    Towing w/ My IDI

    Thanks all. My neighbor is careful and takes care of the truck when he uses it. He does have the wherewithal to restore anything that might happen while it is in his possession. He is the only driver of my vehicle--his knucklehead son was at the wheel of his 350 both times the axle let...

    Towing w/ My IDI

    Thanks guys. I was mostly worried about pushing the intrinsic towing capacity of the truck even though it just walks away with the load behind it. My neighbor and friend seems to take good care of it, and brings it back shiney clean and full of diesel--and needs it only occasionally...

    Towing w/ My IDI

    Periodically, a neighbor of mine needs to borrow my truck to tow/move a construction waste grinding machine (10,000# w/ pintle hitch) when one of his trucks goes down, or he gets it into a muddy spot. His 6.0 PowerStroke F350 4x4 auto with a dump bed is presently in dry dock with a broken...

    Fuel System Losing Prime

    Fuel filter is not that old--replaced it when I renewed the o-ring that seals the connector for the fuel heater on top of the filter head. Will give the filter a gentle tweak and see if that helps. The fuel lines are five or six years old--something is leaking air alright.....:dunno

    Fuel System Losing Prime

    When parked for over a week in a "nose-up" posture, the truck seems to ingest air. When parked "nose-down" it does not seem to suffer the problem. Anybody else experience that?? Took a bit of cranking yesterday evening and this morning (batteries on the trickle charger all night) to get it...

    65hp

    Either the inspection protocols where you live are waaaaaay different, or the inspectors were knuckleheads...... I agree that having the timing and fuel/air induction looked at would be a good start.....

    65hp

    Dyno'd emissions tests on gas powered vehicles here in Georgia are done at 25 MPH with a 25% load on the powertrain, and a 15 MPH test with a 50% load. We do not test diesels or vehicles with a GVW in excess of 8500# here--at least so far. We read unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and...

    Moosestang HIT!

    If Mel is not carrying collision on the Moostang, he will likely get little help from his insurer--they are not at risk in that circumstance.

    Moosestang HIT!

    Turn the heat up as far as you can. :backoff The insurance company rep will stiff arm you unless you make things uncomfortable for them--simple dollars and cents for them. If PA has small claims court you might consider that as a fall back. You can represent yourself with the facts and...

    Moosestang HIT!

    Second Adrian's recommendation. Ranch Hand stuff is way overbuilt. Glad that you are OK. No accounting for knuckleheads......:backoff
