    Got some good news about my truck....

    They were far too precious for me to even attempt to deprive a dealer of their ownership. Same with a CTD, though I almost bought one. I declined because of all the mods it had. I was predisposed to go with a Super Duty because pricing was favorable on a newer, lower mileage model. It's my...

    Got some good news about my truck....

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....you believin' this.....I'm a GM guy! Even though there's seldom been a time when there wasn't at least one T-bird in my driveway; right now there's 5 Fords, a new Camry and nary a GM on my property....AAAAAAnnnnd, I turned wrenches in a half dozen Ford dealerships way back...

    Rear End Change

    I've done a lot of gear changes....royally screwed up the first couple of times, but I had to nail it down to keep my job. Mike's link covers the process well but it's not something I'd recommend as a first and only time DIY project. I also suggest you have a reputable shop do it. They'll...

    Got some good news about my truck....

    Followed the wife down to have her car serviced this morning, and the guy at the quickie lube recognized my truck....he ran the VIN in his computer system. All the blanks in its service history are now filled in and I have contact info on the previous owner. I was really happy to see that he...

    Tire Choice

    Hey, Scott.... Based on my experiences with all my duallies, don't even think about taking them into slop. For that, we should have opted for SRW trucks. Every time I've tried, my Bronco II with 35 Hawgs has gotten a workout. Even then, it was a struggle because of the weight of my...

    eBay

    You sure struck a raw nerve with me there. If I really have to have something, I'll pay a higher price from a seller who lists reasonable shipping. Another aggravation is the built-in UPS shipping quotes where you plug in your zipper. Sellers have started plugging in higher than actual weight...

    Settle in....I'm new to diesel pickups also and no one's given me the boot yet. You'll like it here. Invite pops to gawk over your shoulder and maybe he'll get up to speed.:D

    MPG; Pleasant Surprise....

    Other than to report that my kid brother immediately went out and traded in that overloaded '03 POS for an '05 POS of the same overloaded ilk....almost immediately after I told him I'd bought my Super Duty....I don't have much good to say about it (or the brother).:dunno

    MPG; Pleasant Surprise....

    Anybody see the response over at the other place?:D First time I hooked up the trailer to my kid brother's towrig, I noticed I was getting something like 154 mpg coasting downhill. I hate that overhead display thingie....caught myself stepping over the dotty line while I was watching it...

    RV battery recommendations

    I know they're often recommended and a lot of people use deep cycle batteries, but they haven't worked out well for me. I've been told the problem is that I never discharge them enough and they're being constantly recharged. A few years ago I switched to the yellowtop WallyWorld NeverStart...

    MPG; Pleasant Surprise....

    Ran out first tankful this morning since changing oil, oil filter and fuel filter. This truck has hit right on 15 mpg throughout the previous 9 fill-ups. This morning? 469.9 odometer miles/28.175 gallons. Fueling method/location, driving habits and unloaded/hauling routine haven't changed...

    what to do while sitting in the airport

    No prob....fullsizes incur max body damage anyhow....I'm just providing hauling/transport services this run (mechanically destroyed my trail rig at another meet in July) and serving as counterweight for my buddy who's lately gotten in the habit of flopping. We need more counterweights...

    what to do while sitting in the airport

    Shame you can't hang out in the Buckeye through the weekend of the 28th. Half dozen off road organizations will be at Wellsville participating in our annual Snow Ball Run festivities. Have a good and safe trip, Robert.

    No flashchat from work....

    I got around it though....can't figure out how. I'm blocked from installing any kind of program on the workstations; but, some I can download to desktop and they'll still run. AO-Hell is another one that works that way. Managed to sign onto the chat just as you went stage left.:D

    Is there a pill for our affliction?

    Ain't it amazing how some of the "new" noises have always been there, but you've been unable to hear them because of all the other louder stuff going on you've focused on. I just heard my turbo yesterday....really subtle but now perceptible because I've unconsciously begun to tune out the...
