    The v8 combined with those gears will make the tank unstoppable.

    Thanks mate - funnily enough it's only at slower speeds? It either winds out (as such) and you can't hear it, or stops after about 60-70 klms per hour. Strange?

    Aaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh ....

    Well, looks like I'm spending my afternoon pulling out 85% reduction gears!!!! Fun, fun, fun!!!!

    That whine is too loud and signifies a problem apparently - rang dhuck and Tony to see if they can confirm anyone they know of the same problem, but now have Danny (gearbox specialist) and dhuck (through Brad at On Track) tell me they have to come out - sorry Tony, not pre-empting, but not expecting any better news from your end either ... how disappointment ...

    Didn't even get to use them!!! Bugger!!! But, at least I'll have gears back in this arvo and have a working truck I can do the 15 hour return trip in tomorrow.

    Tank is even more upset than me though!! lol

    No worries Scott.

    I haven't been able to get in contact with the bloke I was talking about, have left messages on both his phones.
