I did my undergrad in the early 80s at VA Tech in Blacksburg, Va. Seemed like there was a pig pick'n out in the woods every weekend. Good times. Didn't have to be a hippy though but sometimes hard to get back to town.

In that part of the world I'd expect to see some pigs on the spit. Pig Pickin':)

Come on guys, don't pollute the the Ujoint thread with a diesel vs gasser hijack.:( We all know a diesel is more expensive to own, operate, and maintain. Now that I've bullet-proofed my 6.0 I expect to get another 200,000 out of it. Maybe injectors but the motor will likely outlast the...

What a treat to run into Ambovan at the local ski hill today. All the reason to give this awesome build thread a bump.

My bad, I finally read through your whole thread and see that someone else asked the same dumb question. But here's another one. Those wheels are bada$$. What rims are they?

Where there is a will, there is a way! Perhaps a metal rod with a short leash on it so you could pull/roll it up the side rather than drag it.

The Sinister kit is over-priced for what you get and they basically copied the one from River City. http://www.rivercitydiesel.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&product_id=110&vmcchk=1&Itemid=54 This is the one I'm going to put on my 6.0psd 4x4 van...

Nice rig and safe travels! Because I can't help myself, I have to ask. How do you manage to get that spare on and off from the roof rack? It must weigh 80 or 90 pounds.

I have the DCpower 250A. I'm reading 13+ volts within 10 seconds of startup after the glow plugs draw the starting batteries down to 11.

Sweet rig. Another upgrade you should add to your wish list is a higher output alternator. The stock unit is woefully inadequate for the needs of the 6.0.

Sweet rig. Next time you do that track have a look up and see if anyone is on the white line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdVl2C4TK-s

You might be right but you have offered no evidence to support your case other than hyperbole in your long-winded treatise above. Blah, blah, blah. Discount? You might know them as America's Tire but according to them, they are the world's largest tire and wheel retailer. I don't know if...

OK, Mwilliamsshs. Here ya go. LT315/75R16 E rated with a load rating of 127. http://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires/wrangler-duratrac/sizes-specs#Specs28 I only posted in this thread to point out that not all E rated tires have a max psi of 80. Despite the fact that you posted erroneous...

Interesting info. And what was Ford's recommended psi for the tires versus Firestone? Anyhow, I can't explain the D range BFG thing. I had to assumed too much weight for the load index but even then on a 10,000lb it should have been adequate. Perhaps not enough sidewall? Here's how I...

Your right, my bad it's 3860 at 65 psi. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+DuraTrac&sidewall=Blackwall&partnum=175QR6WDT&tab=Specs So, by referencing the Explorer/Firestone tire fiasco/fiery deaths/lawsuits to my post you are implying that by running...

not all E-rated tires have a max PSI of 80 Goodyear Wranger Duratracs are E-rated with a 3650 load rating at max 65 psi. I run them at 45 to 50 psi on my 10,000 lb van. If you do a search on the SMB forum there were quite a few issues re[ported of D rated BFGs falling apart on 4x4 vans. If...

Well, I don't get that sense at all. They hardly have a presence on Expedition Portal or the SMB forum. You imply that they are moderating the forums to discourage SMB enthusiasts from posting about their builds? Sorry, but I find that a bit over the top but hey good luck with your door...

I like your idea but sorry I call BS on your conspiracy theory:rolleyes:

FyI. Roonie sold his van a couple of years ago.

Probably too late but here's another cat back system for the E350 with a 6.0. http://mbrpautomotive.com/index.php?page=products&part=S6285AL And a thread on modifying the 3" downpipe to 3.5". http://www.sportsmobileforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=8759
