    Change truck rear end change ratio

    Any time you change your final drive ratio you will either gain or loose power in ALL gears!! Why are you so concerned about "low" gear? I'd be more concerned about "high" gear negotiating inclines. Specially with that Renau.

    That really has nothing to do with my argument as long as rates are standard 60-70%. You have been a Contractor for quite a while now. But, if you want a taste of the real world, reinstate your Authority, sign on a few of these yoho's and start a Company thread of your own. That action...

    Try it the old fashoned way. I use a king size feather tick and lay on half, cover with the other half.. Don't use any fuel, don't cost much, won't get rained on, not worried about it getting stolen, cause they'll have to take me with it, and, the maintenance is pretty minimal. And for...

    Ahh Willy, could you use some remedial map reading or something? And so what if 17 is a whole twenty miles South. I simply typed South, so what's the hair splitting about? Are you one of the type that wont run for 50% of two buks, but would run yer azz off for 60% of a buk n half?
