My GCVM is up to 12,000kgs depending how much timber i load on

YouTube - ‪7.3 powerstroke twin stacks‬‏

saying that my trailer is only legal for 4.5t becauce it doesnt have airbrakes

i have put 6 ton camelback suspension with stock XL f250 rims on the trailer

thanks its taken years and lots cash to get it how i wanted

the gear vendors overdrive is just awesome 1900rpm@120kms

stock springs but i did up grade to bilstein stocks

i had airs bags on my 2002 f250 with the I6 MWM 4.2 DIESEL

would be good to have a yarn about big oil and injectors like you have done to yours.
