I have a couple of the previous model of this Advanced Elements model. We have enjoyed them for years. They are made much better than the average consumer item like the one linked to above. I'd be willing to part with one if it is something you are interested in. "Child" in the above...

Yea, I followed the thread pretty closely. That is way more than I ever plan on doing to one, but it was cool to see. Of the newer trucks I have driven, I really, really like the 68rfe. Seems to be tuned perfectly for the stock motor. Gotta love the double overdrive to keep the diesel motor...

Great! Feel free to post, or PM me or text any info to 801-499-916two. I'm serious, but not necessarily in a hurry. Hopefully I can get the starter fixed on my 11 liter cummins this weekend to make some space. :-)

I guess I hadn't noticed the 4th gen being that much quieter in the ones we have driven. Maybe I need to pay more attention or it is because we haven't towed a load with one. Yea, The 4th gen Crew cabs that we have looked at had enough legroom. She just likes the way the seats fold down flat...

It's a partial fix, but I have installed host files on my most-often used computers that forward most known advertising and data-gathering hosts to localhost, effectively shutting them off. I know this doesn't patch all the holes in the dike, it is just a swat at practices that I don't like.

I think we are finally arriving at a time to get a new tow rig. I'm thinking I want a Cummins 5.9 24v in a Dodge 2500 or 3500 SRW 4WD. My wife has pretty much decided the megacab is for her. I guess that puts us in the 2006-2007.5 range. If we don't find what we want, I haven't ruled out a...

I've worked on vehicles for a living and that experience doesn't change my opinion that inspecting personal vehicles isn't a business the government should be in. This conversation between our small group exemplifies the scale of diversity of political ideologies that exist in our country. It...

I'd probably use 1-3 20oz paintball co2 cylinders or a couple of fire extinguisher cylinders.

Fair enough. Squeal can be a downside of disc brakes. In my experience, if you keep them very clean, the newer disc brake setups have almost solved the squeal problem. It's my older ones I have to fiddle with. The worst is a first generation XTR disc brake setup...

Why would you guys prefer v-brakes over cable disc? I've got all three and I honestly can't think of a reason why. The amount of ongoing adjustment required on the v-brakes and cable disc is pretty much the same. I prefer the operation of hydraulic disc brakes, but my only beef with that is I...

Anytime we can get less control by government over pretty much any part of our lives, I count that as a good thing. No arguments for those that want to make the place safer, I just don't think it is worth the costs of loss of freedom. No insults intended, but I also have the belief that a...

Probably personal preference, but I would go for the Cannondales. Hydro brakes have a better feel, but cable disk brakes are stupid simple to maintain and work quite well.

That works. Thanks, Shane!

It auctioned for mid teens and sold in the high teens. I think it has 6000 miles on it. This version is super rare. The more common version is a SEE Small Emplacement Excavator and has a front end loader on the front and a folding backhoe on the back.

So one of my unimog buddies called a couple of weeks ago saying he was looking at a unimog in SLC and asked if I would go take a look at it for him. It is an ex-army HMMH (High Mobility Material Handler) used for unloading heavy loads in rough terrain. It is basically a 406 with a forklift...

Thats going to weigh a lot

Grab a scan-gauge or something like it and you can monitor MAP to make sure you are peaking around 22 psi. (That is absolute pressure obviously, not boost pressure) It's an easy way to verify no leaks

Same for me several years.

So Industrial Injection wanted 3k to rebuild yours or is that to purchase new ones? That is crazy!

This is the one area where I've seen stock vehicles have big problems. Depends on the season and conditions. I would get some recent beta before going.
