My dad bought a 96 F250 extended cab 4x4 with a 460/5 speed in 1998. Its still in the family and I drove it quite a bit in 1999 after he passed away. They are extemely thirsty. I think empty the best I got was about 9-10 mpg on CA gas. The one long trip he took in it he got about 12-13 on OR...

If I can go, big IF, then I would be interested. Wouldn't be able to leave up here until the 8th which would put me down in S CA the night of the 9th depending on weather.

Yes but there are permits involved from the government which limits the number of people that can go.

The last time I was out of country was pre 911. I know passports would be needed but what else? Also I have kids now, some aren't the fruit of my loins, so what kind of paperwork would be needed for them? How does the price and availability of fuel compare to the US? Any links that would...

Nice, I love the sound and power of a gas big block.:elkgrin: I am actually thinking about getting a 8.1 for a project I have. I work on cars for a living and the newer Chevy V-8's are remarkably trouble free, can't say the same about the vehicles they are in. A 6.0 would be really sweet in a...

I love diesels but you hit the nail on the head. In most cases its just not cost effective to run diesels here in the US unless you are hauling stuff long distance for a living. Right now where I am diesel is .70 cents a gallon more than regular unleaded. The mpg differences between new gas...

Nice video, loved the Honda.

Yes some of the early super duty f250s had the dana 50 instead of a 60. Not sure which year was the last.

Just from looking at the pics I think you would be better off getting something a little newer. Its got a TTB frontend, more pivot points mean more places to wear. I think Ford only used TTB on their F350s for a couple of years before they went to a solid axle, that should tell you something...

No this trailer doesn't have a adjustable jack, I wish it did. My other M116A2 with stake sides has one I added, I use it for my utility trailer. Of course with my move I still haven't found the handle for it, I hope I didn't loose it.

Well I had about an hour today to work on it some more. Swapped the tan tongue back onto the tan trailer frame. Stripped the trailer frame of misc brackets, wiring, parking brake handles and the rear support leg. Just have to hook up the brake line and tighten some bolts up and she is off to...

My trailer is about 8' long and just over 4' wide, interior dimensions. I am keeping the surge brakes, hand brakes, and rear stabilizer jack because they are really nice to have. Well I ran into a bit of a problem today. My pioneer tool trailer frame doesn't seem to be exactly square. I...

Here is the start of my pioneer tool trailer build. Hope to have it ready for summer.:) Its based on a military M116A1 trailer with the old 5 lug bud style rims and no trailer brakes. I have a M116A2 to use for the newer 8 lug axle and surge brakes. The nice thing about these trailers is...

You can widen it no problem but if you have to pay someone else to do it then its probably cheaper to buy a new one. Cut your axle in two, get a 5" section of tubing the same outside diameter and wall thickness as your axle. Get a, say 10" section of tubing that has the same inside diameter as...

Its not the towing the 105 with the Jeep I would be worried about, its the stopping. Get trailer brakes on your new axle for it and you will do fine.

Does your HVAC system use vacuum to move doors and such or is it all cables? Does your transmission need vacuum? If you answered no then ditch the vacuum pump. I know the later 6.5 diesels had the oil pump drive with no pump, don't know if one would fit a 6.2. Get an aftermarket tach for a...

I could tell you weren't a grunt from the fact you didn't like sharing a head with them. They are kind of hard to housebreak.:elkgrin: Man thats alot of names of guys who didn't make it back, made me tear up a little. Thoughts and prayers are with their families. Semper Fi.

I knew you weren't a grunt. I was a 3521/3531 back in the 90's. Looking forward to more. Stay safe.
