No I will admit I didn't know that. And if I were in the market for a new truck that's one option I wouldn't want and couldn't care less about. So that's of little difference to me. I don't rock climb and I don't mud. A truck to me is a tool. It helps me get something done. My play time is spent reloading and shooting. So obviously I don't care what a Powerwagon is. To me it's a guy who is trying to compensate for something. One of my SILs is into that stuff and he thinks it makes him a man. What makes him a man is how protective he is of my grnad daughter and daughter and how hard he works to make sure that not only is a roof over their heads and food on the table but that they can afford things like toys and jacked up trucks.
Little history for you. IN the mid 70s the US Army bought Powerwagons. Some were equiped with an extra 24 volt alternator to power vehicle mount radios and all were fitted with black out drive lights. The Army had nothing but troubles with them. Front axles and trannies were the worst. By 83 they were being replaced with GM/Chevies. They still had some of the Chevy's and GM's in 96 when I retired. Our support maintanance company, E CO 701st, got theirs in 75. Picked them up a depot in Germany and drove them back to the Stuggart area. Out of 20 brand new trucks only 12 drove in under their own power (keep in mind that before the wall came down you could cross West Germany in less than 8 hours by road). Add in young soldiers who didn't have to pay for the gas or repairs.......well you can guess the rest.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
