    Waterproofing an '08 Dodge Ram 3500 for River crossings?

    They don't sell ULSD south of the border. Not saying it can't be done, but it is a risk, and something that would concern more than if I had a 'snorkel.' "song of the road" whose truck the OP was asking about I do not believe did anything besides stock and they managed just fine so far. I don't...

    Waterproofing an '08 Dodge Ram 3500 for River crossings?

    I would probably be more worried about driving down there in a truck that needs ULSD, than if you needed a snorkel or not. Very many people on here and else where spend a ton of money on snorkels, shovels, all the expo gear they think they need to get the "look" right, and never end up taking...

    People always ask me why I stick with Ford.

    I know they sold a lot of 6.ohhs. I see a lot of them around here for sale and cheap, along with the 6.4. Some have been quote "bullet proofed" where the owner spend over 5 grand on upgrades only to blow another head gasket. If they wanted a 'bulletproof' ford they should have called...

    People always ask me why I stick with Ford.

    Was it the Aisen transmission that he blew up? What was he doing to blow it up? Lots of bad drivers out there, and the Dodge trannys are supposed to be pretty good. I could really care less if Dodge/Chrysler took the bail out money. I don't make purchases, especially big purchases based on...

    Alaskan Camper Build Up

    I believe that is where he has been going. carlye, have you thought about 37 inch Toyo Mt's? they are rated at 4300 lbs in 17 inch. Only other option looks like stepping up to mpt 41's or big rig 22.5 inch rims found on the earthroamer. I cant believe you are only getting 36k for two sets...

    If I do get one, I will get it with 8gb ram, is it worth another 140 dollars to jump from 128gb storage to 256? or just get an external hard drive?

    Thanks for the responses so far, I have been researching tech gagets and stuff for a long time trying to learn as much as I can even though the only "tech" thing I currently own is a broken down 10 year old windows laptop that weighs around 7 lbs or more. This is where I am running into...

    Need laptop suggestions

    Starting to think more about the macbook air 13 inch. Is it worth to spend an extra 100 and upgrade to the 8gb of ram? I think intel core i5 processor is probably plenty good for me. I admit i don't know the first thing about using iOS operating system and I don't like how locked down it...

    Need laptop suggestions

    I have also thought about the new surface pro 3, but feel the price is about 200 more than it should be since it doesn't include the typepad. It could be useful though, I would have a laptop/large tablet to use and travel with and then I could use an 8 inch tablet for navigation. The price...

    Need laptop suggestions

    I plan regardless to also purchase a tablet in the future, so i really don't want to get a laptop/tablet hybrid because it seems like to many compromises. The yoga 2 pro came out with similar specs at the samsung ativ book9 but 250 dollars less. I don't have any experience with a tablet so it's...

    My ten year old HP laptop is about dead, having a hard time even writing this, so I am looking for suggestions on which laptop to buy. I have been looking at the I guess what are called "ultra books" Specifically the new Samsung ativ book 9 plus, the Lennova Yoga 2 pro, and possibly the Sony...

    Looking for Ideas on a Budget Adventure Travel Van

    I don't think you will get the MPG you are hoping for in the gas econoline, probably with the diesel, but finding one in your budget will be hard, and all will likely have over 220K miles. The diesel also will probably require some work, and work on a diesel gets expensive. I would look hard at...

    Ford F550 vs. Ram 5500

    Are your Fords 6.0 or 6.4's?:wings: I know a few people that have Superdutys they haven't had any problems in the last 60-100k. One has only had the cab off for repairs once, I was pretty impressed to hear this, I also have a good friend that just turned 550k miles on his Cummins. Personally, I...

    Full Size Dodge Thread

    Redthies, Have you thought about purchasing a 3rd gen 1 ton with a blown motor and swapping in a rebuilt turned up 12 valve?? I know it's been done, would be a big project, but then you get the best of both worlds.
