I fill it when it gets down to about 25 gals, which could be as often as every other day on a trip, or every two months when I'm not doing much. Oh yea, a fill is somewhere between 110 and 120 gallons. 134 tank capacity.
While I do not plow, my dually will have a very front end with the addition of my 1/2" plate DeerProof front bumper complete with Warn 15000 winch - a package of about 650 or so lbs. Have had it on several trucks with green keys and Bilsteins, but this time keeping stock Keys and about a 1.5"...
Could care less about looks and covers. Just need to know if it would fit and work. Safe enough as tires are 14 ply 19.5 and heavier than anything on a dually, looks don't matter for a 3,000 mile trip into Mexico, and the rims would be Rickson, which are heavy. Not towing then. So is the...
I have had 5 4X4 1 ton duallys through 1994, then switched to SRW 4X4 for use in Mexico and Guatemala where duallys would not go where I needed, and have gone through 5 of those. Now, with that behind me, considereing going back to dually as 70 of my use is towing collector and classic cars...
265X19.5 14 ply Sumitomo's with 80,000 on them and still about 60% tread left on them. For most people, probably go 150,000. I sell them off at 50% and buy new. Get about 50% of the cost back selling them off because quite a few people want them used and there are none to be found.
Mine gets filled when it needs it - a fill is 110 to 120 gallons at a time. Tanks hold 134 gals, but I never like to run low. Without a trailer, I can go 1800 to 2100 miles without a fill. Pulling my 28' enclosed with two cars in it, I can go about 1200 to 1400 miles without filling. Around...
Done lots of things with it over the years. Best trick in Mexico in the $15 a day or night cockroach whorehouse motels (had garages next to it with tarp on end so you couldn't see what local dignatary was in there screwing his neighbors wife) was to drain it into triple plastic bags in a box...
My 06 LBZ also hit 100,00 a couple of weeks ago and celebrated it with a big bang. Climbing a grade out of Gaviota in CA at about 26,000 lbs after having just turned 100,000 near Santa Barbara, had a loud bang, no power, and tons of black smoke. Pulled over and changed from aux driver to me...
I put a sig in - can I help it if the system does not want to recognize it. As to birth certificate, I am so old they didn't use them then nor was one required when I first sneaked across the border - in 1956 from the USA to Tijuana to see the enticing show at the famed Blue Fox. In those...
July 28 - empty 28' enclosed car hauler from Bend Oregon to Provo area - anything along the route.
Aug1 - empty 28' enclosed car hauler from Ventura Ca back to Bend Oregon - anything up coast to Gilroy or up I-5.

Shouldn't matter to you what is wrong with it until you buy it. If you are paying 900, and the rest of it looks and appears good or OK, you can part it out for close to $3,000. Running or not, it is a win win for you.
I went 265X19.5 14 ply - and since my truck is heavy, they really do not hurt the ride. With 70,000 miles on them, there is about 60% left. No flats, 4,400 load per tire, not one tire problem in 70,000 miles. Haven't had to rebalance either. Fuel mileage actually increased about 1 to 1.5 mpg...
Don't knock modern Mexico production. For the past several years, Mexican built GM products (first letter is 3 of your vin# I think) have had fewer quality and assembly problems than US built stuff. Surburban's have been majorily produced in Mexico and the two I have owned were among the best...
Need a 64 Pontiac Grand Prix P less motor and trans hauled to Bend Oregon or somewhere along I-5 in Oregon or the Redding CA area where I will pickup. Rolls, but no motor nor trans. Car is in Rosemead CA near Pasadena. I can meet with a trailer anywhere from Redding north. Will pay...
Like it or not - cheap oil is a thing of the past, if not for the present generations, it definately will be for future generations. Gone are the days of 19 cent a gallon gas and 10 cents a gallon diesel, as well as 2.00 gas and diesel. Again, like it or not, 5.00 a gal is coming way too soon...
Not just "NO", but "HELL NO". In 46 years of buying New cars, I have bought over 75 new GM cars, about 40 for myself personally, and the rest for my companies. I STRONGLY resent GM ditching the excellent local dealer since 1918 just because he also has Honda, and leaving the only GM dealer 50...
