The ranger is officially commissioned to trash duty only now that she's at 205k miles. I'm in search of a diesel truck now. I'm looking at a '98 24v Dodge 2500, '00 F-350, and an '04 & '05 F-350s... It will mostly be a DD, but I plan on finding a fixer upper boat (28-32' range) this winter to...

And second 2 days later... In the company truck... Our gas/water department has sewer lift pumps that are often down an "unimproved road", and we have to drive down there to read the electric meter, hence our trucks are all 4wd (so I thought)... Now, I normally drive the Ranger (we have 3 Chevy...

Well, I've been away for awhile finishing up school and working a new job... The old Explorer I had a while back that was converted to 4wd sat around with no use and being that I had no time to use it I got rid of it... Well, 2 weeks ago my DD 2000 Ranger gets t-boned and with 200k+ miles on...

Ok, so I have the choice right now between two new (old) trucks that I can get... 1.) 1985 K-5 Blazer 6.2 diesel auto 92k miles 2.) 1978 Bronco 351M (rebuilt 20k miles ago) 4-speed Both are equal right now... I'm not looking for someone to come up and say "get this", I want to know why you...

Alright, so I am supposed to sell my Camaro today... I go start it up (been sitting about a week)... Runs fine (takes a while to start), once warm and out of open loop, it starts missing and running like crap (seems to me that it's not getting fuel), dies... Won't start again unless I mash the...

So, I'm thinking about getting me a bike, but I don't know too much about road bikes (I've been into motocross all my life)... I'm looking for something less than $1,000, maybe a fixer upper... Something I could hop up and make quick, just something to keep me busy... Something like this...

Ok, we're building a shop (30'x40'x12' 2 bay garage) and are installing a 2 post lift in one bay, along with some type of air system... Now, I've never shopped for a lift, and was wondering where is the best place to get one and what kind would be best? From what I've read an overhead 9,000lb, 2...

I like the idea of skinny tires anyway (can fit a taller tire easier if it's skinnier), then I found this and he puts alot of good science behind it... http://www.expeditionswest.com/research/white_papers/tire_selection_rev1.html

Wow... http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/motoring/2976233/Whale-penis-seats-in-Russian-4WD

I've measured and measured and measured again, and I'm pretty sure I have room to fit a 33x9.50-15 completely stock... I know I'll have to do some inner fender relocation and trimming and whatnot... Is it mostly the width that's the problem? I don't see many guys on here with tall and skinnies...

Looking for a pull-out for a diesel swap and I keep running over all kinds of stuff like this... http://costarica.en.craigslist.org/cto/1305495050.html

Could somebody with 16" OEM wheels possibly take a picture of the spare that came with their truck and post it up?

Well, I got a screw in one of my practically new Firestone Destination A/T's, so I've decided to sell those and step up to a little larger tire (235/85-16 vs 235/75-15)... Does anyone here have any experience with Goodyear Wrangler Authority (Wal-mart only tire), or Duratrac? They both look like...

Yep... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJSBx4a1NyI&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QvSoRQrVJg Brian Regan-I walked on the Moon This guy is hilarious... I've seen all his stuff... If you want to get straight to the relevant part start at about 2:35... It's all hilarious though...

Does anyone know if it's possible to do a SAS and keep the lift as low as possible (2-3")? I've been measuring and looking and measuring and looking and would really like to get someone's opinion that's been there before... I was thinking maybe if I cut some of the crossmember there and replaced...

Ok, I've been trying to figure this out and figured I would give this a try... After my laptop recently imploded on itself I've been using an old Dell (P4 3.00GHZ, 512MB RAM) desktop for my Photoshop needs... I upgraded to CS4 when I switched to this machine and it works fine until I try to do...

So, we are looking at buying a full-size truck to haul stuff around and tow a camper we're purchasing soon... We aren't looking to spend a whole lot of money (<$10,000)... It would be nice to get diesel, that way fuel mileage doesn't suffer too bad... We have been looking at pre-97 Ford 3/4 and...

Ok, so ever since I bought my Explorer it's had a "shudder" whenever I take off, and I know it needed a new d-shaft u-joint, so I replaced both of them... Take it out for a drive and it still does it, yet not as extreme... I'm not that good with clutch and transmission problems... It only does...

I just did a tune-up on my 4.0, thinking that would cure the miss it has at idle... But, it didn't... I'm terrible at diagnosis, so that's why I'm asking... It idles just fine around 1000rpm (I know that's high)... Once it warms up it drops to 800-900rpm and misses... I thought it could just be...
