    2 Questions, 89 Bronco and difernces in engines

    I have a chance to get my hands on an 89 fullsize bronco. I havent really got a good look at it yet so I dont know what I'm in for. If its worth fixin up I'll fix it up a bit and play in the woods with it. If its not I'll probably end up parting it out. What engines do they run in these 302's...

    5 ton military truck

    I just went to look at a 5 ton military dumptruck with my friend. Its a 1970 turbo'd 465 continetal multi fuel engine. Seemed to run good with lots of smoke ;Sweet . It was in good shape too. The guy wants 5000 for it which seems like a good deal compared to others ive seen. Is there anything...

    Tailgate, Up or down?

    I always thought that you were better off with the tailgate up for fuel mileage because it created an air bubble therefore minimizing drag. Today my friend bet me a cup of coffee that it was the other way around. So what is it? Chris

    86 6.9ltr questions

    At my friends farm we got an 86 f-350 with the diesel and automatic to beat on. The only thing that concerns me is the coolant, or lack of. The coolant is full of oil. Im guessing its the oil cooler but is there anything else that could cause that? The truck runs and starts good though. I figure...

    Best engine for Class 8

    Nobody really posts down here so I figured I'd give it a shot. What do you think the best engine for HD applications is? It can be a new Cat or an old Detroit, makes no differnce as long as it was in a truck. The only engines I have really encountered so far have been a 550 Cat C-15 and Mack...

    B model Mack questions

    A thought came to my head the other day about buying an old B model and restoring it. My ideal truck would be a single axle tractor with the diesel and twin stick. What would a truck like that go for? Can you get parts for these old beasts still? If the engine/trans/rear is good how much would...
