    Towing w/ My IDI

    Thanks all. My neighbor is careful and takes care of the truck when he uses it. He does have the wherewithal to restore anything that might happen while it is in his possession. He is the only driver of my vehicle--his knucklehead son was at the wheel of his 350 both times the axle let...

    Towing w/ My IDI

    Thanks guys. I was mostly worried about pushing the intrinsic towing capacity of the truck even though it just walks away with the load behind it. My neighbor and friend seems to take good care of it, and brings it back shiney clean and full of diesel--and needs it only occasionally...

    Towing w/ My IDI

    Periodically, a neighbor of mine needs to borrow my truck to tow/move a construction waste grinding machine (10,000# w/ pintle hitch) when one of his trucks goes down, or he gets it into a muddy spot. His 6.0 PowerStroke F350 4x4 auto with a dump bed is presently in dry dock with a broken...

    Fuel System Losing Prime

    Fuel filter is not that old--replaced it when I renewed the o-ring that seals the connector for the fuel heater on top of the filter head. Will give the filter a gentle tweak and see if that helps. The fuel lines are five or six years old--something is leaking air alright.....:dunno

    Fuel System Losing Prime

    When parked for over a week in a "nose-up" posture, the truck seems to ingest air. When parked "nose-down" it does not seem to suffer the problem. Anybody else experience that?? Took a bit of cranking yesterday evening and this morning (batteries on the trickle charger all night) to get it...

    65hp

    Either the inspection protocols where you live are waaaaaay different, or the inspectors were knuckleheads...... I agree that having the timing and fuel/air induction looked at would be a good start.....

    65hp

    Dyno'd emissions tests on gas powered vehicles here in Georgia are done at 25 MPH with a 25% load on the powertrain, and a 15 MPH test with a 50% load. We do not test diesels or vehicles with a GVW in excess of 8500# here--at least so far. We read unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and...

    Moosestang HIT!

    If Mel is not carrying collision on the Moostang, he will likely get little help from his insurer--they are not at risk in that circumstance.

    Moosestang HIT!

    Turn the heat up as far as you can. :backoff The insurance company rep will stiff arm you unless you make things uncomfortable for them--simple dollars and cents for them. If PA has small claims court you might consider that as a fall back. You can represent yourself with the facts and...

    Moosestang HIT!

    Second Adrian's recommendation. Ranch Hand stuff is way overbuilt. Glad that you are OK. No accounting for knuckleheads......:backoff

    Navistar stops production of diesels for Ford

    I suppose they have agreed to disagree--Ford quit paying their bill, and Navistar quit sending engines and parts!! It will be interesting to see who flinches first!!

    Sticking Wheels

    I have been running aluminum alloys since my truck was new. A light coat of copper or moly anti-sieze on the face of the wheel and the hub works. Might use a wire brush on both surfaces to clean them up prior to applying the anti-seize. Have removed stuck wheels using a piece of 2X4 and a...

    Mice...

    Ever seen what too many non-migratory Canada geese do to an otherwise pleasant park setting, particularly one with a lake??

    Mice...

    Where do you figure the little buggers got in?? Is there a fresh air intake hole big enough for them to weasel in?? Would a hardware cloth barrier work??

    "Stuck" in Low Range

    Thanks for the lesson. I suspect you may be correct. Since coming out of 4-Lo the that first time, it has smoothly gone back and forth. May have knocked the accumulated scale off. Will put a linkage defunking on the list for when I slide the D60 in sometime this Spring.

    "Stuck" in Low Range

    Will look at the case, hoping to find no "eggs"!! Thanks for your experience.

    "Stuck" in Low Range

    Now unstuck. Doesn't get much Lo Range use. Trick to unstick was to put in 1st, ease out on the clutch while pushing the transfer case lever to the left and forward--out she came!! Mayhaps this will add to the lexicon of sometimes needed knowledge. :)

    "Stuck" in Low Range

    A buddy of mine is using my truck to pull a piece of equipment (constructin debris grinder mounted on a 4 wheel carriage) out of a mudhole. It performed the task admirably in Low Range, but he just called and is having a problem getting the transfer case to move out of low range. He has...
