Been driving the Ford Cummins for over a month now. And so far so good. Here's some teaser pics... Out with the old Donor Motor Getting checked over/upgraded Ready to install 5.9 in the truck Ready to fire

Back from the dead! :D Figured I would update this cause it's been awhile and there have been some major things happening with the truck lately. 1. Last year the trans went out, replaced it with a reman with some upgraded shift solenoids. Old trans had two holes eaten into the top of the case...

My explorer did this on the drivers door. I was able to fix mine my taking the slack out of the linkage for the exterior door handle. The linkage points have clips on them that you can snap apart and snap back on in a different spot to adjust them. I found there is a spot where if the linkage...

Wow, this thread really got exciting since I've checked it last! Glad to see you put some elbow grease in there and cleaned some parts by hand and didn't rely on a magic bullet in a can! Side note, this thread might have been one of the biggest E-pen15 competition threads I've seen on EF for a...

I don't even recognize those without the layer of mud on them :D

If it runs fine, what does it matter if you "think" there is gunk/sludge in there? The only place sludge usually accumulates is on the top of the head, so you could always take of a valve cover pretty easily and see how it looks and clean it while you're there. Putting ANY liquid in the intake...

Here is what I ended up with, a 7x14+V-nose H&H trailer made to order. Ended up dropping the gooseneck dreams because it would have doubled the cost of the trailer. Custom options were the side door with a camper style latch/lock, there's a tinted window on the other side of the trailer, and...

Straight pipe...

Glad to here you're still happy with it :D It's basically a bumper built around a receiver hitch, so as long as all the bolts are tight on the frame you should be good :thumbsup:

Broke in the engine last night, Installation this morning. Hopefully on the water this afternoon!

Sorry to hear that your Google Machine has been failing you. Have you tried replacing the belt tensioner? If it is worn even a new belt will slip easy and squeek. It may also slip enough to not turn your power steering pump under load.

Yes, it would most likely show up right away if you had a problem.

Yes, it is recommended...like I said, going through bearings is a big no-no (Google electrical pitting in bearings) and even with the battery disconnected weird stuff can still happen if you have stray voltage running somewhere other than the "workpiece."

As long as the ground clamp of the welder is directly attached to what you are welding on, you will be fine. If say you are welding on the frame and your ground is attached to the body then you might have problems. You also want to make sure the path of electricity does not go through any...

Some spy shots... Did someone say "treat?"

Oh come on it's only like 100 lbs... lol You forget I design Ag and Construction Equipment for my "real job," more weight and heavy duty is usually a good thing :D

If the system has been opened, do not just add r134a it wont cool for anything if the system is not pulled to a vacuum first...

If you don't plan on doing it again, just take it to a shop, it will be cheaper. Otherwise a HF vacuum pump will be $100ish, gauges will be another $40ish plus the r134a.

I decided to do some upgrades to the 302 in my boat this summer. After I pulled the heads off I noticed one of the cylinders had some evidence of rust pitting. I took the block to get machined and I just got a call that that cylinder wont clean up .030 over and they recommend sleeving it. The...

Same here, car registration is based on vehicle type, how old it is, and new price. The "curve" is quite dramatic too as far as how old the car is. A brand new car will be around $750/year and a 10yr old car is like $40/year My wifes 2011 edge is around $650 and the 05 super duty is only...

Solid axle, front bumper 1/2th the size and some 33-35's and then I MIGHT like it...

Maybe I should just skip the whole trailer idea and join the bingo bus crowd... this is cheap and local :D http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/3719550247.html

I guess I could do something classy like buy a bumper pull and weld a gooseneck on it... I do know a guy that did that to a 20ish foot enclosed trailer and it turned out pretty good.

Ya, there are some pretty sweet two horse trailers with living quarters about that long, but by the time you figure the cost to buy one, then cut it up and enclose it, I'm better off with modifying one like you posted in the link. That one's in TX though... It looks like if I want the gooseneck...

I have a need for an enclosed trailer in the 10-16 foot range, but I have some wants that no one seems to make in a trailer that size. Wants: Gooseneck hitch 10-16 foot deck length Ramp rear door Camper style side door (ability to open from inside too) Two axle Ability to convert...
