Just Looking is All

I have had a BMW x5 and currently have a Mercedes ML for my wife, they are economical to buy used because nobody wants to work on them. It gives me heartburn every time I open the hood on the Mercedes.

Hopefully i get a few more years out of Princess...

Best $800 dollar unit in Our fleet,,, alot of miles and zero rust...

Shes on a diet of gear-oil / diesel-fuel mix 2 or 3 X's a year...

Just getting ready for the next spray job...

A person can't apply enough mix for Alberta's conditions...

I got a chance too run a ford 1 ton with the 7.3 Godzilla engine for a few thousand miles threw the mountains...

6 speed auto with lock up gears in manual mode...

14 too 15 mpg rugging it all day at 7 tons all in...
Its actually the only unit ive run this year with that kind of power too fuel milage consumption...

It was a beast on the climbs,,, throw it into 6th manual mode,,, pick-up some sailing speeds and sift up those grades like nothing...

If the unit needed more grunt id drop it into 5th then fly over the top of the Mountains like nothing...

The trick is too get the crank-shaft spinning...

The rotating mass of that crank would rip the arms off a Grizzly Bear like nothing...

The V-10's are ok but they 8 piston units have something going for them...

I hope they stuff a few of them in 1/2 tons with over-drive... lol

A whipple charger would be a good add on
