4 ton H2
I weigh my H2 at 2 different scale and the average was 4.6 tons, at 2,000 lb. a ton that = 9,200 lbs. thats more than a ton and 1/2 over a stock H2 ( 6,400 lb)
winch (wire cable)
Duramax/ Allison
ladder/roof rack
fuel tank- full
5gl. jery can full
spare tire
4- 3 piece rims
and me in the truck
The point is thats too heavy, everything adds up. The Allison 5 speed trans. is worth the extra weigh. In tow haul going down hill it will down shift to slow U down. The truck has enough power to pull out 2 small trucks stuck in the mud. I would not take my H2 into a mud hole it would sink so deep I would have to call a backhoe to get out the 9.5k winch with a block will not over come the suction of the mud. In the sand with the tire psi down it feels like it is going to dig in. Its a great recovery vehicle and can tow a heavy trailer with ease. The weigh difference between a diesel and a gas eng. is a lot!!

How long do your wheel bearings last?

Re: 4 ton H2
I'd replace those stock tierods. With all that power and weight you'll snap one at somepoint.
Nice looking rig.

Re: 4 ton H2
You should have seen the look on the drivers face when I lifted a tow trucks front tires off the ground while be unloaded once. We figure I'm a minimum 10.5K (the tow truck was rated the haul 9K).

I assume you mean off road. There would be no reason to adjust down on the pavement. In fact, I go up on the pavement. I would say 45-50 on and 18-20 off road. The tires are 37s though. |
