    Looking for my first truck Nashville, TN

    I understand the quad cab and 12v, it just seems like you could buy a newer model truck and swap pumps and still be to the good $$wise for what some want for the ultra rare, hard to find, 10 year old truck. again a cummins newb here so be gentle ;p

    Looking for my first truck Nashville, TN

    Barry, did you see the 98 12V that just sold on TOR? I'm a newb when it comes to the cummins/dodge stuff, but it just seems like some think their 98 12V models are worth awhole lot. I understand the 12V and 4 dorrs, but dang.

    Brakes

    I understand your stance on this, but to me my time is very valuable. I don't want to put rotors on once year, even if there free. I don't want the down time to swap pads out, just because they're free. My old oilburner has enough issues as it is, without worrying did I make the right decision...

    Brakes

    I completely understand the $$ side of things, BUT those chepo pads from Vatozone will cost you money in the long run. My experience with them has been that they do not dissipate heat well and ended up costing me rotors in the end. Since I started using quality name brand pads, I do not warp...

    too bad you're so far away. I've built several bumpers for just material, just to get the free "advertising"

    You'll be fine with just 285's. Here's my ole girl with 37" tires, stock springs and just a touch trimmed off the front fender radius. Oh and usual with the hood up. :mad: LOL

    Ok I'll keep on hunting. Do you know the OE size offhand? I'm gonna go search and see what I find

    rear end gear changes, How hard?

    Don't waste your money on "setup" bearings. Just grab an old pair and take a brake hone to them. You want them to be snug, but able to be removed with a mallet/rubber faced hammer. Some like them loose, I prefer them the way I described. Ford 60's don't have a carrier break if I recall, it's...

    Let's talk intercoolers

    I've been watching/looking to catch a intercooler for a good price for my 12V Gen2 swap. I don't have a stock dodge or Ford intercooler to have a reference size to compare? Does any have those measurements so that I know what I'm working with? I found an intercooler that came off a...

    What to do first with engine still on the stand??

    Well ideally I want to be able to pull appx 10k pounds, 2 trail toys weighing appx. 4500-5000 lbs a piece on the ole 40' goose. Now this will not be an every weekend thing, at the most 3-5 times a year. On average all the truck will see is about 6000-6500 lbs 2-3 times a month. That's one trail...

    Glow Plug Controllers

    One of the better mods I performed on my truck, was to bypass the EXPENSIVE controller and run them manually

    What to do first with engine still on the stand??

    Thanks for checking. I looks like it's gonna be a tight fit getting the intercooler behind the grille and infront of the AC. I guess I'll find out when I start assembling everything. I think I'm gonna pull the front clip when I do this mod and then starting placing everything back as I go.

    What to do first with engine still on the stand??

    Whatever I can stir up. I'm open to anything right now, seeing as I don't have one. I'd even consider one that's in need of a rebuild for a fair price. I'm currently shopping for one :D

    What to do first with engine still on the stand??

    When do you throw in the towel?? 6.9 woes

    ;Sweet great idea. Ashamed to say I didn't think of that. I still have a few projects lined up before the ole ford gets wrenched on. My trail rig needs alittle love, I have to finish the tube fenders on my toyhauler trailer, and my DD needs some lite maintence. Oh yea and I'm gutting/cleaning...

    When do you throw in the towel?? 6.9 woes

    Well i got the 5.9 home and into the shop lastnight. I still gotta unload it and get it on a stand. I'm kinda on hold for the time being, till I get an offer on the 6.9. I hate to pull and it not let the new owner hear/see it run. I can't wait to get started, but have a long list of things to...

    When do you throw in the towel?? 6.9 woes

    That's good to know, I've been calling it the wrong thing then. It's out of a 94-95 model. Everything I have heard and read says the opposite of that about the getrag. That's good to hear though, they have a bad rap around here. So maybe I can find one at a good price then.

    When do you throw in the towel?? 6.9 woes

    Well the deal is made, I just have to go get the 5.9. It's working out for both parties, he needs/wants a set of axles I have and I'd like to have the engine, so both parties should be pleased. I like doing business this way. I'm stoked to find one so quick. Now can anyone give me a ballpark...
