    Half a million miles, how many more?

    I do have a friend who runs a 7.3 in a P/up hotshot. I've never owned a Ford and we go at each other quite abit. Fun. He has 750,000 on his pulling a gooseneck and still hasn't had any major problems. Don't know about tranny. Your statement about warming up, I hope you don't do an idle warm...

    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    Looks great and I to like the oversize tail lights. I made my concerns earlier about the reinforcing at the top above the door. With the majority of the weight being behind the rear wheels the weight and the flex of the box when pulling into driveways etc will cause the corners to crack. The...

    Tires and Odometer Variance

    I don't currently run Scan Gauge but wondered if it would be more accurate or if its pulling from existing on board figures. As for tail wind and figuring it into the figures, perhaps if I could get OVM to stay behind me for a long run I'll get statistically better figures. Ha! Thanks for...

    This might help. Using Performance Monitor : Linear Logic : Home of the ScanGauge If your running the size tire that the vehicle calls for there should be no variance. Scan guages measure throught the loop or electronically. This might also help...

    Hit and run driver

    You might track the last states he ran in and contact state police. Give them the trucks serial number and see if any accidents were recorded. If a wrecker did pull it and the police were called they would have a record.

    What went wrong ?

    Sometimes (depending on how old the tires are) tires get broken in on a vehicle and can't be used on another. Something about seperation of the steel belts. If they are not all position tires that happens. All newer tires now are all position but you could have gotten an older set that's...

    GM CV owners

    I've had several GM C/Vans. I would R&R the radiator. Don't mess with fixing it, it isn't worth it. Later model radiators usually leak at the top tank where it's plastic. Since you have the radiator out check the fan pulley to make sure it's tight. My last van I installed an electric fan...

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    I started with one C/Van and got Sams club RV road service. I added another c/van and another membership. They do bring gas no questions asked and fix tires, no problem. When I added a Straight I added it to the membership again no questions and they changed a tire on the road. I gave the...

    *need help* out of fuel!!!

    I do have Good Sam Platnum for my Straight truck and used to have it on two C/Vans. They have come out and changed tires for both without any problems or cost. I did tip the wrecker driver for changing the Straight truck tire. I do lease the straight truck and the leasing company could not...
