No idea. Her mom was born in Fairbanks, her granddad was the mayor of Wasilla at one time, and both her natural dad and her step dad served in WWII, one as a yeoman on a Navy oiler, the other as a Sea Bee in the Pacific. I'm 60, and mine didn't quite make WWII (senior in HS when it ended) but...

My FIL helped build it. :)

Yeah, the problem with anyone else driving across the border is the radios. I'd have to strip them all out and ship them separately because of how the licensing works. I can bring them into Canada because I have reciprocal license privileges there. If someone unlicensed drove the truck across...

I do understand that, absolutely, but I also understand that my truck wouldn't be the only thing they were hauling up there, or shouldn't be at least. And any good trucker or trucking company is going to do everything they can to avoid a deadhead, so they should have a load lined up to go back...

My wife got a job in Anchorage and we're moving up there by September. It's a paid Government move, but they'll only move one vehicle, and mine's too big for them. Got a single quote on uBid for about 3x what it would cost to drive it there so I'm looking to find something better. Bottom line...

Thanks, but I'll continue to abstain. It just seems worded to provoke argument by someone whose mind is already made and who just wants to convince others that any other choice is wrong.

Poll seems rather biased in favor of the anti-vax side. Four choices for not vaxing, one choice in favor that's worded to make you look like an unthinking idiot if you pick it. I'll abstain from this one.

As needed for the conditions, but at least for a mile or two every 3-4 months, even if I have to go find some mud, to keep everything lubed and functional.

I also wouldn't drop money on a new pump (if pulling the relay indicates that as the possible problem) until I checked all the wiring to that pump. Wiring can get damaged awful easy sometimes, road debris, corrosion, pinched by something, and if you just need to fix a grounded wire instead of...

That might be a false assumption to make. Check and see if the A/C relay is still in there. If it is, pull it and then see if the fuse still blows. And the rear tank doesn't really have it's own pump, per se. There's the balance pump, which just pumps from the rear tank to the front tank...

Simple matter to pull the two relays and see if it still blows. If it does, suspect the balance module or one of the fuel sensors. If it doesn't, plug the relays back in one at a time until it does blow and proceed from there.

I've considered bumping them up to 60-65, since the truck is right at its GVWR (weighed it a week ago at the dump and it's 9,950 and rated for 10,000) but the ride is already a bit harsh. I may still do it when I take it in for a rotate and balance next week. And yes, these are LR E, not the D...

I've considered getting a dedicated dashcam, and probably will at some point, but for the time being I'm using an app on my phone to do the job and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. The app uses the phone sensors (GPS, etc.) to detect shocks and location, and adds them to the video. For a...

Injectors replaced a month ago, still only getting 10 mpg and that's got me wondering if the rolling resistance on these could possibly be causing it. I really can't see it though. The B.F. Goodrich's had a much more aggressive tread design than these do. These are closer to an all-season...

Time for an update... I wound up replacing both batteries with a new pair of Deka Ultimates after testing on the Kirkland's showed them to be far weaker than they should have been. (Probably damaged over the summer when my alternator failed) That seemed to have solved the problem, but to help...

Original, as far as I know, so 15 years. (But only 105k miles.) Not saying they don't need changing but there's been no change to the truck's performance, just fuel mileage. Wrong thread for this discussion though.

I just switched to these back in December after getting barely 30K on a set of B.F. Goodrich Commercial T/A Tractions. I liked the BFGs, and they got me into and back out of some places a 5 ton utility truck should never be expected to go (up some washed out "4x4 Only" fire roads in the...

Yeah, I need to put a real meter on it one of these days when I'm not in a hurry to get somewhere, but going by the dash volt meter it's dropping to about 9 volts when the glows are on, rebounds to about 11 when the relay kicks out, and drops to about 8 within the first few cranks. That's after...

Glows and the relay were replaced in Feb of last year. Starter was replaced in 2009 with a high torque. This message is approved by the NSA. If it wasn't, you'd never see it.
