The winches on dad and I's F250s don't get used a lot... But when they do get used, they're used hard, or because they're the safest way to do something.

Police kill more people every year than people kill police. Think about what it's like to be stopped by the police.

It still is.

If I'm going anywhere not urban, I'll carry a pair of chains. Year round.

As someone who loves their Yeti coolers... I love them because of their durability, not their ice holding.

I've heard so much about Subaru reliability issues... Between my parents, my wife, and my circle of friends I bet we've gone through 35+ Subaru vehicles. Zero significant issues. Including several that were modified.

A 2500 Cummins...

Chalk doesn't lie. Flat tread is easy enough to find.

I wouldn't exactly call 31xx pounds not much payload...

So your 3500# of brick was not within trailer capacity.

Gross trailer weight includes weight of the trailer...

That's a common refrain... I've dailied a diesel in a city for 19 years... No issues with getting up to temp.

What junk bandsaws are you used to?

I'm aware. I've done it. I'm wayyyyy under $20k on my 500hp Cummins in a Ford. And I didn't even take the cheap route to 500hp.

Thanks! And yeah, it's almost crazy how much room there is under the hood! I did do the swap. Bought a short block that needed torn down. Rebuilt it, it's also got a cam and p-pump swap. Sitting at 500ish horsepower. Got an adapter plate and custom flex plate to run the 5r and modified the...

But if the alternator puts out more power at idle... You don't. My factory alternator was 110a max, running the ac at a stoplight I have more draw than that in aftermarket stuff. But my new alternator puts out 140a at idle.

Wound up with a Mean Green 220a, I'd already upgraded cables. Took this pic waiting for the new battery terminals. It's nothing too special.

Aftermarket stuff, besides the swap- Radiator fans are 40a Fuel pump is 20a Trans cooler fans are 20a Stereo amp is 60a Plus a few other small drains. Those are all being used any time the engine is running. Already have two group 65 batteries. That's assuming I'm not running the winch...

I've got an 06 F250 with a Cummins in it, running the 6.0 alternator. A lot of additional electrical load. Fuel pump, lights, amps, fans, winch... About to add an air compressor, invertor, and probably another fan for a remote trans cooler... Any experience with the various companies that...
