    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    The battery out of the Bronco looks to be no good. Next is the Chevy Colorado's. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's ok. I bought that battery from a friend who has since closed his store.

    When I hear a clunk in my front end it's usually the factory bump stops. I think they are made of granite.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    I got behind on battery maintenance and discovered a couple trucks here that got discharged. I went to top them up and my 2 year old battery charger was not working. I bought another brand charger 2 years ago. ? I should have stayed with Ctek. I fixed it now.

    If getting excited about a divorced NP205 transfer case seal kit is wrong... I don't want to be right.

    I'm with you. I hate poser trucks that look like a rolling yard sale. Nobody needs a rope hanging on the outside of the truck. If your shovel is mounted outside, and has no scratches, you might be a fauxverlander.

    Let’s talk Fuel Filters

    If you are running a fuel water separator with gasoline make sure you have a steel bowl. The clear plastic bowls will be fine for diesel, but gasoline will destroy them.

    Green and tan go together nicely. Put a green pinstripe between the tan and white.

    Destination Unknown - a 1997 F350 build

    My truck is parked right outside, and I have the same kit on the front. I will take pictures or whatever it takes to help you figure it out. I know you are unhappy right now, but you should be familiar with your truck and know your way around it a little anyways. I always write in my articles...

    There is only one spindle nut. Where are these nuts located? Do you mean lug nuts?

    Destination Unknown - a 1997 F350 build

    First off, having worked as a design engineer in the automotive aftermarket, I have to tell you that factory tolerances are huge. In order to make parts that will fit on ALL trucks, sometimes you will have big gaps on certain trucks. We had to do test fits on several trucks until we felt...

    What bolts did you use? Are they coming loose, or stretching? I did a disc brake conversion and 2 of the 3 bolts holding the caliper bracket to the rear end housing broke. How do I know they broke, and did not just come loose? The through holes were not hogged out. If the bolts were just loose...

    Found this cool place to boondock out by Caliente, NV. The sound of spring water trickling into the water tank was so peaceful.

    ‘93 F-350 utility bed w/FWC Camper

    Paul, The truck looks great! Nice work! Hillbilly nailed it by pointing out the flat surface on the front wall of the camper causing a lot of wind resistance. Another thing that I see is the roof rack sticking out past the wind shield. The air is flowing up the glass and then getting caught...
