So it "paddles" through the mud instead of digging a deeper hole. I'm told it's been proven that they work better for the "slough" down at bricks off road park?
The last 2 trucks I had had plates bolted in the bed so it doesn't bother me. Better than getting hitched for 400 miles at a time. Worked like a dream for this 550 mile round trip today
I tried that to some degree but it just kept beating the weld back down. I have a b&w sitting here that I could put it in but it never gets flipped down anyway.
It'd be the 2nd try on rebuilding. Took it apart and the shaft play is ok but it's intermittently smoking. I took a early 99 turbo and used everything but the intake housing because the last one ate a groove where the oil control ring sits. And he sent me a video of it smoking agin and then said...
