Normally I just work on the SEI 60K Cargo Loader (i am the only mechanic here for them - http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/tunner-981761a.jpg ) but being that i am all caught up on my work and a new Ford was due a service i figured it would be a good chance to get to know my truck and tinker with some things and not have to worry about breaking something on my own truck. Hey its only your tax dollars

Add an exhaust, intake, gauges, and a race tune. Then watch that thing smoke the tires. With that short wheelbase it should be a blast to race. Keith

We dont use those to pull planes, those pull Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE).. We use colemans to pull the planes around

If memory serves me right (and usualy it doesnt) the 4th gear is locked out of the transmission and it has something like 7.xx gears in the differential.... basically it doesnt go past 30 mph full throttle... but it gets there in a hurry.

Yup... we have those too.... and the FMC B450, B600, Stewart-Stevenson (the big mo-fo), NMC Wollards, and we have some old 1969 piece of.... well... you get the idea.

What base are you at and where do you work?
