    2017 Oilburners Rally

    OK I need a headcount for folks going to the Maker's Mark Distillery on Monday. The largest group they can have on one tour is 46. So, if more than 46 are planning on going, they will split us into two groups. So, if you are planning on doing the distillery, please post it here and how many...

    2017 Oilburners Rally

    Elijah - the bathhouse next to the office is clean and nice. Just the bathrooms near the pool are less than ideal. Didn't get to get into the cabins as they were all full all weekend. LOL Not a bad sign. Heath

    2017 Oilburners Rally

    Oh and the F450...... well, let me say it was not impressed with the camper. I could hear it screaming.... give me a real load, this is kids stuff. It was impressive. Set the cruise at 70 and just sit in the seat and enjoy the ride. MPG wasn't impressive. 9 MPG on the way there. 10 MPG on...

    2017 Oilburners Rally

    Alex, Jared...... hang in there. Murphy sucks and has bitten me more than once pre-rally. Mike, it went great. Loved the campground. Positives: Small campground but good size campsites. The furthest site is not far at all from anywhere in the campground. Bathhouse is close to the cabins...

    Failing brake booster?

    Had stiff brakes in the crew cab last year. Pump was getting weak, but the vacuum line going into the cab was my biggest issue. It was broken and I didn't know it until after I swapped the pump out. Fixed the vacuum line and all was right with the world. Not 100%, but every time I've had a...

    Trying to figure out what axle I have.

    Never been of fan of the TTB. Dana 60 had been under my F250 for 11 years. Can't see any reason why I'd ever go back. In my opinion, it beats the TTB Dana 50 in all categories. There is a reason Ford abandoned the TTB and still puts Dana 60's under their trucks in 2017. Heath

    IDI build with C-rings update!

    I doubt it is the same fella. Eric started this engine once (posted here 6 years ago, and same in the CL ad). Would be a shame for this engine to go to waste. Heath

    Turbo Identification Help

    Couple a members here can help you out. Russ (typ4) and Mel (Agnem) can rebuilt it for ya. Their handle is after their name. Just search for their handle and send them a message. Mel is closer to ya. He's in PA as well. Both are stand up guys and will treat you and your turbo right. Heath

    IDI build with C-rings update!

    Wow! It's been a long time since Eric was on here posting about his engine. Sleeved down to 6.9, hypermax c-rings and gaskets...... Lots of love and $$$$ in that IDI. Heath

    Slave cylinder travel.

    Both my IDI rigs are in the shop, but I can run out there tonight and have missy smash the clutch while I measure it if you don't get it before. Lord knows when I'll get out of the office today. LOL Heath

    Just how important is GVWR in these old trucks..?

    No I didn't. Some insurance companies in KY will try and force a commercial policy on anything 1 ton or higher. Gotta know your agent and if they will simply do a little work, they'll find that you don't need commercial policies just because the truck is often used for business. Lots of light...

    2017 Oilburners Rally

    Less than a month to go ladies and gentlemen. The family and I will be doing a recon camp at ECC this weekend. Gotta dewinterize the camper and give the F450 its first real tug job. LOL I'll get all the site assignments from the campground and see what if anything can be done about the full...

    Just how important is GVWR in these old trucks..?

    I'm vote three for the F450. That's what I did.... just a newer version. I need to be able to safely and legally haul close 30K (Case 1150C and trailer). My tractor isn't nearly as heavy, but still more than I should be fooling with behind a SRW F350. The F450's (new and old) are a big step...

    Just how important is GVWR in these old trucks..?

    This is where the turd gets into the punch bowl and ruins the party. Insurance company will void your policy and you're left holding the heavy burden of liability. This would be my only concern. Heath

    This Oil Burners forum is GREAT

    Yup, good crew of guys. The knuckleheads don't hang around long. Calvin, Scott, Ron, and the rest of key holders are top notch. Thanks fella's. Heath

    project: watch out Kentuckians

    I gotta figure out a way get my Dad's bike to the rally. Can't put it in the bed of the F450 with the 5'er hooked up. Maybe have Missy haul it behind her rig. Reminds me.... still haven't taken my MC permit test.LOL Heath

    2017 Rally Route / Convoy thread (east coasters)

    Having traveled to rallies in PA from KY on both the above routes..... I would not run through WV/MD again. From PA, I'd run east to 70 in OH then down from Columbus to Cincinnati. Having hauled my camper through that route, it was much more manageable with an IDI under the hood. Gotta...
