:lol: How is this possible ? Inferior 3rd Gen Power Wagons, with the way too low geared 4.56's axles & the geared way too low G-56 manual transmission along with the inferior 5.7L Hemi engine, can go this far without self destructing ? :lol: I think i read that somewhere. :lol:

I got nothing else, sorry. :lol: I'm getting anxiety because i am coming up on 45,000miles on my inferior 3rd Gen w/6-speed.

The ranking of the machine is only an indication of the operators knowledge and skill. You say inferior, I claim Superior. Lol less foo foo on the 3g. It's all about maintance. I'm a tech at a GM dealership and all's I do is rebuild engines that people neglect

I almost laughed out loud in my office... I kid you not, I carry a spare exhaust manifold gasket and a full set of bolts under the passenger seat in the truck :rolling:

:lol: I was not being serious. :lol: I was just poking a little fun :poke: at those who think that way. I absolutely LOVE my tractor.....I mean Power Wagon. That is the reason I got it, it is geared really low, is a manual shift, lockers, swaybar disconnect/articulation, winch, etc... . The atv I used to have was the same way, geared really low & gear driven transmission, no belt (Bombardier Traxter Max 500 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcbNd0JbJ2U ). An automatic transmission Power Wagon may work for us now though, as we downsized our camper from 30' & 10,500 lbs to 18' & 3500 lbs. :lol:

Or you just get used to the clunks and bumps lol. Vehicles are lasting longer these days mileage wise. As long as they are maintained. That's half the battle.
