F-550 f-350

I spotted an ER a few years ago about a mile from home , AWSOME. I had never seen or heard of one previously. I am a F-550 owner twice over and currently have one 550 4x4 v10 (previous was 7.3) and a 350 CC 4x4 7.3 flatbed. The 550 is a great platform for an adventure vehicle. Look forward...

That Hankook Dynapro does look nice, if I were sticking with 16" on a F-350 I'd be on them. Also, Michelin and Goodyear offer full steel cased "g" series tire. I dunno tread options, but is far superior to LT tires. FYI Jronwood

FYI, back on tires. Many, many 24,000 GVW trailers use four 17.5 trailer tires instead of eight 16" on dually rims. These are also appearing on single axles trailers good to 12,000 WOW. They are rated for 6000lbs each. They are the cats meow. I am building a single trailer with 8000 GVW using...

Was in Vietnam a few years ago, scooters flow through the streets like water, by the thousands and tens of thousands, especially in HCMC. We adopted a 10 month old. What a place, left via Hanoi. Jronwood

As far as trailer brakes, they need nearly constant attention (adjusting). They day comes our retired adventurer is coming down off a mountain, in the rain/snow and is fully loaded, that 1/2 ton with it's puny brakes will make her fill her pants (or worse) . Perhaps your necessary attention to...

No half ton has any business pulling the loads she is talking about (regardless of brand). She is talking slide in camper and a horse trailer IN THE MOUNTAINS. You may not realize it, but that would quickly wear out and trash a 1/2 ton. They are cars with more ground clearance (sorry I had to...

F450-550 7.3 southern truck, the 19.5" will be perfect for the loads and the power/ durability excellent. At 10000 pound pull this IS a perfect set up. Jronwood

Good thread, looking into some strobing LED's for accessory brake lights on an 1987 XT600. Jronwood

Some more pics. Both trucks are getting painted white in the next few months. Jronwood

FYI, Larry Stiger might take your 450 in trade as he deals in TONS of trucks like that. I thought about going that route when I was looking for a 4x4 F-550, but I found one locally I could "swing" buying. Jronwood

I love this, good for you ole girl. Personally I am a Ford guy, the 450-550 with a 7.3 are incredible trucks, I just rid of a 2000 550 7.3 2wd ( Detroit Locker and 3.91 gears, which i removed before the sale) and got a V10 550 4x4 for local stuff, and also recently upgraded my F-150 extended...

Worth noting for some interested in the new Dodge 4500 and 5500 series, the Daimler Chrysler truck has some sort of German axles and my gear shop said he had looked into regearing one of the 4x4 5500's and it was astronomically expensive, FYI. Jronwood

I have had several 2000-2002 F-350-550's. My current project is (are) a 2000 F-550 4x4 gasser (urban log grabber) with a totally custom Hiab knuckleboom and log bed, and a "Family tripping vehicle" a 2002 F-350 7.3 CC 4x4 drw factory cab chassis. The 350 cab chassis has the same straight frame...

You cant beat 19.5's I am running them on two 550's and CANT wait to call Heather at Rickson once I have the $$$/ I already have some REALLY good Michellin pull off's from a buddies commercial fleet. My 02' F-350 CC 4x4 flat bed is dying to get them on it (needs painted and a new bed deck as...

I am "dieseling" up a camping rig on a 2002 F-350 (hybirized to a 450) 4door dually 4x4 w/ a 7.3. This will be a pull behind, but my "systems" are focusing on one fuel, diesel due to all the current issues with ethynol. I am planning to make my own low RPM diesel generator out of a single...

I couldn't tell if you hacked off the front channel receiver, BUT I use those on all my trailers regardless of size. They are the cats meow for versatility, pintel, 2", 2 5/16" whatever you need. Jronwood

All good input folks, Jronwood
