Wonder if this truck will break the average 2 year truck lifespan with me haha. 1999 F350 4x4 with 7.3 powerstroke and 4 speed auto. Trans was rebuilt about 15k miles ago, has 300k miles on the chassis but honestly less blowby than the 6.5 in the HD had when it was healthy. Behaves stock with...

Companion to the 95 3500HD, found this truck that covers the 3 main issues the HD has. 4x4, a back seat, and offroad traction. This truck can make it up my driveway without spinning the tires!!! Say hello to this truck, 95 3500. 454 tbi, nv4500, 4x4. Original owner used it to haul a camper...

With the older medium duty truck covering the heavy tow rig requirements I'm thinking about getting a Canyon with the 2.8. Crew cab, 4x4 to cover daily driving, some offroad, and maybe occasional light towing. Not really interested in the 1/2 ton market.

Yes there are better turbos out there, not the focus of this thread. Considering upgrading the stock GM turbo on my 95 3500hd for some better performance while keeping it on a budget. The truck is used to tow heavy, between 15k-26k combined weight. Curious if the turbo master and wicked wheel...

Stumbled across this truck on the local ads and couldn't pass it up. 1995 C3500HD with 6.5 diesel/NV4500. Pretty low miles at a little over 141k, had been used as a electricians truck. New batts and it fired up, mostly good on the test drive. ABS light on, constant clicking noise from the area...

Starting to do some looking around and wanting guidance on this. What size tractor would be the best for up to 5 acres of general use land? Uses for the tractor would be mowing, digging, snow plow, and lifting are the main things I'm thinking of. Older equipment doesn't bother me as long as...

These deals popping up lately have been too tempting haha. After realizing that the 9ft service bed on my truck was too small for all my tools, and was killing my fuel economy, decided that moving the tools to a trailer would be the best option. Lucked out and found this 11ft Reading bed for...

Picked this up yesterday (literally). Not sure yet if I'll keep it to become the rock crawler or fix/flip for cash. 1984 M1009 (k5 blazer) with a 6.2 diesel, th400 trans, np208 tcase, and 3.08 axle gears. Sitting on worn out 33" tires with some rust issues on the body and the wiring partially...

Admittedly I've never been the biggest fan of auto transmissions. Considering that the truck currently has a good th400 in it and that my knee is only going to get worse over time, figure that staying auto isn't a bad idea. As a side note the current th400 doesn't coast when decelerating like...

Well missed my old 87 crew cab and have been looking for a truck that is tough enough to survive me for a long time. Finally found one. 1982 GMC k30 crew cab dually with 6.2/th400/np205. Mechanically it needs a new CDR valve, oil dipstick tube resecured, and the AC system fixed but that's it...

Figured I'd start a new thread for this truck. Summer of 2015 I moved up to Utah and found out a friend of mine had bought a M816, military 5 ton wrecker that needed lots of work. Over the next couple months helped when I could and we got the truck running and made the crane operational again by...

Picked up a 1982 k20 a few weeks ago with the 6.2, th400, np208 drivetrain and around 135k miles. Rigged the glow plug controller to a push button, just replaced the upper radiator hose due to a pinhole leak (temp got to 225 for a short time). Have a power steering fluid leak from the...

Changed the fuel filter on the duramax last weekend and can't get the fuel system to stay primed. Last time I changed the filter I removed the air bleed screw, turned the ignition on to cycle the lift pump and after a few seconds all is well. Tried that this time with no luck. Tried pumping...

Picked it up a little over a week ago. Good, solid truck that needed a little brake work but was ready to roll. Drove it a little over 330 miles home through west Texas. 1971 model that was rebuilt in 92, still has the multifuel engine with the turbo. All stock, even the Ndt tires lol...

Changed the oil and filter a few months ago on my 05 LLY. Made a remote mount filter setup (about 10" away so not very far, on the frame rail) to run a CAT high efficiency filter. Oil pressure until I warm up is about 60psi. Once warmed up at Idle I drop to about 25-30psi, soon as I touch...

Having an odd problem with my headlights in the 05 2500hd. 2 days ago we were hit by some freezing weather and ice and one of my headlights refused to turn on. Now today (same temps) my daytime running lights are out as well. Lights flick in for a moment when I turn the light switch on but...

Been thinking about getting a truck lately to help out my parents who live about 8 hours away. Found a 2004 chevy 2500 reg cab long bed, guy is asking 8k. Duramax/Allison combo with 155k miles, looks to be in pretty good shape. Curious what to look out for when (if) I go take a look at it...

Has anyone else been looking into this recently? Figure with the amount of veggy oil that you get from the Spirulina strain, roughly 40%, that it would make a great fuel source.

with a travel trailer that hangs over a 5th wheel or goosneck hitch, how far away from the cab of the truck does the hitch need to be? 3ft? 4ft?

Alright well here goes, starting from the bottom and building all the way up. The truck is my 1987 chevy k30, I'm the 2nd owner. Original owner for the most part had it as a toy, pulled a 2 horse trailer from time to time and that was about it so nothing difficult for this truck. The flatbed...
