also the ability to have low range 2wd for backing up trailers is nice when you have a manual trans so you don't have to burn up your clutch to go slower...
Ever consider a career in sales? You make this sound like a REALLY good plan.... (and I was leaning that direction anyway......) Oh, and by the way, my wife now hates you.

Meh you must have the wrong clutch j/k

The 2 low is very nice for reversing, and when trying to manouvre a trailer in a tight space. It allows very very precise speed control

It's all good for now, but I'm contemplating finding a nice place to hide some beefy terminal strips.

Made the ram work today. She did well for sitting for the last 8 months!

New trans cooler is fantastic! I have the monstrous try cool cooler. Never saw temps over 185!

That'd be just a bit too much out of the way. This is one of those little things that makes me appreciate the wide open spaces under the hood of my old Scout. You could just about stick a calf on each fender and close the hood without bruising one of 'em.

^ The Scout has enough room to fit the massive DT466 engine in it so wouldn't surprise me that a baby cow/calf could fit. Lolol.
