Even being low, those are pretty respectable numbers. I'd be very happy with those for my truck while still keeping it a reliable piece. That has always been my #1 thing with this truck with how much I was traveling at the time when I bought it and the miles I could be back to putting on it if I...
Not quite what a lot of you have been pulling, but this is some of the most recent.
Pulling a mini excavator to a job
Pulling five 30-36" wide logs about 3' long of a oak tree
No worries. Didn't mean to come off as pushy. Was just curious. I know work and family come first and it's appreciated everything that you guys do for this site. I know it can be a full time job by itself.
No, it's not necessary to switch the billet shafts, but its something that I have wanted to do since I got the truck when it came to the trans. Where if I were to switch to them, it would be something I wouldn't have to worry about it if I went to a bigger tuner then the Smarty Jr. I'm running...
Actually Pep, that was one of the first things I thought about when I was told it needed to be rebuilt. I wanted to have the TC replaced with something from Suncoast or Diesel Performance Converters. But I would want everything to go along with that, Billet flexplate, input-intermediate-output...
Update:
After a long seven days without my truck, I finally got it back from the dealership yesterday afternoon. And to make it an even longer week without my truck, I was stuck driving a Ford Focus as my rental car. Being behind the wheel of that car just reminded me why I enjoy driving my...
They look really nice and hope the best for them working out for you. I did the same thing when I bought my BFG's, went to their website and put a set of 4 in the shopping cart, but never pulled the trigger. I too would really like to hear good feed back from you about these. And like you said...
Lucky for sure! And guess what? I'll take it with how my luck has been as of lately. :rolleyes5:
I talked with the Service Manager (who I have dealt with in the past, and he has always been more then helpful with me) and he said after the test drive of the truck and then looking at the trans...
I'm getting a new transmission for the truck. Brought the truck in to have the computer part that needs to be replaced because there is a short tha is causing the pass. side headlamp to not work when the low beams are on. I brought up that the trans hadn't been shifting properly for a little...
Welcome to The Truck Stop! Enjoy your stay. You already know you can get elbow deep in 6.5 knowledge on this site. It's the best site on the web for anyone looking for help with their truck.
That looks like way too much fun Vinny! :thumbsup: I wouldn't mind taking a ride up your way this summer if that's running around by you. Looks like a lot of work, but well worth it for sure. What engine does that have in it? What kind of horsepower will it be at when all said and done?
Looks like a fun project to work on with the boys! Keep the pictures coming. You will for sure get some look when that bus is rolling down the road! Good luck!
Being in the tree business, we'll be going through our older chainsaw left and right. The older chainsaws will only last a few months. Saws that have lasted 10-20 years won't last 10-20 months. Think of all the expenses it will be to replace over a dozen Stihl chainsaws to keep the business up...
