    Help me with a certain type of Ford L series

    A company near me has a really sweet Ford triaxle. I think it's called an "LTL9000" or maybe "LT9000". Here's something like what I'm talkin' 'bout: http://adcache.trucktraderonline.com/4/2/9/79294129.htm In my opinion, it's a sweet looking truck. It has a much longer nose than an...

    Buddy that works at a local GMC dealer asked me to demo one over lunch with him. Sticker was $61,000, just for the chassis!!! :eek: No body on it. Truck was nice though.

    What's this tractor worth?

    Give me your opinions on this tractor. Read the description. It needs some repairs. It also has 3000+ hours on it. Think that's too many hours to bother with? It's perfect for my york rake, but the hours & repairs needed make me reluctant...

    Air lift axles & FET tax

    Wouldn't it be smart to buy a single axle rated at 33,000lbs to avoid FET then add an airlift axle to boost GVWR so you could get around FET? I know they're not as good as a real tandem, but you can boost GVWR ~15,000 lbs up to about 48,000 lbs and not pay that salty FET they charge for any...

    Is this price for real on Kubota tractors?

    What do you guys think? Everytime I look up Kubota or John Deere on Ebay to look at tractors, I see a prominent ad at the top selling one of these tractors for an impossibly low price. The auctions usually only last 1 or 2 days. The seller always has a different name, yet the ads all have the...

    Air seat switch

    Anyone know who sells them? I have a manual pump up lever on the airseat on my F-450. Since I have an on-board compressor for my SRB locker, I thought I'd use the air compressor to pump the seat up, too and get rid of the manual pump. Any ideas where to get one?

    Most you'd pay for an air dryer

    What's a good price on a Midland Pure Air air dryer? I'm looking at one I think I can get for ~ $125. The best I can get other than that is ~$180-$200. Is Midland any good?

    Parts Needed

    Ok guys, I have an idea. I'm always looking for parts for my M/D. I write down what I need on a tablet, and everytime I hit the salvage yard, I look for new wrecks that might have the parts I need. Maybe you guys do the same thing? :confused: Anyway, if you guys are looking for specific...

    LED lighting

    How expensive is it to upgrade to them? I'll be kicking myself if it's cheap since I just put the new dump on my 4800 and they did standard lights. I thought about doing it, but I had too many other things going on at work, home, etc.

    Wedge brakes

    OK, I know they're universally hated, but I have 'em up front and S-Cams in back. The reason is because the 4x4 front axle hubs don't leave enough room fro S-Cams. I can't figure out how they're adjusted. What do I need to be worried about? I heard horror stories about them, yet they seem to...

    Brake controller lights stay on

    My Teconsha trailer brake lights stay "on" sometimes for days. I notice whenever I back my 4800 into a snowbank or the thing gets a wee bit of moisture inside the socket, I have this problem. Obviously moisture related, but there's no snow or water packed in the socket. Anyone have this...

    Block heaters

    My DT has now started in single digit temps, with no starting aid at all. She was a little smokey & rompy but started like a champ. With that in mind, would I do myself any better by having a block heater? Would my DT be less tempermental when she does turn over after being plugged in? My...

    Alcoas

    If someone wants to add alcoas, they don't have to do the inner rear wheel, right? Just put never-sieze (as was suggested to me by Dondiesel444) to the face of the inner steel wheel and on they go? I wondered if the different types of metals would result in different air pressures...

    Lift axles

    Who's got one on their truck? I have a high side 12' dump on a single axle and I've been kicking around the idea of getting one to increase payload. Any thoughts on them?
