    Oil Cooler Question

    Dad(75) rode the TriGlide from IA to Apache Jct. in October. Upon arrival, he insisted he would NOT be riding it back home, period. So, in October, I told him I'd come out and haul it home. 6 weeks ago my buddy was looking for help getting the van from Flagstaff to VA. Little did I know I'd get...

    Oil Cooler Question

    My intention is to rebuild the cooler off the 6.9 ahead of time to reduce downtime on the '93, which is my daily driver. I appreciate the help. Is there a better tube to use??

    Oil Cooler Question

    Just returned from 3000 mile round trip to Phoenix and Flagstaff to pick up my dad's TriGlide and an AZ shorty Dodge van(for a buddy). My oil cooler is due for maintenance. I've got a 6.9 from my '87 set aside. I was thinking of reconditioning the oil cooler from it for use on the '93 if...

    F26D/E Question

    Made it to Phoenix, Flagstaff, Phoenix and back, 3000 miles in all. 600 miles between fuel stops. Likely the most important thing I did before making this trip. Thank you guys for the responses!!

    Interstate Group 31 blems. Try to find an Interstate distribution center in your area. Only real issue with Group 31s from Interstate, the are considered industrial, which affects warranty.

    F26D/E Question

    I read threads I could find regarding this tank installation. My question: Does anyone here know, after modifying the sender pickup and return pipes with extensions provided in the kit, the distance between the bottom of the tank and the terminal end of the pickup tube where the showerhead would...

    Appreciate all of the replies and opinions. I can't remember a time since I've been old enough to drive(40 years) when trying to get exactly what you want for a reasonable price is such a challenge. And we had real inflation im the early 80's.

    Ordered the Ridge Grapplers 295/75R16 prior to your reply. My wheels are stock 16X7 or I probably would have ordered the AT3s in 315/75R16, as they were $100 less than the same dimension Ridge Grapplers. I didn't really have any issues except lock to lock rub with the TSRs in 315, but decided to...

    Darned. I ordered the the Ridge Grapplers in 295/75R16 just a few hours ago. Guess I'll follow up with my review once their mounted. I'm travelling 2500 miles to Phoenix and back in March. The easiest solution in the future will be to upgrade my 16X7 wheels to 17s or 18s. I decided against the...

    I also have these 16.5s, but don't care for the offset or the challenge of finding similar tires in 16.5.

    The Safari TSR 315/75R16s ride great. Discontinued. The Cooper ST Maxx 255/85R16s suck. I'm trying to move to an AT in a 34-35" diameter, load range D or E. I'm typically at 50-60psi, except when towing.

    I do not understand what BS is going on with 315 ATs, but the Pro Comp AT 315/75R16 are discontinued.

    After consulting with my local Goodyear tire guy, formerly Goodyear distributor for 150 shops, I cannot get Duratracs in 315 or 295 widths, regardless of aspect ratio. After further research I'm down to Cooper AT3 315/75R16, Nitto Ridge Grappler 315/75R16 or Ridge Grappler 295/75R16. My concern...

    The TSRs have been on my Alcoas for 7 years. For 2 winters I have alternated them out for the ST Maxxs(on steel wheels) for better winter weather traction tread pattern. I'll check out the Duratracs.

    Any experience with KOs??

    Safari TSR Blues

    I'm guessing maybe the Wranglers and TSRs are very similar except tread pattern, since both are technically made by Goodyear?? Hadn't really considered that. Thanks!!

    Safari TSR Blues

    I've been running 315/75R16 Safari TSRs for several years. For load range E tires, they ride great. Sadly, they are discontinued. The 255/85R16 Discoverer ST Maxxs I have on now ride extremely rough. I'm searching for suggestions on 35" tires that are a little more forgiving than the Coopers...

    Fuel Pump Woes

    I'm pretty sure I checked my local Ford parts counter, and was told it is obsolete. I'll check again tomorrow.

    Fuel Pump Woes

    In 40 years I have NEVER had fuel leak out of the top mating surfaces of a mechanical fuel pump. I've worked on a lot of junk over this period of time. I've never been compelled to tote around a spare fuel pump. I've got 5 of these trucks, and none have them had a fuel pump fail in this way...

    Fuel Pump Woes

    Did you put the Holley at the tank selector, or further forward?

    Or, order a Duralift.

    Fuel Pump Woes

    So, is it a fact that Airtex owns Carter, and the Carter pump is no better than the Precision brand at O'Reilly's? The pump on the truck now I purchased at my local O'Reilly's 2 years ago, and has a lifetime warranty. I'd pass up the warranty to purchase a superior quality pump.

    Fuel Pump Woes

    Check out this BS. This is a Carter pump I installed new 2 years ago. Time to go with a 12v pump??
