    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That is one nice truck. Not that I would ever be riding in a 'smart' car...but I would hate to be in one and have that truck right on my back end.... Serious business... You have every right to be proud of your truck...it telegraphs...'utility and capability'. Now I know what kind of truck I...

    is there a IDIA group around?

    Cute little thing...I see that someone put in a master disconnect switch and a decent fuel/water seperator...and you have the 'hi output' heater/defroster system...with a bypassed heater core... I am a diesel convert...my '85 is my first diesel...I love it so much that I talk to it sweetly when...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That is one beautiful truck...!!! It is funny that I was thinking about adding something like that front end to mine, as well...recently... but my truck will never look as good as yours...you have the best aggressive stance I have seen, yet...!! I dare anything to try to stop you... Let's...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    HF Trailer Wheel Bearing temps

    What kind of grease are you using...? On torquing...I imagine that everyone has 'their own way' to do things...but on wheel bearings like that...I snug 'em up real good and spin the hub and then back off the nut a bit until things turn a bit more freely...to allow a grease film to get between...

    Cup holders

    Sounds pretty handy... Can we see a pic of it so that the less inventive ones of us can get some ideas...or...shamelessly copy it..? I mean...given the fact that I am never going to learn...(about parking stuff on the roof and forgetting about it...)...I could use a better idea that would save...

    @IDIBRONCO .... Can we see a better pic of your grapple on the loader bucket..? Looks pretty nifty... By the way...that is one nice tractor...just my speed... If I was not so enamored of my little guy I would be jealous...but still...I'll bet you get a lot of utility outta that machine...

    Cup holders

    I always gotta learn the hard way...this helmet was brand new-never been used and I hadda go and put it on the roof of 'Ol One-Ton facing the sun to charge it up...little did I know at that moment that in a few minutes I needed to move the truck... Just this morning The Girl was looking for her...

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    I have a feeling that an originally turbo-ed diesel that has the turbo missing would be gutless..that is to say the power level would be so low that it would be useless as a prime mover...maybe it would work as a garage heater...but be very inefficient in that role... When you turbo a...

    Cup holders

    Yeah...and what will usually happen is some sugary drink will wind up spilling down into the 'manual lever position sensor' and short it out and cause all sorts of 'electronic' transmission problems....and it is never cheap to figure out or fix.... The driver would never figure that they caused...

    Getting ready to install my c6 cooling upgrades

    Late to the party here... But I can tell you what I used to do... On a rigid pan...cast aluminum...in a pinch the cork will work but as Rdnck84_03 says...you gotta not overtighten them and probably need to re-torque at some point... I would not use RTV...just don't...the only time to use RTV...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    I just had to chime in here...not meaning to contradict you in any way...but if what you say is true...why do the extremists keep pounding away with the notion that CO2 is a 'greenhouse gas' that we have an excess of and we must all spend money that we don't have and try to live in an unnatural...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    11 May 1932 – During abortive landing of USS Akron ropes pull three members of the mooring crew high into the air while two fall to their deaths, the third was saved. 4 April 1933 - In severe storm USS Akron lost at sea off coast of New Jersey due to instrument error. This considered as one of...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The 'Ol One-Ton looked on silently while I fabbed up a couple of brackets to hold a few beehive combs on the hive while The Girl checks things out...suited up like the Pillsbury Doughboy in her bee suit... Here is the raw material...salvaged from the last place I worked... Here is how it got...
