I don't get how they can get away with it? It's not like the side of the truck is caved in. If I was him, I'd rockcrawl on the dealers corvettes. Raptor forums effect??? Maybe it's legal nonsense. Air bags are loud. His passenger has a decent legal case. That's 168db. Fine, if...

The 150's hover around 1500#, with options there's a 2000# model. That's around yester-years 250's. 250 is 3100#. 350 is 4,000#. Not a bad idea to add spring if any of those trucks get maxx'd out. IME, the maxx'd ratings aren't level.

F550 chassis cab, crew cab, 4x4, 6.7, 4.30 ls, is only $60k. People are paying $20,000 for tailgate badges that I can get for free at the mall or Starbucks, and for cheap chinese cameras. Skip the ''keeping up with the Jones's'' options and they aren't too bad. Oddly, F450's are the same...

Fuel filters, filters, and more filters. 6.7 is fine, as good as the other two after that.

ISB's. There's the cooling system failure that nukes #6. Easy mod to fix. There's the injector failing and hosing down #6 and nuking it. And there's the guy that only tuned ''for fuel economy''. Lolz. It's typical expo murphys law. The parts buried under the dash are the ones that fail...

Kinda wheelin that white truck hard. Time to get some more grippy tires so you can slow down a bit. Still not hard enough for airbags, but lolz, that's poetic.

Sounds about right for here as well. Our Fords aren't quite at 20% unless you count turbos and reflashes. Half of the dodge fails are #6 nuking. Good luck fixing that with the engine in, cab on.

I'd keep that bike. People are cleaning up old monsters cafe-like. It's the next big thing.

What condition is the bike in?

It's not noticeable in a f250 with the hubs locked in, in 2wd. Big difference in bigger trucks. It's not bad at all. The Detroit no spin was originally for heavy military trucks and was oem option on some fullsize Fords (particularly the oem camper trucks) until people forgot how to...

No that's not a good value for America. Need more info, but a f550 chassis cab with a flat bed camper box and super singles is way less than that. Also keep in mind how much air fare and resort time you can buy with 200 g's. I could live in paradise for that, get a job as a dive master...

Dana 50 from the '99+ era wasn't a bad axle. Don't lock it and bounce up the stairs at the park. IIRC plenty of 350's got stuck with them. Never say never, sometimes the factory makes weird combo's for dealer lot trucks. Even in todays computer age and just in time parts. Sometimes the...

Yep. I'd paint it outlaw black and wheel the heck out of it. GM stopped making good trucks when I was born. That ride's older than me. Rebuilding that transmission should be like a vacation for a trans shop these days.

This is what I'm doing now:

My setup is so overkill with the Cooper STT's, I never need 4wd in the winter over 25mph. That's why I go so hardcore on the front axle. I don't need open/open 4wd in the winter. (Ohio, MI upper and lower, SE Canada, Vermont, PA, maybe Maine) So I can gamble more towards off road, and...

If that was true, I might have bought one. I just can't afford the rebuild costs. I'm good with the upfront cost, but without a no questions asked warranty on the diesel fuel system for 200,000miles, I'm not touching one. At least not after reading the Dodge, GM, and Ford forums. Bad...

Your attitude changes when you have to foot the repair bill for a HPP on the GM/Ford/Dodge diesels, especially if the truck is so new it's still under warranty.

The way I look at it: You need a high lift and a shovel for winching anyways. So it's an easy place to start. You're only out the High Lift winch kit parts if you start there, and then add the electric winch later because you're winching 4 times a month. And the tree strap in that kit is...

I don't even look at Ford axle ratings anymore. GVWR is the weak link we have to watch. All the other ratings are "space shuttle" unless you're a triple axle 5'er guy.

How much recovery do ya'll do with fullsizes in the desert? I only ever used mine because the ground was wet grass, with quick-mud underneath. One you break through, that stuff is slicker than ice. No tire can climb out. (that was before lockers though) Winched the truck 3 measly...
