Rain stopped about four. Wind started blowing about 7. Sounding like the wind is supposed to stick around.
Sunshine in the morning will be welcomed, but colder weather is coming with it.
Made another propane bottle run today. Last bottle filed was still half full. 20's at night will be the norm by the weeks end with highs in the 40's.
I will change tractor oil in the spring.
I don't know about the GM. I have had to work on a few lately. I do all my own repairs if possible. Nope I still don' like working on them. All the new models are having problems regardless of brand.
This maybe a matter of picking your poison and hoping it doesn't sit on the dealer's lot until...
You want a manual transmission its best to start with a manual transmission truck cab. I imagine the floor tunnel could be modified for the adaption. But just something else to do.
These trucks are still out there and do pop up occasionally.
There are lots of tow spec's out there on new and slightly used vehicles I find as hilarious. 1/2 ton pickups with more tow capacity than my 1 ton. Really, who comes up with that stuff anyway.
Show me a 1/2 ton with a 4500lb front axle and a spicer 70 in the rear on overloads. Even being a...
Must be an over stock of wheels and refusal to buy new. I can understand that.
Not going over 100 and not carrying a load adapters maybe an option.
I am not sure what cars would have used this same axle housing. Pulling the axles and taking some measurements would be a first step for the rear...
Dam can't people read. Not to sound down on anyone. But when the problem has been solved what is the point of acting know it all. So if your just reading the first post and then replying it may not hurt to read the rest first before looking foolish.
Ok I'm done.
Last one of these that sold was in the six figure range. Most are owned by collectors.
This was Dodge's attempt into the 18 wheel truck category. They didn't go over well with the over road crew. Cabs were to small and not enough creature comforts.
Remember this was when the full live in units...
Well its a wide open topic. What it all boils down to, will the engine, transmission and rear axle handle it.
All the air bags and stabilizers in the world will not make an inadequate truck adequate.
To think I once put a Chrysler column in a GM product. Op's it only looked GM
But yes, my 82 Ram has the GM tilt column. GM parts are much cheaper. Like less than $10 for the upper column bearing that Dodge suppliers were wanting $50 and up for.
85 Dodge used a funky ignition system. Even...
Last few days were so windy couldn't put anything down out side a know it would stay put.
Thunder storms most of last night.
Wind went from south east to north west. Temperature also dropped 20°.
It came to me this morning. The truck has Lebaron seats in it. Not an all out luxury seat. But darn comfortable on long trips. Even though it has been over three hundred miles from home.
When the 518 trans goes in that may change.
