My engine has a BBQ'd #6 piston. I was looking at my little cross member and wondered if I could just cut it out enough to drop the oil pan and then tab it and bolt it back in. Just curious if it has been done or if everyone lifts the engine?

Basically #6 cylinder in my 07 5.9 has a compression issue so I'm down to the point of rebuild or replace. I'm leaning toward a low mileage wreck from copart and wondered if a 6.7 will work with 5.9 computer and electric or just the block and head. If not I'll keep shopping for a 5.9 but if a...

Ok , I already have a raptor and it works fine. Problem is the sending unit went out and the gauge reads E so the new sending unit comes with an intank pump. So what do I do? I just want the gauge to work. Don't I need a different harness for the intank pump to work and wouldn't that pump burn...

I mean really, Can't anyone read and understand the federal dot laws enough to know whether or not they need this kind of a license.

Thats what I'm looking for.

I was looking up under my new 01 today and noticed it had drums in the rear. The 01 parts truck I had were discs on the rear. Both are dana 80. When was the switch? I'm guessing 01.5 but I thought the change was in 00.

Ok guys I went and picked up my new to me 2001 3500 qc 2wd 5sp. I got to the dealer and went for a little test drive and all I could think of was all these years of owning diesel trucks I finally got the missing link, 5sp. The 300 plus mile trip back she was hauling my trailer and Excursion that...

The d70 I took out of my 98 has that stupid brake metering valve and I want to take it out before I put it under my 1/2 ton project. Has anyone done this? I just want some pointers or tips before I go hacking on stuff and buying more parts than I need. How is the t-fitting attached to the axle...

I am just curious who is pulling a 5th wheel with their mega cab and what hitch your using?

That is bothering me. It is time for me to swap gears from the 3.54's I got now. I got to get a new carrier for sure. This is my dedicated hauler with 315's on it. I have needed to do the swap for a while now but now I NEED to swap. I got to rely on the thoughts out there because I have never...

It is a project that I will never finish. I had planned on putting a cummins in it but I just don't have the time. The truck is a roller with no bed and a bad v-6 with a 46re behind it. The interior is standard work truck interior and is in good condition. I did install a power cloth seat from a...

2008 Ponderosa 16' bumper pull stock trailer. I bought it new and only used it when we moved. It has never had an animal in it. Has maybe 1,000 miles on it. 3,500lbs torsion axles with brakes on both. Curb side door, Cut gate and a standard swinging rear gate (No Slide). The Only thing I have...

I have a 2000 quad cab (Just the cab), It is mostly gutted with exception of most of the dash. Basically just a quad cab shell. The doors are good and all glass except for the windshield. It does have all interior plastic trim and the rear seat. I also have a 2000 3500 2wd quad cab frame...

Here is the ? Will a limited slip unit from a 2nd Gen Dana 70 fit a 1st gen dually Dana? Are the spline counts the same? Work or not work?

That is my question. Since my truck now has a 80 disc in the rear I am curious how far the brake pedal goes for you guys that have ran full discs for a while? I have done an old school brake bleed all the way around and the pedal wasn't far from the floor using it decently to stop. Next I did a...
