not sure if I want to start this debate, but why 10-40? I used to run 10-40 in the coldest part of the winter for a little easier starting, but now I just run Rotella 15-40 year round. if it's stupid cold the trucks plugged in.

I beat my truck worse than I beat my kids, but my truck is the only thing that listens and does what it's told without question.

Any vendors here that sell them?

I've got 5000# airbags, 1 ton springs with overloads. I never had trailer sway before when I had enough sidewall to resist it. These new tires are just too soft and flexible, plus being new they have big soft squirmy tread blocks. Also, it only seemed to do it on a certain part of the trip, so I...

thats what I thought. seems like Id have to buy about $700 worth of parts, then shorten up the rear drveshaft. truck seems nice enough that I'd hate to actually part it out. Maybe just drive it for a while then throw it on ebay and make a buck. Although it would be nice to have a GV in my 82...

When I had my yellow Jeep I painted my kids power wheels Jeep yellow to match. While I was putting the lift kit in my Wrangler I looked over and they had the powerwheels Jeep jacked up with my floor jack and were laying under it with some wrenches scattered about. Priceless! The other day I...

Don't know where this belongs, but I thought I'd start here and let the mods kick it where they want it. I just found this, would buy it in a second but I'm not sure if I can use it with a 4wd. It's an 86 2wd 3/4 ton with a 454, th400 and gear vendors overdrive. I think if I bought it I could...

just found this thread again, sorry havent been here in awhile. Buddy what ever happened with your tranny? Have you done the surecure yet? PM me if you still need the reamer. dont know about others experience with surecure, but it absolutely worked for me. I went thru a bunch of attmepts to...

ok thanks

I guess you arent supposed to be on the sidewalk either, but swerving down a busy thoroughfare behind the parked cars, and constantly weaving from side to side so I don't have much room to squeeze past you in a dually towing a big camper is annoying. So annoying in fact, that I hardly feel bad...

yeah I went from limping over the top of the big hills at 35 to ripping over at 58. ATT and KOJO rule!

give it hell Kenny, we're all pulling for you!

Have posted this stuff elsewhere, many of you are familiar but I cant find it right now so I figured I'd start a new one just for an update. Stock my truck struggled to get the camper (33', 4.5 to 5 tons est weight) up the mountains. I was cresting the top at 35 mph and imagining the pistons...

tapped about 8 inches or so after ffm, and yes I have FTB. I guess I'm going to have to pull the FFM back out and see about this screen. After poking around in it before leaving I got a little better, pulled 5-6 lbs most of the way, only hit zero on the WOT long pulls. But on the way home I had...

Filters like new, sock looked fine when I changed the tank last winter. Pumps new, not used. Pulled the filter and tried poking around down in the bottom of the ffm, I think thats the problem cause it gained me a pound, and it takes a little longer for it to drop to zero. Cold starts I have a...

no. I found the ps was low, topped it off and it felt a little better. weird. do you mean the rubber hoses to the calipers? I'll take a look, you think they collapsed?

last time I changed the filter it improved, but I was still able to hit zero easy. I cant afford to change the filter every 500 miles. too late to do anything about it now.

Finally got around to installing the Walbro frb-5 I bought months ago. Pretty disappointed to see no improvement in fuel pressure. Wondering what I could have done wrong. I cut the plug off the lift pump, spliced onto the Walbro, red wire to brown, black to black because that made the most...

?? only drilling I did was at the ffm end.

I've had my truck for so long now, and no payment, I just look at the necessary repairs as being normal. I used to get mad and bitch about the truck falling apart and getting old, but now I just grin and bear it. If I spend a hundred or two on something, I know I probably won't have to worry...
