    4.7L V8 reliability?

    My 100 series will have 250k on it before the next oil change is due. The 4.7 is an outstanding engine with a lot of life left in it. I'd bet the ranch on it being one of the most reliable gas V8's every built. I had a coil pack fail last year. It started to hesitate during acceleration...

    1999 Dodge 2500 CTD Build AKA Han Solo

    Nuts. Sometimes you get lucky and just need a new chord. Rubbed through casing and shorted out... Happened on my last two Dodges. You can test the block heater with a multimeter. I think the cords are around $20 good luck Love your truck by the way. I miss my 01 :(

    Cold-startin' a 7.3 ...

    Oh and never use starting fluids unless you make sure the gp's are not turning on. Disconnect power to them just to be safe. One whiff of that stuff hitting a hot plug can cause multiple cylinders to fire all at once you can imagine the engine damage. Edit: -Buliwyf beat me to it :)

    Cold-startin' a 7.3 ...

    Check Rock Auto sometimes they have the Motorcraft plugs for a great deal. Again Motorcraft nothing else.. One cycle will get the plugs as hot as they need to be. If it doesn't start after a few cranks cycle them again. I've found multiple cycles before the first crank does more bad than...

    12v Cummins vs. 7.3 Power Stroke?

    I loved our Cummins but we outgrew the quad cab the first time I loaded a car seat. This^ I went the turbo IDI route and haven't looked back. you can read why in my sig if you want. Simple. Reliable and plenty of power and 4 doors.. Aftermarket turbochargers are common used or new...

    Vivir Cien - Krazytoy's 100 Series Build

    I agree. CV's are easy and far less messy. If you're in a hurry you can leave the knuckle attached to the upper BJ and leave the brake hardware in place as well. Those outer axle clips bend easily when removed/installed. Not a bad idea to keep a few extra onboard. They are available in...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Here's a platform I made for my 100 series Land Cruiser for fairly cheap. I used some 2x8's for the vertical supports and a nice piece of plywood. I found this ugly piece of rubber back carpet for the top. Using turn buckles I secured it to the original third row seating attachments. My dogs...

    Wife Says I Bring Too Much Beer Camping

    Its better to have it and not need it that to need it and not have it (LOL) which is why I bring the 24 pack of Hamm's along with a 12 pack of Rainier or a bottle of my favorite Canadian Whiskey. Having too much is cheap insurance for those times when my wife decides she whats to throw a few...

    1993 ford diesel questions

    93-95's (although they are rare IDI's became an option in 95) had the optional turbo kit which is essentially a wastegated ATS 093. Not a bad setup imo. Any of the turbo kits early or late model (Banks, ATS, Hypermax, etc) are better than nothing if you need more power. If it's healthy...
