Not really. A little more grunt for pulling power is what spurred this thread. I was OK with it as it ran, just figuring if it's in pieces there is no more trouble putting it back together with different parts instead of the same parts. And I already own all the parts, too. :D
Well thank goodness it's not your time, your money, your effort or your truck. I shall soldier on with my (sadly) steep learning curve. Besides, yours is already way nicer than this one will ever be, and that's with it still in a bunch of pieces in your garage.
