Wow, I hope your pride is ok as well. I think you chose wisely but the minds of pretend commuters is well at best terrible. With all the distractions that go on when the primary is to be in control at all times while driving. Of course the emptyhead did not stop? And take the blame for being a...

What a test of fortitude. Sure is fun when mileage goes by, but the bugs on the front glass get to be a chore to see through at night. The Quest continues. :driver:

Well shucks I missed it. I am a mile from the Festus pickup point. Never seen the truck. Good Luck

Does not belong in the converter area. I can not see it to clear but maybe from the front pump on the transmission. Doubtful as hex head bolts are used.

All I do is keep the neg cable snug enough to pull off in case of runaway. I will place inline battery disconnect switch at some point. They cost from 20.00 bucks up to 130.00. I just replaced the relay with new one even though the one that was there looked new anyway. Do not overtax the relay...

I have to agree that some kind of flat paint covering the civilian shine would be appropriate.

When replacing head gasket I would replace head bolts also.

One thing to look at is the ground strap between the engine and the firewall. Second ground at the engine to the battery, to the core support. As chevymike has said when all grounds fail then the brake lines act as a ground and get smoking hot. I have seen it happen. I have seen oil cooler...

If you do not own any line wrenches now is a good time to invest in some before you round off flare nuts on the injector lines. Clean and keep clean, dirt is your enemy here or anywhere there is fuel going into any fuel line. Do not twist off lines. If one seems to be rusted up put some...

If the truck is there, altogether, offer up 500.00. Every part of the country has a price point for parts alone. Only you can decide what the value is to you. But do not let the fever get you. Decide if the truck is worth a rebuild or for parts. If you are deciding to get the truck mobile then...

Nice Tractor Trailer combination. Looks Great RAYZER!
