It is like the gear vendor is not there when not in use. It will free wheel like a manual front diff until you flip the switch and it engages. Says they handle up to 2000 hp not sure what the torque is though, so I think it would handle what you would throw at it. Here's the link, check it out and let me know. I could put one behind my auto to get better fuel mileage

Yes, for me the Gear Vendor would fail (if it would fail) on the TQ, not the HP. But, like I said, if it is "not there" when off, then it wouldn't matter because I am much more gentle when towing. This is good news!
The wheels are Black powercoated since it holds up much better to elements than paint and/or clearcoat.

As far as the flares go, I think that standard dually fenders are so ugly and 1990s; the megcab flares (and especially mine) are so much more modern and stylish because they flare where necessary; not the whole bed like some portly waistband. It was one of the best features of the megacab dually.

Don't the flares on your truck, and the other Mega Cabs look just like the late 80's early 90's dually truck flares? Don't get me wrong, you have a sweet truck, but come on, the flares look just like the old 1st gen trucks. It looks like you took a SRW truck and cheaply made a DRW.

Looks good Wiggs. Definately over the top, as mentioned in previous posts. You need to get it on a dyno for fun sometime!
IMO. I still think you could/should turn it into a Megacab Long Bed though. You could still keep your custom flares on a long bed right?
