Those of us who drive in the desert will be familiar with the need to pull stuck vehicles out of the sand (usually Land Cruisers). This is a weird one .. a guy who managed to get his Dodge Challenge R/T well and truly buried. While I recovered him OK, the slick tires on the Dodge absolutely refused to grip, meaning I was pulling a couple tonnes of dead weight American muscle .. the strain on my 110 (4.5 JED V8 - pushing about 260bhp) proved a bit much, and after recovery, it spluttered and died. Thankfully nothing serious ... i'd just bought this, and fears of a full rebuild just 7k after it was put together filled me with dread. Torn air intake hose was all ... think the strain has caused the engine to move around a bit on its mounts, something I'm fixing this week.
