    Possible HPOP issue

    The other day out of the blue the truck started taking an excessive amount of time to crank and fire. Once it was warm it would crank and fire right up. From all the research of done it looks like the o-rings on the hpop are shot. So that being the case is there anything else I should do while...

    Question How much does it weigh?

    I fully understood you and did realize he was from MS just wanted to make sure that your state didn't have separate laws commercial vs. non-commercial. Not everyone is as well informed as you are. According to your state's DOT it says over 10k GCWR for non commericial requires a DOT number? That...

    Question How much does it weigh?

    Your state must be different than mine because GVW on non-commercial vehicles here only applies to the weight of the truck not the cargo in tow. For instance my truck with my 5th wheel toyhauler is right under 10k but the trailer in tow makes my GCW 21k. My truck is rated for 23k so I'm in fact...

    Question How much does it weigh?

    My 2005 crew short box with a full tank and me in it came in at 6900lbs. That being said my GVWR is 10000.

    Help Needed Fuel Guage Problem

    It's the sending unit and it'll get worse when it gets cold. I just had mine replaced after dealing with it for a couple of winters. I didn't have any issues during spring summer and fall so I didn't seem to worry about it but late last summer it happened so I had it replaced under my extended...

    blown rear end. fantastic.

    You'd have to talk to ARB to see if that would work. I'd worry about that compressor having to much line pressure and blowing out the seals. ARB sells two different compressors one for just running the lockers that is quite compact for easier mounting and another than can be used for operating...

    PM Sent if you still want them. $175 for a piece of plastic with three LEDs seems a bit steep.:eek:

    Absolutely. We only have county sheriffs who patrol out here and they're few and far between and have better things to do like bust methlabs that have spawned these thieving idiots. We had confirmation that two of the guys that had prowled several cars in the area where in fact part of a methlab...

    Just make sure he turns around before you fire that way you can say he reached in his pocket and you thought he had a gun. I let my german sheperd chase a guy down who had popped out my slider in my driveway. After he faceplanted on the ground I called the dog off and he split before I could get...

    I agree completely with this I used to be a car audio/video/security installer and I had people ask me to use bolt the radio in with back strapping so it couldn't be stolen. It was easy to explain that a stolen stereo was better than a completely destroyed dash and a broken stereo. I would much...

    I've got a set of the orange lenses from when I replaced mine with smoked lenses. If you have paypal I'll sell them to you cheap. You pay shipping.

    None if he didn't do anything but drive on the highway.Considering his truck more than likely came from the factory with an LSD the cost of an open carrier plus spider gears will damn near cost as much as an aftermarket one. Plus if he gets one that has a low bias ratio then it will act much...

    Question Oasis Question?

    I guess I'm just lucky that all three dealers within a short radius of me would much rather put studs in at their labor cost minus the price difference of the bolts to studs. Only about $150 and the dealer even procures them. That being said I've never had it done because I've never had a head...

    What kind of mileage from 6.0L?

    14-16 empty, 8-12 loaded

    blown rear end. fantastic.

    Economical yes, practical I don't agree. A Limited slip would be more practical. If you're willing to spend the money having the ability to have 100% lock when you need it and unlocked when you don't is the best of both worlds. The best part is they're definitely stronger than the stock garbage...

    blown rear end. fantastic.

    It really depends on what you do with your truck. If you tow a heavy fifth wheel or other heavy loads consistently you'd love them with 35s. I've got a friend with an almost identical setup with 4.56s and he runs 35s but now that he does more unloaded freeway driving he wants to drop down to...

    Question Oasis Question?

    I know this is old but the dealers around here recommended installing them and only asked for us to pay the difference between them and the stock bolts. That way they never had to see us again. I wish all dealers had the fix it right mentality.

    blown rear end. fantastic.

    I think the gain from having it open vs. a limited slip would be negligible but I'm sure losing some weight in the form of smaller rubber would help tremendously. :lmao It does look badass though.:sweet

    The only reason you see more broken ARBs in crawling is more people run them. Detroits usually blow up side gears if you break an axleshaft where the ARBs tend to just keep on ticking. They have also redesigned most of the applications as a 4pinion unit vs. the old style 3pinion. I wish I had...

    Definitely stay away from the spool on the street. You're a little backwards on the detroit in that it's locked until those unique load situations where it disengages and it doesn't doe it nicely. I have one in my wheeler and wouldn't put one in my truck. The trutrac has a high bias ratio and if...

    Regular Unleaded put in my diesel.. help

    You've gotta remember that 1.5gallons in a tank that size doesn't leave a lot of fuel covering the pump so add to that fuel moving around in the tank and you end up sucking air into the lines I did that one time in the first year I owned mine too but I was able to shut it off and fill up before...
