MDT/HDT question. I'm currently trying to decide whether to buy an F650/F750 (probably F750), or to buy an F450. The 650/750 is about half the price of a 4WD crew cab long bed diesel F450, so I'm definitely leaning that direction. The obvious safety factor of the F650/F750 is also a...

Awe man, the wheelbase on that thing is CRAZY LONG. The crossmembers and spring hangers are bolted on, not riveted, so moving the axle should be a fairly easy job. The only money involved would be shortening the driveshaft and if it works out that I could just remove the center shaft and move...

Without the axle code on the truck I was looking at, I have no idea what the gear ratio of that particular truck is. I can get that pretty easily though, as well as what the spring code is. The particular truck I was looking at had a rescue body on it. It's a 5.9 Cummins and Allison automatic...

So I need a little guidance on my next tow vehicle. Jim already knows a little about about my plan, but I haven't spoken with him specifically about what I'm going to ask about here. A little back story and explanation of how I got to here... On the way home from the Fort in February I blew...

So we left the Fort, heading home Sunday morning. We had a wonderful time, until things started snowballing... Stopped for fuel in Ocala before heading north on I-75, back to east Tennessee. Left there and made our way up I-75 to a rest area in northern Florida. That's when I saw what appeared...

Since I replaced my 7cu ft Dometic with a 10cu ft Insignia residential fridge, I bought a pack of extension rods. I'm going to double up on them. I'm also ditching the 110v heater we keep in there since the weather is going to be AWESOME. The hardest thing I've found so far is finding places to...

Well, I'm getting closer! 3 days until we leave. I'm off work tomorrow and Friday, but I have to work Saturday 7am-7pm. I'm trying to figure out any last second stuff. My camper stays across the street at my mom's house since I can't get it into my driveway. It's plugged in, so the fridge is...

We're leaving east Tennessee Sunday morning at 6. We have a campsite reserved at Three Flags RV Park in Wildwood, FL for Sunday night. We're checking into a premium site on the 18th as well!

We're leaving east Tennessee on Sunday morning (the 17th) and arriving in Orlando that evening. We're going to TRY to pick up an extra day and check in a day early. If we can't do that, we're gonna bounce over to a local campground and spend the night, and then check in on Monday. We're in a...

I just finished repairing my leak (hopefully) a few hours ago. I bought a new filler hose and dropped the tank. My auxiliary tank was nearly full, so I just started transferring fuel. Keeping an eye on it over the last few hours. The gauge now shows above full, and I can see there is still fuel...

We're leaving east Tennessee the 17th, arriving on the 18th! CAN. NOT. WAIT!

That looks like it's probably the same setup as mine. Either the barbed aluminum T, or the hose between the T and the tank has a hole rubbed into it from the frame. It's just too dadgum tight in there to see where it's coming from. As soon as I get this tank of fuel ran out, I'll drop the truck...

Mine is definitely not the vent on the auxiliary tank. Whoever installed my tank (it was in when my cousin bought the truck about 8 yrs ago) installed the T on top of the frame. It has to have a hole rubbed into the hose itself, between the T and the tank, or in the T itself. Why they didn't...

I've got a question about my auxiliary fuel tank. I thought I had my leak fixed, but I apparently didn't. I put fuel in it for the first time Sunday, and after driving home, I realized that I was pouring fuel onto the driveway. Apparently the 1.5" barbed pipe in the filler hose with the barbed...

I've actually changed my mind after pulling my 5er a few times. I now plan to leave Knoxville at around 2-3pm on Sunday 2/17. That'll put us in Atlanta at 6-7pm or a little later. It'll be better than taking a chance on the mountains being bad.

I ordered our cart from Tee Time a few weeks ago. I got a 6 seater from Feb 18th thru the 24th.it was $351 with the 10% first responder discount. Definitely wouldn't be worth the hassle for only a day though.

Well, I think my truck is finally ready for the trip in February. Almost... I still need to do an oil change and have my tires installed. The tires were delivered from the North Pole yesterday by UPS Claus. I also took my truck to a local diesel shop yesterday and had my new water pump, upper...

Well, I'm down to 73 days now! There's so much I still need to get done, and I've already done so much! Lol. Yesterday, I reserved a 6 seater cart from Tee Time. While laughing about what my email address meant, I explained that it was my nickname that was given to me in the mid 90s when I first...

I haven't changed anything yet. No time off work. Today was day 7 of 12 in a row, 12hr shifts. I'll have 2 days off (Saturday and Sunday) and then I'll work another 8 days in a row. That'll pretty much wrap up my overtime for the rest of the year. The good thing is, Christmas is paid for, and as...

OK. Sounds like it probably doesn't matter then. I think I may go ahead and and swap the settings anyway, just so I can see my hitch better. After I put the toolbox in, I can't see the hitch anymore. I may not gain anything as far as the bucking goes, but I'll hopefully be able to at least see...
