how much have you hauled....
My record was probably a 14,500 lb forklift on a 3500 lb trailer with my 550 gallon water tank in the flatbed to keep the truck on the ground when loading. 4000 lbs in bed of 7400 lb truck means 29,400. It did pretty well considering. That forklift put a hole in the floor of my trailer.- 82fordtruck

For Sale: Dually tire chains ($75)
I have a pair of dually tire chains with the Dual V bar style. They were purchased from tirechains.com and have been used twice. They don't fit the dually I have now (different tire size), and have been used exactly twice. But, they were worth it the first time!! Look here for the link: It's...- 82fordtruck

800K?
I laughed when he was talking about how he got the truck with over 700k miles on it and crediting the fact that it lasted so long to the oil he had in it when it failed. He's also going on about the fact that it didn't fail due to lubrication issues - of course it wouldn't if it didn't have that...- 82fordtruck

Chicago CL find
I don't follow. It's very easy to change instrument clusters on these older trucks. I actually did it on an old one for about five minutes to test a different cluster I was having issues with. It takes about ten minutes on the OBS trucks.- 82fordtruck

GPR not functioning
I am really curious what is going on. Both sides test 12v to ground when the truck is on, but if I disconnect the wiring from the relay I can get 12v signal from the truck. I tried jumping the relay and it will not click at all - so it would seem it is bad. I am getting .6 ohms across the two...- 82fordtruck

cheap C-350 gasser CL find
I saw one at a junkyard a while ago. It was a F350 chassis cab 4x4 dually with the 460 engine and a bad transmission. I wanted to buy the whole thing off him for the axles, as dually 4x4 axles are a little hard to find. So I ask how much for the whole thing as is. $3500 He said the axle was...- 82fordtruck

GPR not functioning
I tested it more yesterday and I have 12v at both small terminals between the terminal and ground. I have no idea what this means..... Tonight I am going to disconnect from the relay and retest the wires and coil separately. All gp's tested fine and I did some work to the UVCH. Also -...- 82fordtruck

Chicago CL find
If it was an 08 or 09 maybe I'd believe that may be the case - but an 01?? It is very clean - but that stuff can be easily swapped out from a wrecked truck for little money and an evening's worth of work.- 82fordtruck

Chicago CL find
That surprising - but I'm still struggling with the fact that someone would spend the kind of money it takes to modify that truck and then not drive it commercially. If it doesn't have a million miles on it I'd suspect odometer fraud.- 82fordtruck

Do the newer ones not roll over at 400k like the OBS trucks do?- 82fordtruck

GPR not functioning
I was having a hard starting issue that I thought was related to injector O rings. After a month in the garage, and new O rings all around, with new UVCH plugs - the glow plugs are not kicking on at all. I had the whole engine harness taken off to work on the UVCH parts (had to repair and solder...- 82fordtruck

Waste Motor Oil as fuel in a 7.3?
I had always intended to do this until i read an instruction manual on a waste oil boiler. It was made to burn waste oil and was talking about the maintenance to clean out the combustion chamber. it turns out that small bits of metal and other contaminants suspended in the oil (they filtered...- 82fordtruck
