    40 Dodge

    Came across a 40 Business Coupe searching the webs and was looking at the pics. It is a pretty cool and pretty original except for the power plant in it. Looks like it has a 57-58 1st Gen 392 Hemi in it. Says Chrysler FirePower on the valve covers, has the dual quad set up on it. Looks like...

    HD Brakes/ Tailgate Not Locking

    Ok guys, Got the truck inspected and tires rotated on the dually. My friend that works at the shop said I need new rotors and pads before not too much longer. He said go with OEM if I can and not drop big money on the higher end kits....from what I'm seeing, OEM pads and rotors cost as much...

    So This Is What Ill Be Towing From Now On

    2022 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 260Rd. Nice upgrade from the tow behind. More room for these goofs: 7612 lbs dry weight. 9995 lbs gross weight. Pin is less than 1300 lbs., and a Demco slider to go with it. I think I'll be good...lol. Just need to add the pucks and the plug inside...

    Yeah, I Went Too Much....

    Yup, my stupidity went a bit overboard when getting a load of stone today. Borrowed my brother's 14ft high side dump trailer. 3904lbs trailer 6 yards of pea gravel WAY TOO MUCH...... I went a short distance less than 6 miles. Still way too much. I looked up what a yard of pea gravel...

    03 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited purchase

    Middle son has been stoning me for a vehicle, tried to find something reasonable in a Ram, but that isn't happening....used truck prices around here are through the roof even for Gen3s. Found a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited for sale locally. Reach out and I know the gent selling it. 114k...

    The Joys of Winter Repairs

    My eldest son two days ago sends me a text at 0121hrs, stating the ABS/Brake lights lit up on the dash and there is a squeeling sound..... In the morning I see the truck is parked in the driveway. I go to work, nd swing back to the house and eventually get him up to take the vehicle to get...

    I Guess I'm Spoiled...

    As most of you know, my two boys have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 for them to drive. I've replaced the tailgate, pads/rotors, grill, tires, taillights and headlights.... The new headlights are better than the OEM ones but are still lacking for light output....sorely lacking compared to mine. I just...

    Kids...

    Well.... Middle son goes to work on Saturday morning after having the snow dump on us for the night. Apparently he did not let the truck warm up with the heat blasting the windshield. Windshield is snow & ice covered. So instead of waiting a few minutes or just scrape off the windshield, he...

    New Tires

    No this is not a post asking for what tires I should go with...LOL. Just bought Nokian Outpost A/T's for the 05. Decent tread pattern and are pretty good for road noise.

    Just Got My Blackstone Analysis Back

    I guess it's pretty good with the Amsoil and Amsoil filter at over 14k miles for the oil change.

    70 Barrcuda

    Really thinking about finding one...I've seen the Hemi clones, the AAR's, and the R/T 440's... An original R/T Hemi or 440/6 would be probably way out of my price range. I've seen the 383ci Gran Coupe's with the 4 speed pistol grip Hurst shifter that are not too badly priced. I've only seen a...

    4 Pin/ 7 Pin Trailer Hook Up Issues

    So, I had a Opt7 tailgate light bar that I had laying around and decided to see if it would work on the kids 05 Ram. Check out the 4 pin plug that is there, and it had some bad corrosion on it. Cleaned it and hooked it up. Only thing I got was the bottom red running light. No turn/hazard...

    Monroe Gas Magnum/Load Adjusting Shocks

    Driving my son's truck (2005 1500/4.7L regular cab long bed) the other day, hit a bump and it felt like the whole truck jumped a half a foot to one side. Decided that the truck needed new shocks. Ordered the Monroe Gas Magnums for the front and the Monroe Load Adjusters for the rear. Tonight...

    Replacement Tailgate....

    Because the tailgate on my son's truck was so badly mangled prior to purchase, I told my son I would get a replacement for it. Tried locally through the various auto recyclers with nothing. Broke down and bought one from a big web parts store. It arrived yesterday. Opened the box and this is...

    OK, after finally getting the kid's truck registered & insured so I don't have to keep running him all over the place, the next day we got the brake rotors and pads changed on it as the truck sat for a year without being driven so everything rusted....yay! Getting the calipers and brackets off...

    Payload and Towing, Information and Where to Find It

    Maybe this can become a sticky, not going to give any opinions or conjecture. Just a start where to look stuff up to find cargo & towing information. This is the location of the cargo capacity sticker on the driver's side door jamb. This is what it looks like and has the cargo capacity...
