    Got my build sheet from ford! Is this even my truck?

    Anyone know what the camper package consists of? I searched the web but didn't find much. Does anyone know how many rear leaf springs there re on a stock 93 dually? I'm trying to figure out if i have extra leaf springs or not.

    Got my build sheet from ford! Is this even my truck?

    Thanks. I ran the Vin through Autocheck and carfax if that matters and they check out clean. Do you have a vin decoder that you can recommend? The previous owner bought it in 95 and never mentioned to me anything about swapping the cab so I'm not sure if maybe the research dept at Ford messed up...

    Buying rear tires only on a dually

    Thanks for the explanation on the rear diff Andertusa! I will be hauling a 3000 to 3500 lb camper pretty much full time so I hope these new tires don't rub. Each tire is rated at 2680lbs at 80 psi so I'm hoping I'll be ok.

    Just got off the phone with the local Firestone shop and they are going to order me 4 of the destination Mt's load rating E and install them next week. I also told them to keep the best two of the old ones for me to keep as spares. Thanks guys!

    Buying rear tires only on a dually

    Thanks for the replies! I'm going to keep whats on the front for now as they still have a lot of rubber left and will check to see if the Firestone destinations are rated E. If they are rated E then I should have no worries with them flexing and rubbing correct? Also I have the D5 rear axle...

    Well, I took it to the Ford dealership to have the oil and filter changed. I requested that they use the fl 1995 filter and they said they would. 2 hours and $125 later (ouch) I was out of there. I need to find a good reputable diesel mechanic around here who will let me watch as they work on my...

    Just bought a 7.3 IDI. Questions/Details

    Ok so I went home to see if I could find a aux cooler and didn't see anything, but at the same time I'm not really sure where to look.

    Just bought a 7.3 IDI. Questions/Details

    Thanks again! I'll check for the aux trans cooler. Not sure what it looks like but I'll google it. The truck has all the hookups for a trailer including an electronic brake controller so hopefully it has the cooler as well. I'll have the oil and fuel filter changed right away. Looking back over...
