    Anybody near Oshkosh, Wisconsin?

    Typ4, Russ, has a core support for me and hes made it as far as Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Looking for the BOOB express to maybe relay it for me and possibly get it to the Grand Rapids, Michigan area by fall. Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Design for a 3,000 W inverter install.

    I am designing a system to utilize a 3,000W inverter. Here is a picture of my design. Two group 27 deep cycle batteries so you don't have to rely on the trucks batteries. Solar charging capabilities backed up with a keyed on continuous duty solenoid to tap into the trucks charging system only...

    Rally driving recap

    So, last September, I installed a new 093 cross over and up pipes from Typ4. Prior to, 9psi is all I ever saw, even after I used stove pipe cement to seal the mating surfaces. Fast forward 9 months and hook up a 9500lb bunk house double slide, she tows much better. I averaged 65mph but the...

    Trucking along.

    Haven't posted nearly enough so I just thought I'd check in. I've had this old IDI for over 10 years now. I went through hell putting 3 different engines in her and wasting countless dollars. Word of advice, if you like the truck, don't give up on it. Thanks to people on this site, she has been...

    IDI as a stationary power unit.

    Has anyone used an IDI for a stationary power plant? I may be getting a saw mill that's powered by a 65 hp V4 Wisconsin. Problem is, the engine drives the mill off of the operators side currently via belt drive and you have to walk around it to move the cut boards. My thought is to put an IDI...

    Anybody in the Austin, TX area willing to look at a truck?

    I have a family member looking for a truck. Hes narrowed it down to a crew cab long bed 4x4 5 speed diesel. He found this one while looking. I figured I'd ask if anyone is close enough to check it out if things get serious...

    F-Superduty rear brake hoses

    I decided to bring out the Superduty tonight and replace the rear brake lines. Come to find out the hoses and lines that go across the rear axle are one piece units from the factory. Napa has the left one as a one piece unit but the right one comes as a hose with a banjo bolt connection on one...

    IDI powered chipper.

    My old chipper has a 2.3 Lima engine and a broke indeed system. I found this newer chipper with a blown Perkins Super cheap. The immediate plan is to put my running 2.3 on it to have something to use. I had the brainstorm to put an IDI on it. Even a N/A engine would be a beast on a 12" chipper...

    Walked outside to see my truck on fire last night.

    Good thing I decided to go outside last night and good thing my truck houses a fire extinguisher. I walked out the front door and fire was coming out from the passenger side wheel well. Quick thinking and good reaction had the fire extinguished in about 30 seconds. Inspection today reveals that...

    Picked up a plow for my F-Superduty

    I picked up a 9' Meyers power angle plow complete with everything but lights. Need some elbow grease but I think I did good at $200. I think I'm going to put this together for a plow truck this winter. The truck needs quite a bit of work. -Both windows are off their tracks. -glow plugs -new...

    100,000 miles later.

    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...

    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...

    New truck in the fleet.

    I couldn't help myself, saw this nice F-Superduty and had to have it. The owner says it has engine issues. I'm guessing batteries, return lines and glow plugs. I should have some time to tinker with it this weekend. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Tapatalk

    I got a Brownie!

    Yep, after drooling over Rob's truck since I joined the page, I got a 6041 Brownie box, and members from the BOOB community made it happen. The Dog Catcher texted me a pic of this beauty earlier this week. Come to find out, Billy Tressler had it and I just happened to be working in Rockford...

    10.25 SRW rear axle swap. Input appreciated.

    OK, here's my deal. I currently have a 1991 F350 SRW. The drum brakes are shot. I bought a 1999 F350 cab and chassis for a parts truck and both have 4:10 limited slip axles. I really want to swap in the 10.5 to get rear discs with an E brake. I know the spring perches will need to be moved...

I pulled the trigger on a 3.5" PMF RSK kit tonight to go with a set of Superduty front leaf springs I...
