    Sale section question...

    It's probably worthy to note that the latest post I can see there is from August 2014.

    Removing bed

    Thanks. I don't own a welder or the skill to weld, but I'll keep that in the back of my mind for future reference.

    Removing bed

    Well, since I didn't post back, I'll bet you're wondering what happened to this. I snapped like 3 or 4 Torx bits on the bolts next to the cab. I gave up.

    Block heater questions

    Well, I figured out most of my problem... My starter was fubar. Whoever installed it cross-threaded one of the bolts. A buddy noticed it throwing sparks when I tried to start it yesterday (at 10 degrees). I had cycled the glow plugs TEN times before I started trying to start it, then 5...

    Block heater questions

    Ok, you guys answered my question, but I don't think you understand what I wanted to do. I am plugging it in when I'm at the house, but I wondered what my options were for when I'm away from home (i.e. camping). Do I need to buy a freakin' generator to carry along to start a couple hours...

    Block heater questions

    How much power does the block heater on my truck draw? It's the '03 7.3L diesel. Is it feasible to think that I could run an inverter and plug the block heater into the inverter to warm up the engine when it's really cold? If so, how big of an inverter would I need and how long does it...

    Removing bed

    Ok, so I got a mini-torch at Lowe's and some PB Blaster. The PB blaster is flammable, though, so I don't think I'm gonna be using them together. :D So, I guess I need to hit them with some heat first since the PB Blaster won't evaporate and I'll end up igniting it if I do the heat 2nd...

    Removing bed

    Ok, so I started on it and it's evident it's not gonna be that simple. I pulled the two rear bed bolts out with little fuss. With an 18" breaker bar, they didn't really put up that much of a fight. However, the on on the left by the cab has already snapped two T-50 bits. I figured the first...

    Removing bed

    So, I just looked at it. Looks like... 2 bolts on each tail light (8mm) 3 bolts on the fuel filler (7mm) 8 (I think) Torx bolts on the bed (T-50) 4 bolts for my safety hooks for the Gooseneck hitch After that, it should just lift right off, right? I know I'm overthinking it...

    Thank you. I might have to try this now.

    Removing bed

    What all is involved in removing my bed? I'd like to remove it completely so I can get a good look underneath. I picked up this 2003 with 244k miles and it seems to have a good bit of rust underneath (understandable). Is it reasonable to thing I can simply unbolt the bolts holding the bed...

    Brake leak

    Touche'... this is my first diesel, but we just picked up a 2013 Jetta TDI so I'm getting better with the diesel references instead of saying "gas" all the time. Eh, I just took the easy route and let Midas do it. Found a coupon for free comprehensive brake inspection so I figured I'd let...
