    It is starting

    Wind and sunshine today. Don't think there will be any snow.

    It is starting

    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.

    It is starting

    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.

    What to buy?!

    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...

    Max Towing within 1/2 ton Pickup Gas Trucks

    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.

    Max Towing within 1/2 ton Pickup Gas Trucks

    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...

    LA360 into 91 Dak

    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...

    Speedo problem

    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.

    Dodge Big Horn

    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...

    Max Towing within 1/2 ton Pickup Gas Trucks

    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.

    LA360 into 91 Dak

    Only have 1 question. Why the 5 lug rotors? Six lug Dakota has the same pattern is the Viper.

    It is starting

    Out of propane. Going to have to make a bottle run or sit in the cold.

    1997 F350 New to Me

    Nice looking truck for it's age.

    Why oh Why

    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...

    It is starting

    Weather can't decide if the window needs to be open at night or the furnace on. At least the wind wasn't blowing me away today.

    It is starting

    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°.

    2WD small block to 4WD Big Block

    Ram charger likely has an attached transfer case. So no

    bucket seat install??????

    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.

    Dash removal 85 d150

    Check with your state DMV. Laws have changed regarding vin tags. You might get lucky.

    Electronic ignition woes what am I missing???

    Wish I could help. Chilton or Hays manuals are of no help. Like a deer staring into headlights. The old five or four wire ECM's I could help with.
