    If your truck is vibrating this might be the culprit

    Here's a nice carnage picture for y'all. This was in my '03. Had a hell of a vibration from 1750-2250 under light throttle. Carrier bearing was bad so I replaced it and the u-joints. The crack is about 2/3 of the way around and is wide enough to see daylight through. $4000 later I...

    FS: 1st Gen Dodge Cummins

    Located near Baton Rouge. Truck is in great shape. Just don't need it since I upgraded to a crew cab Powerstroke. Here's a link to the Craigslist ad for it. Asking $6k but open to reasonable offers. http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/3325346755.html

    Back in a Powestroke

    Well guys, I've been away for quite a while but I'm back piloting a Powerstroke. Picked this up today: It's a '03 F250 Lariat with a 7.3. Interior looks brand new and the undercarriage is clean. Mileage is 175k and I picked it up for $8000 after trading in the wife's Z71.

    Looking at a '05 Passat GLS TDI

    Looking at a '04 Passat GLS TDI Fellers, I'm in need of a reliable commuter vehicle for me to go to the plant in as well as have room enough for the wifey and the 2 kiddos. We've pretty much settled on the Passat and I'm going to test drive one tomorrow morning after I wake up. The one I've...

    Got the "New" 5th Wheel

    Went to pick up the 5th wheel that was given to me. It's a 2000 Fleetwood Prowler LS 30 5x; here's one for sale in NJ that's very similar: http://www.campingworldofnewjersey.com/fifth-wheel/2000/fleetwood-prowler/133144 It definitely needs work since the fiberglass panel on the front left...

    366 is In

    List if you're looking to do a cheap (although a pain in the ass to install) mod this is the one. Throttle response is much better, smoke is better, and torque comes on instantly. Best mod yet. And the fact that my speed and power doesn't start petering out at 75 is also good. Got it up to...

    New Brake Controller

    Went to Camping World near the house today and get a new brake controller installed. The Tekonsha Voyager that came in the truck hasn't every worked, and since it's 95% likely that I'm getting a 5th wheel given to me next week (needs A/C, roof repairs, new tires, and maybe more) I figured it...

    Junkyard Find - Almost Complete '92 D250 CC LE

    If anyone is interested in some parts, I found a '92 D250 Club Cab LE in a junkyard this afternoon. Mileage was 219,xxx with the auto. Still has the trannie and Cummins in it, though some of the accessories like the water pump and radiator are gone. Intercooler is still in place as well but...

    Feeler - 1993 D350 CC LE

    Putting a feeler out on my 1993 D350 CC LE. Thinking about selling it so that we can get a more family-friendly vehicle and since this truck doesn't get driven much, someone else may need it and be able to give it a better home. Drivetrain is the Cummins with G360 and 3.55 ratio D70 with the...

    New Paint on the Old Girl

    First I just wanted to say hey to everyone. Got laid off at work back in July and sold my house in MS at the same time. Went to work on a shut-down workign 7 12's for a month. Then went on vacation to Gatlinburg, TN and got back the other night. So needless to say I've been a bit remiss in...

    Gage Pod

    Anyone know of a source for a 3 gauge dash pod? Seems like I've seen 3-gauge dash pods somewhere before but for the life of me I can't find one at all. I'm trying to avoid a 2-gauge A-pillar mount and a cup for the tach on the dash next to it. Or, conversely, can I retrofit a single gauge...

    4x4 Shifter Retrofit Question

    Question: Has anyone with the new 99-current body GM trucks tried to retro-fit the 89-99 GM 4x4 shifter housing? The reason I'm asking is because I was really fond of the old housing with the 4x4 graphic that showed the front wheels engaging that was also illuminated (maybe when in 4-wheel but...

    Crew Conversion Info

    I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for so I thought I'd ask. A. Did Dodge make a crew cab 4x4 250 or 350 in the '85 and older trucks? I've seen several 2wd D350s and there is an article in the Dec 07 Diesel Power mag of a W250 CC LWB conversion. I'm gonna need the 4-doors...

    Reliability and Economy of the pre-'99 Stroke

    The sife and I have been talking recently about the best solution to our growing family. With the little one sure here in March, we're considering the vehicle situation to try and determine what would work best for the family. She asked me what I thought would be the best all around vehicle...

    Fuel Filler Neck Problem

    Since I bought my '93 I had trouble filling the tank. I could never use any of the big rig pumps and the little auto pump would foam badly even if I only partially cracked the valve. Tonight I took my filler neck apart and figured out why. The factory foll over valve ball was only the...

    Fuel Filler Woes

    Did a search and didn't find what I was looking for so I thought I'd ask. My '93 truck takes FOREVER to fill up at a station. When dispensing the fuel, the foam backs up the neck and shuts off the nozzle. If I hold loose on it and pump slowly then I can get it to fill. I'm sure there's a...

    Determining Rear Axle Ratio

    I'm going to look at a truck this evening and I need to figure out how to determine the rear end ratio. If I remember right, these trucks came with a 4.10 and 3.73 (or was it still 3.55s in these trucks?) How can I tell which? The truck is a '97 F350 S'cab DRW 2wd. It's supposed to be a PSD...

    Might Be Getting Another Oilburner

    Me and the wife are going to be buying some land soon and we will likely have to upgrade the truck. I like my half ton but it's not going to cut the mustard when it comes to hauling livestock and equipment for the farm. Plus the truck will be registered as a farm truck and it's easier to write...

    Trying to diagnose

    OK here's the deal. Here at my current job I'm the fleet manager (among other things.) We have (2) '00 F350 7.3L, (1) 99.5 7.3L and (1) '05 6.0. There was another '05 but it was such a POS that Ford boguht it back. All of these trucks except one of the 7.3's are leased through Enterprise...

    Ambulance Hose

    Since I"m about to make a long road trip through the desert, I want to change my upper radiator hose to the ambulance style that uses the notch on the front of the engine. Why FoMoCo decided to run the upper hose through the serpentine belt is just beyond me. If I grenade the belt on the road...
