    Bought a beater

    Purchased a 99 ECLB Powerstroke with 400k on the clock. Tranny was just rebuilt for the 5th time 20k miles ago. Has full power and a gooseneck hitch, 4x4 still works good but the body is rough, interior is rough, right outer door handle is missing, and interior light stays on killing the...

    EGR?

They had the truck for a few days and replaced the EGR valve, i paid my $100 and was out the door. The service writer was also...

    Last week when towing home my mini-ex from a job the truck started excessively smoking. I didnt notice it until i got on the hill coming to my home and had the truck at wide open throttle pulling the hill. I was towing around 11k and the hill is fairly steep. I just happened see something out of...

    Which blade?

    A friend of mine and i are looking into starting a joint venture together as well as running our own seperate businesses. We are looking into a very large housing developement to caretake. It is acually four developements but the plowing and sanding come together as one. We both have 2 GM trucks...

    Cheap on gas?

    Probably a repost, how cheap do you figure this is to plow with? Dont be drooling over them lights either Nick, they are one of a kind and can only be found on redneck vehicles.

    ? about Prodigy

    Today was the first time i have towed in the snow with this controller and so far i am not impressed. I adjusted the controller as usual and headed down the hill with about 8k behind me like any other day. I knew it was slippery so i had it in 4X4 and slowed it down a bit. Now, this controller...

    Time for gaskets.

    As some may know i have had a problem with a coolant that the dealer claimed was a loose hose clamp :icon_bs:. Its been using coolant but not as much as before so maybe the clamp was part of the problem but 4 days ago i seemed to have an exhaust tick up front. With the plowing i do and getting...

    Sander

    I finally got my in-bed sander from a friend of mine. His new 8' Salty Dogg came in yesterday so we pulled his old "2.5yrs" 6' Salty Dogg off his truck and set on mine. He paid $4k for his new sander and sold me his for $2k which i thought was a great deal for a stainless unit that he only used...

    Ford?

    A buddy of mine has an 08 F-250 RCLB with the gas guzzling V-10, 9.5' stainless fisher v-plow and 6.5' stainless Salty Dogg in bed sander. He is having traction issues with this combo and i am sure it is the stock rubber. The truck only has 4k on it so it isnt a lack of tread. Problem is Ford as...

    New rubber

    I finally broke down and bought tires for the winter. I bought the Cooper Discovery M/S this time, alot of siping and they have a good reputation in these parts. I ran the Hankook Dynopro M/T's last year and good luck with them for traction but no lifespan at all. I squeezed 23k out of them but...
