    First time truck buyer looking for some advice

    A well maintained diesel with 100K-150K miles on it isn't an issue. Ask for service records, and look at the condition of the rest of the truck, too. Usually, people who take care of the truck's exterior and interior, also keep up with mechanical maintenance and services.

    Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy/GMS

    I've owned all three. My observation has been that the GM 5.3L gets the best all around mpg's. Ram would be next, and Ford would be third. The GM's get around 18mpg's, Dodge around 16, and Ford around 15mpg over all. The Ram has the most HP and (more importantly) Torque, the GM is next, and...

    figured someone needed to get the ball rolling - 1967 C10

    I have a friend in Alaska who has a 318/390 stroker in his regular cab dually 250, and swears by it. I refer to his truck as "the Moose Magnet", as that drive train and chassis and bed are probably the only virgin parts on that truck. lol I know the front clip has been changed a few times, after...

    Neighbors Sue Man for Working on Cars in His Garage

    Actually, it's about zoning. If zoning in his neighborhood allows what he's doing, then there's no problem. If not, then he's in violation of zoning laws and codes. PERIOD. It's not emotional, it's not about what any of us think and like, it about zoning, period.

    magnum 5.9 needs wake up.

    I'm considering the swap for an 86 Dodge B150 full size passenger van, with the 127" Wheel base. I have a lead on a "built" 5.7L Hemi with thrans from a truck. Owner claims 430HP 390Tq. with documentation to prove it. He's asking more than I'm willint to pay, but said he's willingto negotiate a...

    magnum 5.9 needs wake up.

    Never intimated there was anything wrong with a 5.9 Mag engine. That's not why I asked the question. The fact is a new Hemi "take out" engine, can give you nearly 400hp, AND 20mpg. RWHP for the 5.9 Mag is 175(+/-) or approximately 100 rwhp less than the 5.7L Hemi. A friend did that swap on...

    magnum 5.9 needs wake up.

    Ever consider an engine swap to a Hemi? You can get complete take out engines/trans with all the electronics fairly inexpensively. Sounds drastic, but it's not a difficult swap.

    Hey GM guys!

    LMAO... I have 2 Crew cab Rams (2500 Diesel, and a 3500 diesel 4wd.) a GMC Sierra Crew 5.3L, a Silverado long bed 4.8L, and a Ford E150 passenger van 5.8L, and let me tell you, once you get past brand loyalty, and the various list prices, there isn't much difference in the "cost of ownership"...

    my 2003 dodge ram 1500 4x4 qad cab

    The new 1500 Hemi Rams get much better mpg's. Avg about 17+ mpg. Long runs on the interstate 200-300 miles or more can see 19mpg.

    My CN-800

    The "L's" were some ugly ass trucks, but I love 'em!!!!!! I drove one with a 20' box behind it back in the early 70's ('67 L-700 361-3 gas engine). It was pretty used up by then, but it was a work horse. One of my co-workers used to refer to it a S-N-S (Slow, noisy and Smelly) lol
