    Any chance you have a dipstick you could sell me? Just need the stik, not the tube. 48838 is the zip. And it came off a 92. Thanks sir!

    Advice on new suspension for the dually

    That sulastic spring shackle looks extremely intriguing! Have you had any experience with these shackles? Love the concept if that'll hold up over time

    Advice on new suspension for the dually

    I wondered if those stops came on it factory or if someone put them on there. I get no where near my over load spring ever....so yeah maybe I remove them, see how I like the ride, then maybe real airbags eventually! I wanted to throw a 60 under her an make it 4wd but I've decided to perfect the...

    Advice on new suspension for the dually

    Hello again everyone! I think it's finally time I gave the ole girls suspension some love. After my last trip to the U.P last weekend I managed to break one rear leaf spring in half... it has the 4+1 leaf pack with a helper spring above it. Also has what I call redneck airbags in the rear, two...

    Quick n cheap cowl induction how-to

    I have the first gen banks but I already eliminated the giant box. Will be doing a little web searching for a big enough inline I'm satisfied with. The ole girl would LOVE to actually suck some cool air!

    Nicely done, love the idea! May try this myself if I can come up with an inline filter like you have.

    Think I found my duallys limit..

    Yeah I've thought it was a great idea for a while just gotta stop using the trailer to start making something happen! Then mount a generator, water tank an other essentials go in between the two frames of the trailer. Thanks on the direction to go with the tranny sir!

    A superduty would be AMAZING!! Butttt here we are with betty white the wanna be f450! :rock: I'd love to go with a valve body kit if that'll help. Any particular kit you guys use or recommend? I think I've realized not to haul two trucks with it. I've wanted to make it a redneck toy hauler...

    Trans fluid smells and looks great. Been noticing the TC will lock in 2nd or 3rd depending on it's mood with 2nd being most often. Thinking that banks trans commander may be the ticket.. my box an wiring is pretty ugly..

    I've played with my tps to where I was finally happy enough with it. The banks power trans commander has been on my mind but wasn't sure if it was worth it or make much of a difference...

    I have the stock of in the new radiator and a decent sized one in front of that. If my tranny blows I'd love a manual just don't know how much of a hassle/cost an if it'd be worth it. Yes my ole girl is definitely under powered am I believe is gotten worse recently. Even just putting brand new...

    Think I found my duallys limit..

    I didn't think it really was that huge of a load but what do I know. New radiator but the cooling system was terrible. I flushed the hell out of it a year ago an it seems to be much cleaner but maybe she's due for a flush again. The truck just seems a little under powered lately I feel.. maybe...

    It's only 8000ish on the trailer and it's rated for 10,000. It was ment to haul 12 golf carts.... the trailer did well other then being heavy

    Think I found my duallys limit..

    Yeah I went over kill on the trailer that's for sure but I couldn't pass the deal. Guess I should be happy I didn't buy the 53footer instead or the ole girl word really kill me! If I have faith in that truck lasting a while if be more then happy to spend the money on hydros!. I've never driven...

    I'm loving that idea and hearing you had issues like mine! I'll be checking my fan out today! And yes the c6 perspective duhhh! I can't believe I didn't think about these things running before OD came around! Thank you very much for your input sir!!!

    Think I found my duallys limit..

    Alrighty well I'll see about getting the fan clutch off. And yeah I didn't want to run those kind of rpms but my motor seems much more stout an sound then my tranny. I wanna make it 4x4 eventually so maybe I'll keep my eye out for a rebuildable 4x4 trans to swap out once this does bite the bullet

    My only complaint on my hauler is that yes I wanted the zf5. Can't agree more there sir! I'll check to see if she smells burnt aswell

    Think I found my duallys limit..

    I felt like it was dying not using over drive and tilling a little less then 3000rpms. I don't know this motor well enough to let them run that kid of rpms for an extended period of time. It would finally shift after I completely let off the throttle but then I lost all momentum... the tranny...

    Think I found my duallys limit..

    Well over the last year and 25,000mi I've done nothing but love what my thick hip ole girl can do. For buying it out of a farmer's field for 1,000 and fixing some minor things that were neglected it's been a brute! It's very quick unloaded to 60 with the 4.11s in my own opinion! It's almost the...
