    Waking up a 360?

    I just bought a 2000 Dodge 2500 with the 5.9 gasser. I am not totally awed by the power when compared my 5.9 diesel. It is nice, however to be able to have a conversation with the truck running.:sombrero: I would like to have a bit more in the power dept. It has a built auto with shift kit...

    Prototype trailers from Hardbodies/Aqualu...

    I posted a bunch of pics of the aluminum TLC bodies that Todd from Hardbodies / Aqualu Industries is making for TLC in Van Nuys on the TLC forum. Here are a couple of shots of the aluminum camper trailers Todd is making... The big one is for his own use and features a slide-out kitchen that...

    Aluminum TLC Bodies being born! Pics!

    So I haven't been on the TLC pages here on Expo much lately as I have been working on a 12 valve Cummins truck. I found myself waiting for doors and windows at one of my projects last week, and while picking up some aluminum for my Airstream renovation I was talking to Todd, the owner of Aqualu...

    So there are a million suburban owners on here. That we know. I have owned lots of 81-89 era Subs, Blazers and K2500s. What is the deal with 90-96 era? I see a ton of them for sale. Most with barn doors. I am looking for something I can tow 7500 lbs with and get a sheet of plywood in the...

    MT vs AT fuel economy

    Probably beating a dead alpaca here, but does anyone have any actual real figures on how AT treads compare with MT treads in the same size? Tire makers would have us believe there is a difference, but if I drive on a 35" MT in my 12valve Cummins, and then do the same drive with an AT, will...

    At last, A 12 valve sits in my driveway!

    After many months of looking I found the right truck. A 94 Dodge 2500 with 12 valve Cummins and a built auto. I found it close-ish to home and got to feel some trust for the seller. Crucial for me to be happy about a purchase. I made plans to see the truck on a Monday back in April. He phones...

    Flogging the proverbial dead horse... Dodge auto style!

    So I have to ask another 1st gen Dodge question... The 92-93s that came with autos were 727 HD correct? If so, are they any stronger than the 4spd autos behind 2nd gen Cummins trucks? Thanks for your time y'all!

    7.3 idi vs 7.3 Powerstroke

    Okay, so I have been searching for a clean Dodge Cummins truck of the 92-96 vintage. Lots around, but most seem rough. I am expanding my parameters to include 94-96 F350s as well. I currently drive a 92 F350 with a 460. I have owned a 96 F350 with the powerstroke before. The main question...

    Dodge diesel guys... Input please!

    So I have put my finished F350 up for sale and plan to replace it with another Dodge cummins truck. I have owned a couple of 05's but don't know a ton about the 12v engines. Of the ones I have found, 90-95 is where the bulk of my interest is. What if any are the differences in engine and...

    2nd Gen Dodge auto trans

    So I find myself looking at 12v Dodges again. I have only owned 2005s and had zero issues with either of my trucks. (Except for the time a certain someone filled the 2500 with gas...). I want to sell my F350 and pay off some bills from this years six month road trip. I have found some decent...

    Grand Cherokee purchase?

    I know this probably covered elsewhere but the search didn't get me what I was looking for. I am looking at a 94 GC with 5.2 auto. It is in good shape and just needs a bit of brake work. I can get it cheap. Anything in particular I should check or be aware of that is GC specific? Thanks!

    More Disco II questions...

    So, I have found a super clean 02 and am wondering a few things... It is not the full load, so no sunroofs, which I hear tend to leak... And no rear seats which I would just rip out a way. Also no air suspension. All good so far right? My question now runs to lifts. At what point do you...

    F350 leaf springs

    So I had to get a bigger tow rig than my beloved and buttery smooth riding lifted Tundra. I am now the very happy owner of a virtually spotless 92 F350 that I picked up for a song in cali. My main issues are: Tire rub on front bumper, (35s on stock springs), shocks are done, and the 2...
