    SRT10 seats in 03

    I changed the 03 seat originally in 04.. it was horrible like siiting on a park bench. I used 04 slt laramie leather. Still have it in storage.. Anyway recently installed SRT10 seats. They are surprisingly lighter than the slt seats I was using.

    Redtruck 2017 PB 11.66@117mph

    I've been trying to get a last shot at the track, but now will have to wait until spring for a track to open. Anyway, Red is still my daily and hopefully motivate some of the other 03 owners to get out and show what they'll do. The only track prep done is to put the slicks on her. I trailer her...

    Limited-slip options?

    Just recently bought a 07 Ram 2500 diesel 4wd with a manual trans and surprisingly it doesn't have traction control. What are my options to install some sort of traction control. I looked at PowerTrax and they don't offer any thing for the 11.5 rearend. Thanks,

    Bits & pieces on the 89'

    Installed the Dynamic timing mod, DE 4" exhaust and installed the sensor for the tach. Got a Denny T pin and spring yet to install, but want to get the gauges in first. No rush while it's cold outside...

    89' D250 12v warm up time?

    With the weather getting colder, I'm seeing warm up time being what I feel is excessively long being more than 15 minutes. The temperature raises slowly and doesn't vary like I have read about in other posts. Being new to diesels I don't have any experience with running this engine but I'm...

    89' D250 Differential ratios?

    Had the old girl on the rack today and thought I'd check the gear ratio. I expected something like 3:55. What I got has me totally confused. First it's a open rear end. I put a chalk mark on the driveshaft and one on a tire. Asked a friend to turn the wheel one full turn and I got 1-1/2 turns on...

    Reasonable horsepower?

    Just bought a 89' D250. What mods are recommended for moderate power increase? I really have a lot to learn and would enjoy hearing what folks are doing to pump up their older trucks. Thanks,

    Kerosene?

    I'm new with owning a diesel (12 valve) and I had a mechanic tell me to run a tank of Kerosene every 4th tank. Actually 25 gallons of Kerosene with 5 gals of diesel. Is that a common recommendation?

    Bed Box

    Needed a bed box to keep stuff from sliding around the bed. Didn't really wanted a new box as I figured it would look like a shiny button on a shirt. But found this flat black one at Tractor Supply and decided it was just what I needed.

    Passenger side steering knuckle help.

    My new to me 1989 2wd D250 has a problem and I need to replace the passenger side steering knuckle. Put it on the alignment rack and it was obvious the top ball joint is both damaged and installed incorrectly. What I think happened is at some point the ball joint was replaced and the threads...

    Officially a 1st Gen member today

    I've always liked the 1st Gen trucks. Almost bought a really nice looking 91 a while back, but couldn't agree on price. I've continued off and on to follow-up on a few that I've found. Surprising to me there are a lot of 1st Gens running around, sadly many have been beat on pretty hard and are...

    BBK 1782 throttle body

    Ole Red responded very nicely to a 90mm throttle body install I did when using a Megsquirt tuner. I've found a BBK for the 05+ and need the newer electrical connector. Anyone have a spare or done a similar install? Thanks,

    Hitch extension

    Bent my pan the other week hooking up to the trailer. Went to retrieve my mower today after installing an eight inch extension. Worked great and honestly a lot easier to hook up. Put new shorter Gorilla nuts on the other day. Still haven't repaired the pan. Maybe next week...

    SuperChip info

    I had a glitch with my SC3865 recently and got excellent service support when I called SuperChips for help. I was asked if my voltage was above 12.8vdc when I was installing the tuner that failed to load. I told him I honestly didn't know. But I had all the electrical stuff turned off. So...

    Rear axle noise

    The other night I heard a harmonic rumble from the drive train. Did the standard diagnostic stuff and figured it was a pinion bearing. I had rebuilt the axle about 2 years ago and was surprised and disappointed that I was having a problem so soon. Anyway, tore it apart and found the front pinion...
