    Exhaust manifold bolt pattern?

    I thought about jacking up the engine, but then I saw those hard lines coming from the radiator and didn't want to bend anything up. Also couldn't figure what part of the mount I could unbolt then get back together. I had an old Craftsman 90° drill but by the time I got it wedged in I didn't...

    Exhaust manifold bolt pattern?

    2am.......I was hunched in that wheel well till 2am trying to get that last bolt out! Gave up on it after breaking off a screw extractor in it and put things back together. Might try again after I get it inspected. All that aside, I was able to use the Lisle drill plate. Only difference...

    Exhaust manifold bolt pattern?

    I looked at a couple different web sites and the part numbers are the same for the exhaust manifold and the gaskets. Oddly enough none of them offer the driver's side manifold for a 6.4.

    Exhaust manifold bolt pattern?

    Do the 5.7 and 6.4 use the same bolt pattern for the exhaust manifold? I'm having issues getting some snapped bolts out of my passenger side head. The 3 on the back port all broke off 1/16" or so below the surface. I tried welding a nut on one and the weld bonded the head. I got 1 with an...

    Treadwright Tires

    I haven't tried any off road yet with them yet. Just been back and forth to work. I have some dirt roads around, but nowhere to hit mud without trespassing.

    Treadwright Tires

    I got up early Tuesday and had my tires mounted before work. I explained to the mechanic about the tires and that they might take extra weight to balance. As it turned out they balanced quite well. One took 1oz and the others took 3-4oz of weights. As for the ride, they do have a little...

    Treadwright Tires

    My tires showed up as scheduled. They look like new tires. Only one tire has a liner repair, but I don't think this is going to be an issue. I've got an appointment next Tuesday to get them mounted.

    Treadwright Tires

    I was looking at a couple places Sunday night comparing prices. I pulled up Treadwright's website to find they were running a March Madness sale, 15% off. After going back and forth I decided to pull the trigger on a set of the Axiom AT. They should be here Thursday. Not bad for standard...

    Treadwright Tires

    Recaps (retreads) you buff down the tread only. A strip of premade tread is then glued on. The tire retains its original sidewall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udSUYURoDUc The remold process puts new rubber from bead to bead. The tire is then put in the same molding presses used in new...

    Treadwright Tires

    These tires are not retreaded. They buff the tire down to the core and take a little off the sidewalls. The rest of the process is the same as if they were making a new tire.

    Treadwright Tires

    I've been considering getting a set of Treadwright tires. I've read some good things about them, and a fair amount of bad things, so I thought I would ask on here for some feedback. I'm looking at either a Warden or Axiom. My truck is my daily driver so I need something with decent highway...

    Brake controller issues

    18CrewDually no, I don't think I tried it over 15mph BossHogg the trailer is a 2016. I pulled it a few times before I bought it and I think things worked then. It has the factory brake controller. I have not tried to pull the break away and move it, but I will try it this weekend. 2003F350 I...

    Brake controller issues

    The other day I took my car trailer in for an inspection. Before I dropped it they had me go thru the lights, and then asked me to pull forward and manually engage the trailer brakes. As I pulled forward and activated the stock controller nothing seemed to happen. We tried it in reverse with...

    Oil filler cap

    Yesterday I lifted the hood on my 2500 to change the oil to find that my filler cap was missing. I'm not sure how long it has been missing, haven't had the hood open in a while. I finished my oil change and stuffed a rag in the hole till I could get another cap. I looked online at 4 different...

    That is the only picture I have. I'll have to ask my cousin for more later.

    Pre 1981 Power Wagons

    We never measured the bolt pattern. I would guess they are 6 x 5.5, but I don't have access to the truck to check. If the axles are in good shape I think we are going to use them. They do have Warn locking hubs on the front, so that's a plus. Thank you for the insight. I know this is kind...

    Pre 1981 Power Wagons

    My cousin is in the process of building a '72 Power Wagon for his daughter. Does anyone know a good forum to research these trucks? His truck has 6 bolt wheels, but the '75 he bought to replace the frame has 5 bolt wheels (only came with the front axle). Where these trucks offered with 6 bolt...

    Heavy Hauling Question

    I drove big rigs for 8 years. One thing that I hated to see was someone out in the left lane on a hill because he could maintain 2MPH faster then the guy in front of him. Even the big trucks run out of power on hills under heavy loads. If I had to drop a gear it didn't get me up the hill any...

    Banks Back-End

    I watched the first couple research videos a while back. Was really interesting to see what goes on in there. I watched the video on this cover and I think it would be a good investment. 2 questions though. I looked on their website and they do not have the 6.4 listed as a engine option...

    My drop in load floor

    I wasn't sure where to put this. It is kind of a DIY, but there is already an 18 page post on a folding load floor. It is kind of an interior project, but I'm not asking how to do it, I just want to share what I made. I do craft shows from time to time and I needed a flat surface in the back...

    Mud flaps yes or no

    These are my mud flaps. I work at a glass plant spotting trailers. One day a driver backed into a snow bank and ripped this mud flap off his tractor.....bracket and all! I don't think he even realized he did it. Never picked it up, so I took it home and split it in half. I made a cardboard...

    What the heck are these ?

    Commercial vehicle status would depend on the state in which the vehicle is registered. In PA a truck is not considered commercial unless it is registered over 11,000 lbs. (4B sticker). PA also does not go by GCWR, therefore, as long as the trailer itself is not loaded past a GWV of 10,000 you...
