    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    Your dodge is a 2001, is it auto, 4500, or 5600? Is it a LATE 2001, look under it and see if it has the CAD front axle. My ‘02 had all 3rd Gen underpinnings. (2003+) If you need unit bearings, a free spin kit may be worth it if you like 2-low. (I do, but I live on a side hill) If you need...

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    My thoughts: Fords are more durable, body thicker steel, idi is definitely quieter than even a 24v. You live in ME, rust and cold. You want a pickup you can pull with, and beat up. Sell the Ford to someone who will love it before rust sets in. Get the dodge road worthy since you will use it...

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    @The_Josh_Bear nailed it, listen to him. Rear drums work when adjusted properly, you prolly have 13”x3” shoes, compare that too a disc setup. Plus have the factory load adjuster working that biases even more towards the rear. The down fall to drums is their ability to shed heat once hot. To...

    Another tire size question...

    I’m personally a big fan of 255/85-r16. But I know options are becoming extremely limited in that size and more expensive. The K02’s still carry that size but spendy. But on older vehicles I prefer the 33” pizza cutter look with stock steels and dog dishes over wider. I think with your C6...

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    Do you and your 5 kids prefer to be in 1 car or 2? Is your trailer a bumper pull or gooseneck? What about selling all and getting an expedition max with the 3.5EB? Just thinking outside the box. Cause the above know better than me!!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Took Wally on a trip to the pumpkin patch. 110 miles RT. Exercised the AC. Ran beautifully.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    We are at $4.34/gal diesel. 3.73/gas Big oil gets our tax dollars through subsidies and they get it at the pump. And then a portion of the road tax....goes back to big oil!! No matter who is in office. Least they have 7-trillion in subsidies.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Or what about those single oblong nuts that have the triangles cast in them....? Would one of those work or be too much of a pain vs the double nut? My local Ace (17 miles) have the oblong (not round) ones for sale....

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    @Jesus Freak i ask because I still have a mechanical fuel pump with a Napa Carter that travels along as a back up. For the record, I wanna be a weird fuel guy just like you!! Honestly I do, but I have so much on my plate that I cannot add another endeavor. And I have friends that own mechanic...

    Random surging while driving

    Someone go get it!!!

    I see the blue one with the bale bed was spray painted over the rust. That white one sure looks clean for NE. I like it, and a turbo!! I wonder how much rust they are covering up. All fit the bill of what I’d want. Something like this just screams move it I’m working here... I’d buy them...

    Random surging while driving

    IF I’m following you correctly, are you sure the hardline from your lift pump to the filter head is your culprit? Have you tried just running a Jerry can straight to the lift pump and see if you surging issues still happen... Or are you doing upgrades as you solve your surging? I ended up...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    When I was coming back from South Dakota. Big Springs NE has a Love's or Flying J Truck stop and across the road was an old Sinclair Truck Stop. Diesel was 55 cents cheaper at the Sinclair. The Loves was packed. I looked at the Sinclair and saw 5 cattle haulers filling and that was enough to...

    Timing, VCDS, and blah blah computers update

    Awesome to hear. As long as the timing is in the range, then I’d check mileage before adjusting again, or follow the procedure above. Nice job!!! Now come do mine!! Except I need to do a BSM delete as well in 8k miles

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    I’m still stuck on the 23-25....how did you manage that? Mind telling us your secrets, or your driving scenarios/conditions that would result in such great numbers? I get 17 locally in my van and I think I have near perfect conditions. Man I need to get off my rear and time mine though. Are...
