I went thru the same quandary a couple of months ago... I have a Mog 404 that is great to tow anything I want but it is way slow for the occasional 500 mile road trip.
My solution was to get a 1 ton crew cab duallie. I found a 86 F350 crew cab that was not too beat up for $2200. Not a daily driver ...

yes, plus $500 for parts
maybe a hundred for machine shop
and the unexpected... better have about $1200 on hand to bring it in.
so, is there a good Pinz mechanic in Pittsburgh?

pcolette: to answer your question, yes. But the effect would be a loss of assist in applying pressure... if there are no leaks in the vacuum hoses then you could/should feel the pedal go down more easily.

Jim and David are steering you in the right path

been Ebay shoping for several years, no problems
shop there like you would shop any where else, internet or brick and mortar.

I just got a Bean Bag mount for my car, it is truly great! nice and heavy, very pliable, and has a moldable plate inside than can be hand formed to the curves if your dash (would swear it is a lead sheet, buy that is now a toxic waste item)

very sad

my best, Peter

while you are under there checking out the motor mounts have a look at all of the rubber bushings in the suspension including the shock absorber rubbers... this is very common with all older rigs
rubber ages just sitting on the shelf, you have an old truck, a maintenance thing, not a big issue.

(oh ...

what you are looking for is "Fuel Tank Slushing Compound"
ask at your automotive paint store or google it
started using it on motorcycles in the early 70's
makes a plastic coating on the inside of the tank, pour in the whole quart, slop it around so it gets on everything, then pour it back in the ...

Thanks for your concern
I don't know where you got your data, I just go by the manufactures specs on the frame, door sticker, tires, etc
Yes, all lights and brakes were hooked up and in excelent condition.
100% legal
I never said legal = safe. I leave that argiument to the engineers and ...

has rubber tires too!

NC_Mog:
I will not take offense, and I do agree with you.

this type of tow will not be a regular practice... BTW, this is a SRT8 with big brembo brakes and wide rubber and stiff polly suspension too, load leveling hitch, all gear rated for the tow.

I stayed totally on the back roads, speed never ...

thanks for your concern Michael! the trip was slow but uneventful... the CHP did not give me a second look but I did turn a few heads along the way.

this first photo is first thing this morning as I was getting ready to unload, after 12 years here I will be seeing the top of the ridge in the ...

we all made it to Punta Banda just fine...
more later, nap time!

Scott is giving real good advice
I would love to have a Pinz 712M but it is much more wise fore me to have a Mog.

BTW, there are ...
