As you know, I have a 97 k3500 dually with most all the goodies. It is running strong and holding up pretty well considering it's a plowtruck. I am hoping it will last forever. I am curious though, I've always got my eyes open for a diesel Sub, and I may have found one with the typical "won't...

I wish these posts had a "like" button like Facebook, so we could just click like on comments like Kennys ChrisK comment. Haha

so the 99 stayed home because of a ripped cv boot? I had a ripped boot, clean in two, drove it every day and plowed two seasons with it before it started hinting at making noises. I had spares at home (thanks Joey D!) so I just left it alone. Couldn't believe how long it lasted after the grease...

Well since he clarified that his old springs are not only shot, they are misaligned and so forth, so they really do need to be replaced. So that means new springs. I'd stay away from junkyard springs, I've used them before but you never really know what you're getting, how much life they have...

if it runs you've got too much paint on the roller. The 4 inch fine foam rollers are available everywhere. I run it through the paint in the pan, then put it up on the ramp part of the pan and squeeze out just a bit, but not really ringing it out. As long as it's not dripping off the roller it's...

slopped a little paint on the roof today. also coat number two on the drivers side. The next to last picture is of the roof with one coat, it looks like it's half done because of the reflection of the sky in it. From up close and at the right angle you can see through the one thin coat, but I...

mines under the rear seat. couldn't find anywhere to put the gauge/controller, so its on the passenger side under the dash. I can barely reach it, but usually my 5 y/o copilot is happy to help. I've been wanting a pillar gauge panel forever, I've got gauges scattered all over the damn place..but...

Check with a truck company, they'll know because working commercial trucks are always needing springs. We have a big spring shop here in NH that specializes in heavy commercial, but the also have everything for little trucks too. I just walked in the other day and got u-bolts for lifting the...

this is what I'm doing for wheels. I may switch them around with the other 1 ton, it's got stainless simulators and Chevy centercaps. But for now I like it on this truck. Last picture is of the roof as it looks right now. Paints baked off, then primer, and in some places bare metal with surface...

Well, havent been back for a while. My 97 got totalled and I bought it back, put a new bed on it which was blue. I scuffed it with 180, laid down two coats of thinned black rustoleum, and thats as far as Igot with it. It needs wetsanding and a couple more coats, but I've just been driving it...

F150 boy tried needling me again today, we were all working at the grass drags and parked in a farm field. I parked at the end and there wasnt room so I just put the left side in the ditch. He told me if I couldnt get out he'd hook up and pull me out with his Ford. What are you kidding, I can...

Whole system seems tight, but I've got a pretty good leak at the turbo clamp. Checked and it's all still tight, can't see why it's decided to leak there. Not real old, less than two years. Not rotted I don't think. I think I'm going to have to take the clamp off and pull it apart to see. That...

just had to add this here..friend just got a new F350 gasser, made a remark about dragging my truck out of the way, and I said with what? Your Ford? Everybody laughed then this old man turns around and says he can drag my truck with his Toyota Tacoma. (He's known as a BS artist) So I tell him to...

thats awesome! talk about a sleeper. I bet he's still trying to figure out what the hell happened.

another good point, I am so accustomed to diesels now I love making my power at low rpms. When I wind out my company car it feels like its screaming at 6000, but it didn't get from idle to 6000 all that fast, it just sounds like it. Mine will accomplish the same thing in nearly the same amount...

I agree for the most part. Not sure which motor he has, but Ford.com says 9800lbs for 5.0 motor, 360hp/380tq, and 11,300lbs (yeah,right) with 6.2 motor 411hp/434 tq. Even if those numbers are skewed just to sell trucks, they no doubt have enough power to pull a big trailer, and they come with a...

mines from Advance Auto also, forget what brand. Didnt see the post until after I put it all together. Not going to pull it again to check that. Just have to keep my fingers crossed, which is how I drive all the time anyway. Seems to have fixed the problem, and after a few days my fuel pressure...

its a really easy job, actually. undo the fuel filler, the plug for the sender, then undo the two straps and lower it with a jack. I've done it on the ground with a jack, last time was nice having a lift. Unhooked everything then lifted the truck up and the tank stayed (rolled a toolbox under...

I told him today I wouldn't trade him my truck for his even if he were to keep making the payments. He laughed and said neither would he.

Maybe this belongs in smack talk, but all my blood brothers are here. I have been the victim of smack talk at work. A coworker has a 2011 F150 ccsb 4x4 Lariat, fully loaded with everything imaginable, beautiful color and chrome 20" factory wheels. So now he's saying my truck is a bone and I...
