[sleeptyper]

How many gallons per mile ?

[oldbuckshot]

@sleeptyper Not sure on the exact figure but in two days hard chewin in the mud it will burn through 1100 liters which would be both tanks.

Man, I'd hate to have to work on this thing, especially out in the freezing cold.

You ain't exactly gonna fix this thing with a standard Phillips, lol.

[oldbuckshot]

@FrigginEngineer Ya no doubt! you definantly gotta have the right guy operating it. Theres alot of moving parts in the front end when its locked in and articulating, steering and spinning all at the same time. No heavy foot with that truck just finesse

[oldbuckshot]

The rears are clark planetary diffs full locking and the fronts i cant remember the make of them but there geared 3% faster than the rears so there usually only locked in if its muddy or really soft or icy. The lockers are all on air switches on the dash.

[Bigdarian]

Does that truck have locking Diff's?

[oldbuckshot]

Ya its actually goin out of service now and being replaced by a 6 wheel drive articulating commander.
