Having owned a GM 6.2/6.5 series diesel, they are not as bad as they are made out to be. The BIGGEST thing I can recommend over any other mods to that engine is, replace the balancer with a Fluidamper version. The stock balancer is the major weak point and do fail at completely random times...

Dude, that is SO AWESOME!!!! I love to see a fully loaded, full size diesel ripping around the dunes!!! Gives me hope that one day we'll be doing the same. :D

Glad to hear you are still working on things Jerry. Bummer about all the computer issue but sounds like you're getting them taken care of. As for the springs, I have heard good things of the Tuff County soft rides. That was what I was going to use on the M1010.

We have been very happy with our FWC Grandby. Coming from our Kamparoo trailer, which in the wind would buffet, flap and really made it hard to get a good nights sleep, the FWC we don't even notice the wind. Maybe a gentle rock of the whole rig but no real noise. Not even enough to get the...

When I traded in, I made sure I was trading up!!! :D

So far... :ylsmoke:

Because my wife is much softer to snuggle with. :D

I'm a Chevy man and have owned a number of trucks over the years. When it came time for a HD truck for putting a FWC camper on it, I was only looking at Dodge club cabs with a Cummins. I found our '97 and am very happy with it. It hauls the FWC no problem and I even towed a '65 Chevy C10...

Okay, cool. Just worried as I think it was on WTW that someone was having issues with the mounts pulling out after a year or so.

Looks great! Congrats. Curious question though, is the mounting setup an approved FWC setup? My understanding is the jack point are NOT to be used as tie down points. Unless you have talked to FWC directly, I would not trust what anyone else says. Someone on here had issues with pulling the...

Actually read the whole thread and they are not making them unless you come into the shop. They don't want to deal with shipping anymore so if you're local to them, cool, otherwise they are not an option. I may build my own based on their design... if I ever get time. LOL

Yeah, I have been having the same issue. I want some rails that will actually take a full hit, should it happen. Coming in at 8500 lbs. I can't see the N-Fabs holding up. I have heard that Aluminess builds some (might not be listed online) and mount to the body but however they do it, they...

Snow Peak this, Snow Peak that, Snow Peak with a whiffle ball bat! Dave, put down the Snow Peak catalog and step away. No one gets hurt. :coffeedrink:

Actually I talked to GV about this reverse issue and their answer was, if you are backing up a steep grade or with a heavy load, put it into 4WD which will take some of the load off the internal clutch system in the GV unit. Not a perfect solution but given the available options, one that could...

Wow! And I thought I was heavy at just under 8500 lbs. That was the Ram with Cummins, FWC Grandby, loaded up for a 4 day trip, with me in the front seat. Guess I don't feel as bad now. Nice rig!

I am not sure where this rumor of Bilstein 5100's are not rebuildable or can't have custom valving, comes from but YES, the can be and I have had numerous sets done over the years. The difference is that Bilstein has to do them, not just any shop. For any vehicle I have, if Bilstein's have an...

Must be nice to be able to buy an off the shelf snorkle for a Ram. Us 2nd Gen Ram guys get no love. :( Nice work.

Us US folks would never get that kind of luck... Again it will be another one of those cool vehicles that we can only dream about getting in the US!

As for a tach, this is what I put in the M1010 when I had it. Very popular on SteelSoldiers.com. It has an inductor that mounts on any of the fuel pressure lines to the injector. Works great and much more acturate than the alt setups. Nice thing, it also had a resetable hour meter too...

You need to know what your total amp draw is. If your combined amount is 80% of the rating of your relay (I like to have some extra overhead for surges), then it really doesn't matter what you hook up to it. If you had 20 lights that pulled 1 amp each, you can run them all off one relay but if...
