Well, as much as i hated having to take my truck half apart, after i had all the wiring looking and sitting perfectly. I was anxious to install my new 4:1 gear reduction and new fuel tanks from PMD. As a matter of fact about 75% of the items added to the truck is from PMD. I love Ric's site!! The new drive is awsome and was well worth the wait.
I was having so much fun I almost for got to take some pics before reassembly.... Todays project, get er back together and take for a test run

You can not load a video directly to the forum. You will have to use a host site like YouTube or photo bucket then post the links here just like you do for pics form photo bucket or any other host site.

here she is after reassembly....

I want to thank everyone who use's this forum, it has been a great help to me. Just yesterday i was reading a few threads and discovered that the 5th wheel switch effects the power delivered to the motor through the MFU..... I had never bothered to install the switch originally because i thought it was for sound effects only. Seeing as my truck was all apart when i discovered this info, i took the time to install and to my amazement, it does make a difference! Thanks again guys!

So here is my chance to share some info / insight of my own..... If anyone out there is thinking bout buying a 4:1 gear reduction drive for their truck, go for it!...money well spent i say!
My truck can now be driven slow, smooth and with tons of torque. Can drive from a smooth to rough or bumpy surface without having to drastically change throttle position. And in the future, if i want all that crazy speed back, it's real eazy to remove unit and reinstall original driveline!......way, way in the future.No plans to do so but nice to know that no original parts are damaged or modified for installation.

So check out the video of " King of bling hauler " with new reduction drive...

Hello everyone, after 14 days straight of 12 hr shifts, I'm back from the great white north....and I mean snow on the ground and ice on the lakes .Glad to be home for 14 glorious days off! The other nice part of this work rotation, I order parts for my truck before I leave for work.... and when I get home, the parts are here.
It's funny, I work for Caterpillar on large mining equipment for a living and when I get home, I work on my scale truck with all those microscopic screws and parts #$%#^.... I love every minute of it!!!!
Here's a few pics of my latest order. All aluminum front axle and rear suspension links from RC damper, and my beautiful air cleaners from PMD. Plus a new upgraded power plant for "Super bling". My labour of love starts.....tommorow, I need some sleep first...LOL
