    My life in Finland!

    Things are getting nuts or is already. Bought a 250v 50amp plug today and it was 22 bucks and made in China and it's a POS!!

    I got a new tool

    I built a 'pad' from 5''x5'' square tube and welded a 1/2" steel plate on them then welded on some threaded studs to bolt down my changer and a tubing bender. Problem is I sold my old style tire changer (along with a lot of other stuff) when my divorce started back in 2017 thinking that I would...

    Certificate of Conformity

    You might sign into FBBO or even FABO or both....lots of people at those sites and would think there would be someone there that might know what to do. There are links to both of those sites at the bottom of the page and are owned by the same person that owns this truck site. Post up what you...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Grilling burgers on a breezy cloudy day when the temp is 39 (way below the norm) but it's now 43 but supposed to hit a very hot high of 45. Can't stay in the house but the temp swings here is nuts lately. Supposed to be in the 60's for a high tomorrow but raining. Eh, got more to grille so long...

    Certificate of Conformity

    Looks like someone already restored it because it's way too nice to be a survivor.....anyways, nice truck! And I have no idea which way to turn on getting it registered. Is it possible to trace it back to other owners to find out if it's been restored? If paper work is needed to prove...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    I assume it still runs good or you wouldn't be doing that to a rot bucket? Glad I live in the south! My newest vehicle is a 97 Dodge 2500....and absolutely no rust.

    Towing with a Ram 1500 regular cab short bed

    Glad mine only had 4.10's....and tried to kill them a bit with the 33's. Tried to slow down like that too and it didn't make a hill of beans. Having a 650DP on it probably didn't help any either lol

    Towing with a Ram 1500 regular cab short bed

    The 1 ton in my avatar wasn't a bad truck to pull with but the early diesels were pretty lame but it acted pretty much the same empty or loaded lol. Same way with my 97 2500 diesel Club Cab lwb but it has much more power and my old 79 1 ton single wheel Club Cab lwb was a good one too except for...

    Emission testing in California

    Are the older vehicles from other states cheaper and will CA let you bring them in? Never dreamed we would have a commie state within the boundaries of the United States. CA sure doesn't seem to be too united anymore. I know they won't let in the old 18 wheelers and other big trucks...

    Emission testing in California

    But in the long run the older trucks will end up being cheaper, wouldn't they? I hear catalytic converters for California are about twice the price of the rest of the nation and they only last about half the time as the ones for the rest of the nation?

    Shoot me now before the wife does

    We get a little bit of that brine crap too but it's mostly sand that's used when it gets cold enough to freeze the overpasses etc. Two years ago when we got that hard freeze, I only went down the street a bit to look at some things that were froze up and the restaurant parking lot was frozen...

    Shoot me now before the wife does

    Both of my Dakota's are totally rust free.....no salt on the roads here and very rarely went to Galveston with them and drove on the beach.

    Shoot me now before the wife does

    I'm waiting on my 95 to bite the dust and then pull the 22 gallon tank from it. Everything on it still works including the AC but nothing works all that good anymore lol. The dang thing still has the original rear brakes on it. The only major thing to go wrong with it was the original computer...

    Emission testing in California

    In Texas, once the vehicle hits 25 years old, no more testing and I'm glad of that!! My newest vehicle is a 97....

    Shoot me now before the wife does

    What's his crazy asking price? I found a really nice 96 reg cab short box nearly 4 years ago and got it for 2500. It had been on CL for a long time at 3500. The tires were old and it didn't have a V8 and offered 25. I probably could have got it cheaper because he jumped at it. Discuss the good...

    Have you ever had to let a friend go?

    Looks like this thread hasn't gone as well as it did at FBBO.....did you post this on all of Joey's forums?

    Small block 4 speed to big block 4 speed swap

    The 383 has a lower deck height than the RB engines so it may clear....can't remember off hand how much lower the DH is on the 383 but it's easy to find out. Staying with a small block would make things easier but the oil pan from the teen will not fit the 360. Also, the teen is internal...

    Best way to drain diesel from a 97 2500

    All that's available around here these days is bio crap. And 'dino' fuel is a misnomer.
