    Fancy Synthetic oil for transmission, worth it?

    They do make seal conditioners to address the leaking Redline is a fantastic product. Not as impressed with Amsoil, but many swear by it.

    New guy looking for guidance, new tech or old simplicity

    Half million dollar Earthroamers are built from similar Super Dutys with that same powertrain, so it must not worry too many people. Invest in high-end fuel filtration, and use a good fuel additive to add back some of the lubricity lost in ULSD Enjoy your truck, they're so pleasant to drive...

    Help me pick my first 1st Gen (Cummins) truck!

    Easy. Fix the odometer. The idea that you don't know how many miles are on the truck when you buy it (or sell it) is the only piece of the puzzle you need to consider. In the example where it broke with 300K miles, who cares? It wouldn't be worth any more with 275K miles, or any less with 325K...

    Expo build advice

    Go to: www.race-dezert.com/forum I doubt anyone on Expo spent $5K (arms, 2.5 shocks, wheels/tires, fenders, etc) on a long-travel Ranger IFS kit

    Ford Raptor with custom hard side camper

    That's a neat unit. I wonder how much of the GVWR is left after the conversion.

    Looking for Tire Info, 2002 Ford F450

    Are you referring to the closeout 275/80R20 MPT81's? Versus the 335/80R20 MPT81? The considerations beyond cost are gearing, load, and road manners The 275s are 10.1% smaller in diameter and 9.2% smaller in rotational circumference than the 335s. This means that the 275s rotate 50 more times...

    Help me buy a LC

    Why not just step up in size to a Grand Cherokee?? Or is it too small compared to the LC 100?

    Help me pick my first 1st Gen (Cummins) truck!

    You'd be an idiot NOT to buy that truck. Use it for a while and see what you like and don't like about it.....all the while continuing to search for the right 1st gen Cummins. When you find your Cummins, then perhaps the good parts/attributes of that gas truck will be of value to the diesel. For...

    post your Suburban pics

    Congrats!! If your Sub is cranking over but not starting right away, I doubt it's your fuel pump itself....usually they either work or they don't. I'd bet money that your fuel pressure regulator is failing. When they age/wear they tend to bleed off pressure so when you go to start it there...

    Lamborghini Urus

    Pure to their roots? You mean like tractors? You do know that Lamborghini was a tractor manufacturer for 15 years before making cars... Or are you referring to the LM002 that Lamborghini produced 27 years ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_LM002

    Best towing rotors? cryogenically treated, no hype

    You could always buy normal rotors and send them out for cryo treatment. There are companies that will cryo treat anything.

    Motor Trend video - 2013 G63 AMG vs 2013 Range Rover

    That Black and Yellow Veyron belonged to Persian designer Bijan (died a year or two ago), and is still parked outside his boutique on Rodeo in the same spot every day. Google it.

    My next overland rig??? HELP!

    Your statement(s) reinforce my minor point. It's the perception, not reality, that full-size domestic US trucks aren't every bit as capable or durable overlanders as any other stock 4x4, save Unimogs. We're fixated on the vehicles we can't easily get, or don't see often -- the objects of lust...
