    Larger than a Dana 60?

    Right. The F350 versions with wide track are unicorns. Around these parts clapped out 4x4 f450 and f550s grow on trees. 05+ is what you're looking for if you want wide track. Because of 6.0 and 6.4 had lots of issues, we have lots of them, old oil field trucks and various work trucks. You're...

    2000 Ford Excursion axle swap question

    Great info on this thread. I swapped an entire suspension from a 2006 F550 onto my 2001 F450. I had a shop do most of the hard swap stuff like rebuilding and regearing axles, steering etc. One thing I ran into when researching the swap was the nomenclature. You see the terms "Dana 60", "Super...

    OBS 350 as Platform?

    And you probably got 6mpg with a tailwind lol. I think it's a stretch to say the V10 will tow better than the 7.3 Powerstroke OBS, it really depends on which flavor of Super Duty and its rating (dually or not etc). I've had a V10 F350 Super Duty, OBS 7.3 and now a Super Duty 7.3. I will say V10...

    OBS 350 as Platform?

    Fuel cost isn't everything. Even accounting for PPG difference, diesel is much more efficient. Diesel is much more energy dense and loaded with a camper you cannot replace torque. I HATE how gas engines need to rev to get into the power band, even the newer ones. My 2001 F450 weighs 9k unladen...

    OBS 350 as Platform?

    DO IT. Ignore all of these real-world experiences lol! I've got a 2001 Super Duty, so the next gen after your OBS, and I love it. Every second, every fume. Love turning wrenches and letting it purrr. There are a total of five sensors on the engine, a couple of wiring harnesses and it is a very...

    PRICE DROP - $14.5K OBO — 1989 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 4WD

    Hi there. Cool rig. Sorry lots of questions: what is the model of Canter? Rust issues (Japan etc)? What engine does it have? Is it a turbo? Assuming manual tranny? Any more pics of truck interior? Also can you send tire (existing) size and rim size of the Super Single wheels?

    Mounting a composite camper box on 4x4 E350 chassis

    Forget the 3 point engineered mounts. Not saying they don't work. Just saying they are not as widely used or clearly understood. Solid mount in the rear and spring mounts mid and front. Literally 10s of thousands of water and tankers trucks all over the continent doing extreme duty with extreme...

    New gaiagps map feature?

    Gaia will make the layer you select active (on android select layer and drag to top in layer screen). Sometimes it glitches and shows other layers a bit but it usually resolves itself to the selected layer.
