    Well It's time to part ways with big Blue. 1986 CC, Dually. It went down a few years ago and I have wanted to fix it but the reality is I haven't done it by now so it probably isn't getting done. Truck is complete with the exception that it will need at least a valve job (my best guess) to...

    Thinkin about a 97 E300

    any one with any experience in one? I am commuting a 180 miles a day and the 97 f350 only will give me 21 mpg if I keep it down in the 60's any info would be good at this point. I am also thinking the VW, but I like the thought of a bit more metal around me on the SoCal freeways.

    6.9 question

    I hit it right behind the passenger side front tire. She was scooting fast enough to bend both frame rails and moved the front end over about two or three inches. The bent in front of the suspension so i had the wheels aligned, chained down the hood and have just driven it. The Camero was...

    My 6.9 is a seven cylinder

    I'd love that, but there are not a lot of us down here that i know of, Swany is the closest that comes to mind and he is four hours away. I wouldn't be opposed to a northern motor party, iffens there was a group interested. I got beer and meat money and not a bad hand at the BBQ. :D Ribs and...

    My 6.9 is a seven cylinder

    the thought has crossed my mind. the problem is, is that I don't have a place at the moment that will allow me to do it. My garage isn't big enough to be able to do the job, plus it is full of construction junk and has my 'toy ' car in it. the neighborhood has the oblogatory Azzhat that...
