    Thanks

    Yesterday was bittersweet for me. I sold my IDI. I needed to sell the truck to finance some additional business expansion. I really hated to do it, but it is what it is. I wanted to use this post to thank all you guys and gals for helping me with all of the knowledge that you so freely share. I...

    STEERING STABILIZER?? NEED SOME ASSISTANCE

    I had severe death wobble on my 93 after a new tire install. It was suggested by the local "4x4" shop to slap on a steering stabilizer and it would fix it. Instead took it home and replaced all ball joints, tre, drag link, and Trac bar bushings and now have zero death wobble. A steering...

    Goodbye to the 7.3 IDI and hello to the 7.3 PSD.

    My 7.3 ISI has over 420k miles and that goes up by 50 miles or so daily. The IDI is stupid simple and a great engine. I call B.S. on a $5000 IDI overhaul. I've seen too many guys do it for lotsa cheaper. Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

    Which cummins? 12v or 24v

    I hear that while not capable of the insane horsepower numbers that u can squeeze out of a p-pump the VE pump does offer better fuel economy. And u can still get plenty of usable hp as well. Most of us will never need the hp/torque numbers that alot of people seem to want from a diesel, whether...

    custom ranger swap

    That is correct. The headrest of the rear explorer seats is over a quarter of the way into the rear side glass. Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

    overheating....

    Would the air not eventually make its way out on its own?

    F-Superduty trans to divorced NP205

    Has anyone done this? Used a ZF5 from an F-Superduty with the parking brake assembly then used a divorced NP205 behind it?

    help design a flatbed...should i even do a flatbed?

    The perimeter, headache rack and center rails are 3" c-channel.. The crossmembers are 2x4 steel tubing spaced every 12". You really cant tell it from the pic but the bed sits on 4x4 steel tubing 1/4" wall so the rise of the frame over the rear axle did not factor into the install. There are a...

    help design a flatbed...should i even do a flatbed?

    I have a flatbed on my 93 CCLB 4x4. I love it. My truck is on 37's as well. I wouldn't go back to having a regular bed. I have removable sides that fit in the stake pockets. The bed measures a little wider that 6' and a full 8' long. I can get you some more pics later if you would be interested.
