    Losing Coolant When Towing

    i don't recommend firestone bags anymore after a bad experience, if i were you i would get a set of 3500 mason dump springs and overload bump stops. the only problem you will run into is your short bed frame does not have the pre drilled holes for the overload bumpstops. you will have to...

    Home heating oil as a alternative fuel?

    Tax evasion... punishable by $10,000 fine and prison time.... Will it work? Yes if you make sure that the quality of the fuel is good and filtered very well. If you get just one bad tank you can grenade a motor. More lubrication? Yes, no argument there. More BTU's? Not sure but ULSD has a...

    Southern outlaw diesel event, Bradenton Fl Feb 23-25

    unless tim changed his mind they were complete assholes. hertz had a military discount program and they were refusing to let him take advantage of it. fought on the phone for quite a while until somebody higher up the food chain at hertz said ok. and believe me we paid for it... the...

    Thanks Mike I had it split before I even read your post, Bill came by and gave me a hand. An engine hoist and some concrete blocks to support the tractor half worked perfect. New motor should be arriving tomorrow if all goes to plan.

    Katzkin covers

    Thats why I did not and will not. I am not trying to steal anybodies thunder here. I get good deals. My only intent is to pass them on to decent folks who are interested but don't want to pay full sticker. If the mods feel that this thread is out of line then please feel free to delete it...

    it probably weighs in just about 175-225# (hard to tell because it is so awkward to lift)and it does have a cutting edge on it (tough to see in the video) and yes it does angle though in order to use the anglle i am definitly going to need a little front weight to stop the front tires from...
