    Cheapest place for diesel

    Fellas, Friday I am heading down to San Jose from good old Albany Oregon 600 miles each way. Where is the best place to fill up in the Bay Area? Heading to the HP Pavilion for the arena football game on Friday and then heading up the bay to watch the Giants/Dodgers Saturday afternoon. Then it...

    HONEST mileage - apples 2 apples

    Well, since you are a previous Oregonian I will welcome you back if you so choose;) I have been all over the country and always keep coming back to the valley. Hope you had a good trip. Let me know if I can be of assistance if you are looking at the valley. Trapper

    HONEST mileage - apples 2 apples

    Maxtor, the grass stays fairly green for most of the year, just depends on how much rain we get. A couple of days of rain a month keeps things in pretty good shape, thanks for the complement. It is amazing how fast they turn those things out, you should see the turnaround time on a...

    New Audio

    That thing looks sweet. One question, what do you do if you have people in the car that you don't want to hear your conversation? Can you disable the speakers at any time? Trapper

    The end of summer off road driving?

    So Kleetus, if I am pulling a 30 foot gooseneck loaded to the hilt with hay across an unirrigated pasture field with 2 foot tall native grass, is that loaded and do I have a chance to burn the field up? Not trying to sound like a wise guy but I am not talking about bumping around a trail. I...

    The end of summer off road driving?

    I understand were you are coming from. I to have seen the damage that a few idiots can cause and have had more than a few of our favorite trails closed down because people think that because their vehicle can go places that they shoud take them there. We have plenty of forest service roads...

    The end of summer off road driving?

    So your telling me you have never driven through a field with your truck? Farmers don't drive through cut fields of grass, wheat, alfalfa you name it all the time? If I am going to go out off roading I am not going to be taking my $50,000 crew cab pickup, I will take my Jeep. But there must...

    The end of summer off road driving?

    So, the dealer in my town got one in yesterday and I stopped by for a look. The look of the front grill is actually pretty good in person, looks tuff. The rest of the truck, well I am not so sure. Seems like they are trying to make this thing into an Escalade instead of a pickup truck. Tons...

    Joke of the day

    A guy has just come from the doctor with bad news. He had been complaining of very bad headaches for years. The doctors told him he has a very rare medical condition. His testicles are pushing up on his spine and causing him to have these headaches. The condition has been going on for years...

    6.0's Running BD or WVO?

    I am currently on my second tank of B20. I have not (knock on wood) had any problems yet. Slight drop in mileage but to me it is worth it. I am going to have to take a look at my fuel filters here pretty soon to see how they look. Trapper

    What is this stuff in my coolant?

    Thanks guys. So, is flushing these beast fairly simple or is it something I should take in. I have swapped many an engine in my day and like to think of myself as being pretty competent around tools but, this thing scares me. It isn't an old Willys jeep or FE. A lot of hoses and not much...

    What is this stuff in my coolant?

    Ok, don't know why all of a sudden this stuff concerns me since it has been there since as long as I can remember but, any of you have a brown sludge in the bottom of your overflow? It looks just like the color of the anti freeze until you stick your finger in it and bring it out. Then it is...

    just in from under the hood/truck

    I am not sure on the leaf spring thing but I would imagine that they could be different lengths/widths and have different eye sizes. Just a gues. Trapper

    Does your turbo still spin after you shut down?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I am never usually outside my truck at the pipe on shutdown and with the stock system it really drowns out the sound. Thanks also for the info on the MBRP pipe. :sweet Trapper

    Does your turbo still spin after you shut down?

    So, the other day I unbolted the exhaust from the cat to see what the sound was like. Drove it for about 15 miles and then when I got home I had the wife rev it for me while I stood outside (sound was pretty sweet by the way). After I had her shut it down I could hear the turbo spinning for...

    GOLD Coolant vs. GREEN Coolant

    Yellow is yellow, it is not a shade of green. I bought my truck in Oregon as well and it had yellow coolant in it, I don't think they change the coolant based on delivery of vehicle. Trapper

    Only 12 mpg's!!!

    Has your speedometer been corrected for your larger tires? I have the same size tires as you with no speedo correction and my mileage is of 10%. That alone could up your MPG about 2 miles per gallon. I consistently run 16 MPG mixed driving and close to 20 just freeway driving. Winter time I...

    Tire ?

    I roll 315/75/16 on mine with no suspension modifications. Stock rims as well. If you are going to be doing a lot of offroading where your suspension will flex a lot it will mess you up. For everyday driving and mild situations they fit fine for me. Trapper

    Power Inverter

    I put a Coleman 800 watt under the middle seat in mine. Very easy install. Plugs stick out the back. Hook up the tv and PS2 for the kids on road trips, works like a charm. Trapper

    Oil Dipstick Broke

    On my 03 the dipstick broke. I don't know if exactly what kind of breakage you have on yours. On mine the plastic pull handle pulled off of the metal dipstick. Must have been some problem with glue or something. The handle pulls up and out and then I have to grab the dipstick by hand and...

    Plugged Cat? Slipping Clutch?

    I was wondering if the lack of fuel mileage and rpm change was a result of a plugged cat or a sliping clutch. If the cat is plugged the truck won't breath so mpg goes down as well as power. If the clutch is slipping the mileage will go down as well as power. Different symptoms can have the...

    Advice Needed

    So I am looking at doing some exhaust upgrades and tossing around a couple of ideas. On one hand, I can get an AFE cat delete pipe for about $50 and then get a muffler delete pipe for about $80 bucks and have an open exhaust that I can still put the cat or muffler in if I don't like it. My...
