I have two western non unimont(old style) plows with the cable controlled pumps. I have tried selling them even fairly cheap so I can buy a Unimount/ ultra mount for my duramax. But haven't gotten any worth while offers. Right now I'm thinking about converting / building a unimount style system. I would buy the truck mount just because it seems they can be picked up fairly cheap 200-300. And I could use it to help fabricate the lift frame, so if I did sell it in the future it would work with any unimount setup.
So here is my thought process so far today:
Time is money, don't seem to have enough time to work on my buggy yet alone, fab up a completely different plow setup.
Wiring harness' I could make one easily, but it is time consuming Also I really do not want to hack into my dmax's wiring, will have to regardless. Otherwise complete harness would run 300 or so.
I would need to swap to a unimount pump on because the motor is different, and it has the solenoid controlled valve/ manifold, to keep the cab clean as possible.
Use the shiz I already have a 94 2500 with a tired tbi and a not so tight trans. It works but it seems I have to dump a bunch of money to keep it running every year. Nothing plow related just, things that used to work that are failing or have failed. Power windows do not work, wipers only work on Hi, needs a complete new exhaust. Cab corners are completely gone. But other than that it works great hahah
I may just be going crazy because the snow is about to roll in, and I know i'm going to have to fix something on the plow truck before I can plow anything.
So what would you do
