CCW, good truck-bad truck

[RANGER]

CCW was a good idea, and if used in ideal conditet off road and it was suicide for the truck. What would happen is that in soft going there was insufficient gearing to get torque to the rear axles and the truck engine would have a short life, the heavier the d. The two speed transfer made a difference
I witnessed a CCW Garbage Packer in sandy soil at a Military Base Landfill for 3 consecutive days, the going was just too soft and the truck was geared too high even in 1st and Reverse gear to give the rear axles power to move. After 3 days of revving and much clutch slipping the engine developed a knock. It averaged 3 trips a day to the landfill. The next time I saw this very same truck, it was about 8 months later, and was at a surted to CCKW configuration.
