Sevin Dust. Works wonders on anything with more than 4 limbs. Get the dust and sprinkle some in the cab and around the truck and it should do well to keep all kinds of critters away.

Looks like they go for $40-50 depending on where they're from (new). You may check e-bay periodically for a set of used ones if...
FWIW, I've had good success with a combination of regular and foaming degreaser and a garden hose in getting really nasty parts of the truck clean. Believe it or not, but I can actually climb under the truck and touch just about anything without getting black fingers!
As has been said, It's probably due to mirrors or the like. I'd imagine someone will figure it out for sure via the TM or something.
I've been wondering myself what they are for. Best I could come up with is perhaps they were used during manufacturing to center/mount the bumper?
I think...
RE: Re: towing overwieght
Check the GAWR on your van's rear axles. Look for the max tire weight and make sure that it matches up with your axle's capacity. Ford's 10.5 Sterling axle under your van is rated at 18K GCWR and 6,250 GAWR. But that's provided it has the standard axle and not...
Jeeze! Glad you're ok. Yeah, I'd say those windows are pushing a lot of air out of the way at 60.
Truck's looking awesome! Hurry up and get that white front painted! :)
Two "Never-Starts" from Wal-Mart. I say that kind of tongue-in-cheek because they have always cranked the truck over, even when one was leaking acid. 625 CCA for $35.00 each with 3 year replacement.
I remember that, but at peak operating temperature, you're only cooling the air charge to about 180-200*. I decent intercooler could get those charges much lower than that.
Looking at this:

Has anyone used a hitch like this? After pricing several hitches for a "80's Chevy C30," I was always unsatisfied with the results. Either it was 5K/8K weight or over $200. I thought this would be a better deal (I'd cut...
I think one thing to consider is "power under the curve." That is, power available at ALL rpms and not just peak HP and torque numbers.
While you can certainly blow the motor with the stock turbo, what power level, turbine RPM and CFM level is this occurring at? Shifting to two smaller...
I think you'd be surprised at how the motor will pull once turned up. Mine is still at stock levels, FDC is still connected, and I've never had to downshift going 55 up hills in East TN. 800 torque with the axles geared as low as they are would just about be overkill. I think you would be...
What is the overall diameter of a Mutt wheel/tire combo? Would it be feasible to use them in a civvy trailer application? I have a mil-themed idea, but don't want to give away the plan just yet... 8)
I know the wheel bolt is a 5 x 5.5" pattern; what's the offset?
Finally, does anyone have 5...
