Hi all,
I have an 84 GW that has been converted to manual hubs and has the NP229 TC. I've owned 6 waggies in the past that all have plowed snow very well, all were 74-79 QT's. On the QT's, the "emergency switch" in the glove box says, "DO NOT SPIN WHEELS" !
I understand the potential ramifications of manual hubs with the NP229 TC, in terms of the viscous coupler. We all know that sometimes while plowing snow, a little wheel spin is unavoidable. My question is : Does occasional wheel spin (I try to avoid the best I can) in my 84 with manual hubs create harm to the VC ? I plow in low 4wd and in 1st gear. I've babied all my waggies.
Thanks,
Dan
