping around on here almost every day. You guys are doing a great job and I think it's the best resource out there.
I'm realizing these COE's and 515 Holmes Wreckers are far and few between for replacement parts. You know how it goes, I'll
probably end up with a couple more trucks in the process.
MV's are way cool and I did spend some time on Steelsoldiers to gather information. Once you 'bob' em, they're almost practical. I drive mine every day. The worst thing about M35's is the exhaust dumping out right in front of the passenger windshield. I ran my exhaust all the way out the back and the only noise I hear is the engine fan. The next thing is at 13,500# they weigh too much for 140hp. Between losing 3000#'s
bobbing it and effectively changing the axle ratio to 4.10 with the 53 inch tires I can easily and quietly run down the hiway 55mph @1900rpm and get 13mpg. Consider the "COOL" factor on top of that and it's almost practical.
