It's good to have friends drop by

Had some visitors Tuesday night. Cummins 4BT powered 6X6 Power Wagon. Tim and Bob drove from Pennsylvania to California in this incredible beast. Total miles this trip = 2700.

Man I hope that old Dodge has A/C or that would be one long drive.

Sure does - Vintage Air. It did get hot going across the salt flats, but great trip otherwise.

I hope it's got 14 transmissions, or that would be one slow drive.

Overdrive 5-speed plus differentials re-geared with 4.89's. They could cruise at 65 with occasional burst of speed to 70 mph.

That truck rocks! PA to CA would be a killer adventure!

Agreed! That is impressive! Even more so, that truck is amazing... very beautiful.

Any info on the MPG's the 4BT returned spinning 6 tires? I would suspect not great, but I am curious.

The following link is to the Dodge Power Wagon Forum - look for posts by Tim Holloway. I think most of the members of the RME4X4 group would find the Power Wagon world very interesting. Tim said that he would calculate MPG and post later. http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/wwwboard/index.html

Dan Hultgen did a quick MPG check on his way home: http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/wwwboard/messages/4220491.html That works out to 27.4 MPG on that big 6X6.
