I have a Reese Titan 2.5" receiver hitch off my 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD for sale. I sold the truck with the factory 2" hitch so this one is just sitting around now. Could use some paint work but structurally it's fine. It's rated for 18,000lbs trailer weight and 2,000lbs tongue weight. It...

I have a DrawTite UltraFrame (Model 91943) 2" receiver hitch that I took off my 2012 F550. Hitch was used for less then 2 years and is in good condition but in need of being painted to be in new condition again. The hitch should fit Ford Superduty 1999-2015 cab and chassis trucks but I can not...

I'm looking to replace my 2006 Chevy 2500HD with a dually of some sorts. I was leaning towards going with a 550 so in the future I can hopefully not repeat the process of buying a truck and in 1-2yrs it's to "small" for the work load I depend on it for. I could probably get buy with a properly...

Has anyone tried or successfully used a magnet designed for a Dexter 12k axle in a 10k axle/brake assembly? I've heard of guys putting 10k magnets in the smaller axles and wondered if the same idea could be done with a 10k axle. I've got a couple bad magnets on my trailer brakes now and figured...

I have a 2006 ec/lb Chevy 2500HD with a 4-6" Cognito lift set at 4" in the front with a 2" block in the rear. I'm running the factory leaf springs with firestone air bags. When the lift was installed about 2 years ago I got the Bilstein 5100 shocks for all 4 corners. As of right now one of the...

So I've been doing some thinking the last few days and I've come to a point where I'm looking for others thoughts and ideas. My current situation is that my truck does everything I need it to, but I know there is better out there. Mostly when it comes to towing. I pull a 28' deck over...

I'm looking to redo the paint on my trailer and I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to get all the deck boards off. Seeing as how the fasteners are all rusted unscrewing them probably isn't an option. Torch them off and push the screws back through the boards once their off the trailer...

Truck is owned by a friend of a friend who I've met twice briefly. 1995 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4. 12 valve Cummins/ Auto (auto needs a rebuild, said it won't even move and was slipping for well over a year) Reg Cab/ 8' Dually Bed 184/5k Said the alternator is also junk or needs a rebuild. Didn't say...

My truck is due for tires and I'm not really a fan of my current wheels so I'm thinking about changing it up. I was looking into Rickson Steel 19.5s and a somewhat aggressive 265 tire all the way around. My pickup, a 06 Chevy 2500Hd 4x4 Is my daily driver but also doubles as my work truck on the...

I'm looking to purchase a trailer and I see where a lot of guys register them out of state to save on cost but still be legal. Does anyone else do something similar? And before someone says just pay for IL plates, their $722/yr plus 2 inspections at $21-25 each. I'm looking for a cheaper...

I'm looking for a Drw Dana 80 with 4.10s and a posi. It's going in an 03 7.3. The closer you are to N. IL, IL/WI border the better. Only interested in a working axle, trying to decide if it's going to be easier and more cost effecting to swap rear axles or rebuild the one that's in the truck...

I'm looking into getting a flatbed gooseneck with atleast a 20,000lb gvwr. I'll most likely be buying used and am finding plenty of tandem dual axle trailers with 10k or 12k axles and triple axle trailers with 7k axles. I've only pulled tandem dual goosenecks (a PJ and a Hillsboro 700) so I'm...

I'm somewhat interested in an 03 dmax a friend of my uncle is selling. I've always been a bit leery of the lb7's for the injectors so I haven't kept my knowledge on them up very well. I had never really considered one until this one came along. 03 GMC 2500hd, LB7/Ally. Push button 4x4. EC/SB...
