    I haven't been towing heavy with the crew cab since I put this on the road. I picked up an F-Superduty as well, I think it needs a head gasket and haven't had time to allocate to it. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    It's a factory tach, I thought all of them were the same.... Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    Pretty sure the machine is around 16,500lbs, trailer is 4,500lbs and the truck is 7,500lbs. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    It's been 9 years and 100,000 miles for the old logging truck from Oregon. She's working hard with 332,000 miles on the clock. The body is mostly original. Just about everything except the frame, axles and transfer case have been rebuilt or replaced by now. She is the definition of "rough around...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Very productive weekend. Here's a quick list of what got done. Repaired a burnt section of power window and door lock harness on drivers side where it enters the door chase. Fixed the wire that feeds the passenger door window. Reattached the bottom piece of metal to the passenger door...

    New truck in the fleet.

    Loadstar is a 1978 1850 with a DT466, 5 speed and split rear. 105,000 miles. Runs like a Swiss watch and will pull anything you put behind it. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    Wiring woes. I got lucky.

    Well, I went to a multi million dollar international glass company today, put the track on their counter and they said they couldn't help me. I then bought some 5 minute two part epoxy, went to my moms and cut off a swatch of roofing rubber from the cover on the log splitter and reattached the...

    Wiring woes. I got lucky.

    So my quest for functional windows and locks has been fighting me every step of the way. Napa fails to carry 4 actuators so I will be in a waiting pattern on those. I will have three of the four needed tomorrow and the 4th will wait till Tuesday. I got a new pair of speakers to install while the...

    Wiring woes. I got lucky.

    I am not 100% sure what caused it. Someone could have messed with the harness and failed to clip it back in its original location, causing wires to chafe. It was a logging truck from Oregon so it got beat up pretty good I am certain. I do not believe that this is a common problem area. Sent...

    Wiring woes. I got lucky.

    About a year and a half ago, my truck had a very strong electrical burn smell to it. Not having time I removed the fuse for the door locks and let it be. Tonight I decided to dig into it. The harness connection to the drivers side door was toasted. I decided to simply hard wire it. I made a...

    ATS up pipe leaks revisited.

    I've tried this at least 4 times before with both stove pipe cement and auto store exhaust putty. This time I went about it a different way. I decided to try these two products after much consideration. I bought these at Napa. I also bought some cleaning supplies to prep the mating surfaces...

    Yep, Danielle dropped the Centurion off for a burgundy ass transplant and yesterday I got a seat for Corey. BOOB action in full force. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    I seem to be on a roll lately, bringing home another one.

    Girlfriend wants a dually, a truck without axles is a perfect start. The parts hunt is on. I have a BJ D60 and a disc brake D70 E series dually rear in my sights. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    New truck in the fleet.

    I got some new Federal batteries the other day and put them in. Cranked it over and it didn't sound too good to me, like it had dead cylinders. So, I got some crack in a can today and decided to see if this thing would come to life. It got to the point that it would fire then die right away. I...

    Thanks Mel. She's sitting in the yard now. The guy I bought it from was the 2ND owner. He bought it with 5K miles and used it around town for his landscaping company for some 25 years. It has 91,000 actual miles on it, original pump, injectors and so on. I got a pair of Federal batteries waiting...
