Thanks Terry, this thing is my favorite forever work in progress I guess. I have requested the time off and hope to be there!

Here's the video of the new screw drive on the truck and the LESU screw drive on the trailer.

Whoa! She's a dirt catapult!:jaw: Looking good!

Re: 6X6 Quarry Dump Truck
 

Yes it is and I can't read the rpm on the motor tag, not sure what this was. I'm going to wait until I see what it does loaded but will probably change it for a slower motor/planetary combo. It's the same motor that's always been in it, the simple difference is between the threaded rod that was in there vs. the lead screw I upgraded to.

Yes it makes a huge difference. I run ACME thread in all of my truck boxes to match up with the motor rpm for a decent speed vs power. The trailers I use course SAE thread for the same reason. Gotta mix and match to get it right I guess!lol
