tom lawrence wrote any hub conversions for the aam front axle been trying to find one few leads but nothing concrete dynatrac now has a kit available. some guys over on the tdr worked with them to get this developed and several have already purchased and installed kits. you can read all about it here http//www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.phpt=96948 or just call dynatrac at 714-596-4461 and get the info. straight from them. be forewarned - i hear its an $1800 retail kit. i have emailed them for more info on it a few days ago but no responce yet. kinda strange. ----------------- www.thesnoman.com .

mile marker also makes a 9000# and 10500# winch. why was the largest winch chosen even the two smaller winches could lift the entire truck off the ground with the use of a single line pull. you made a great point that a lot of unused power is wasted in the power steering system. it was nice to read that there was no effect on the steering system. the lack of a required electrical upgrade is another great reason to go hydraulic. people should also be aware that if any hardware is lost to resist the temptation to run to home depot to replace nuts and bolts. if this winch and chassis is going to see a 12000 pull its more than likely that either grade 5 or grade 8 harware is required. is the rated speed of the winch rated with the engine idling or does varying the speed of the engine increase the line speed great install good luck with it. john .

if you live in a warm enough climate maybe even a 20w50 oil might help. john .
