Re: 4WD Diesel KB6

Thanks again for the kind words!

A little more update.

I had major trouble getting the 16.5 Humvee wheels to balance. Balance beads were a complete failure. I had the wheels completely apart multiple times trying different kinds. The hard rubber run-flat insert as well as the lubricant interfered with their function. I ended up breaking down and buying centramatics designed specifically for that tire and wheel combo. It was a wonderful improvement! Vibration comes and goes but its very minor compared to what I had before.

Got my gooseneck ball in and have hauled some seed and a lot of alfalfa hay bales.

Also, installed traction bars to help with axle hop in low traction situations.

I plan on entering in the local truck pull at the fair for fun. I hope to get a good video that I can share you with you guys.

I didn't break anything but the clutch was slipping the whole time so the pull wasn't that great. Still, had a good time
