    DRW axles on an e250?

    The D80 is about 4" wider overall from mounting surface to mounting surface than the 10.25"/10.5" Sterlings.

    Unsure what direction to go.

    4.88s behind the diesel I'd suggest around 40"+ tires to get you revs on the highway that are normal. I run 4.10s with 37" tires and like that for where and how I use my truck. If I towed more or had an auto I'd have gone with 4.30s.

    I just spent four hours with the new 2014 GMC Sierra....wow!

    Did they rehire the design team who gave us the Pontiac Aztec? Grill and lights over a grill and lights.

    3.5 tonnes of engine, chassis, driveline won't be supported by a hundred kilos of sheet metal, if you roll over.

    VelociRaptor SUV

    I'd rather find an Excursion and swap a 6BT CRD in. Compound turbos, dual CP3, injectors, programmer, upgrades to transmission and suspension. Still be cheaper, more powerful, more capable, and more fuel efficient.

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    If a 1/2 ton is a fullsize, what is a 3/4 or 1 ton? Fuller size? The first post in the thread is what led to my comment, and the ensuing posts by others. Sorry to ruffle a few feathers. Capability is what I deem the deciding factor, not the physical size, and a 1/2 ton does not have what is...

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    I noticed a lot of members think their mid-size vehicles fit the thread category. I thought Full-size refered to 3/4 ton and greater suspension. Dodge and Chevy/GMC 1500, Nissan Titan, Toyota Tundra and Ford F150 are 1/2 ton.

    My next project, E350 Ambulance???

    To get the tracbar bolt out, bring out the torch and heat up the nut. A powerful impact will then remove it.

    Limited Slip Faceoff: Detroit TrueTrac vs. ARB Air Locker

    I don't use the front locker much, but there have been a few times it would have meant using the winch had I not had it.

    Limited Slip Faceoff: Detroit TrueTrac vs. ARB Air Locker

    I went with the ARB in both ends. My primary concern came down to winter driving. Having a selectable locker is more predictable when roads glaze over. An open diff will allow one wheen to roll if the other loses traction. When the need for both wheel to spin, it is just a flip of a switch away...

    Expedition vehicle transmissions: Auto or manual?

    I prefer the manual for winter driving; shifts occur when you want them. I hate the manual when I visit the city and encounter heavy traffic. In the 8 years since I have owned my current truck, I have only bump started if out of necessity twice; Once due to weak batteries and once when the...
