It is a mechanically injected, naturally aspirated, Non computer controlled, 30 year old engine. It is pretty amazing that they do not smoke a lot more than they do. Rick

I have never met you but somewhere I seem to remember you described your size as being akin to your avatar? In a Vette? I am 6'3" and I fit into one quite well when I was 35 but at 60................................the fit is not the problem. The entry and exit is.:oops: Rick

Paragraph one...........BINGO. Paragraph two............You may have just fallen into the best deal of your life, do not abuse it. Do NOT talk about your parents while there. I suggest you just put your parents out of your mind altogether and just move on. Prove to them you can do this and do...

You are headed in the right direction and you are realizing what the issues and problems are. Including not wanting to rid yourself of the vehicles. I would be VERY careful of that living arrangement bacause nothing in life is free. You move in with three women and you are in for a world of...

Listening to you talk you are up and down drastically. You really should talk to a counselor. I am not trying to be a smart azz here, you have some anger issues to deal with. You seem to hate your family with a passion. Your finances are not going to magically repair themselves like you seem to...

And to add insult to injury what do you see in the last pic of the totaled truck? FORKLIFT damage! Go figure. Those guys are real lucky that nothing come through the box and back of the cab. I have seen a lot of accidents with those types of trucks where the stuff in the back comes right through...

It is 03:30, your wife is that far along and you are on the computer doing admin stuff?!!!! I am almost afraid to ask how the baby came about! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now get the **** out of here! Rick

I learned a long time ago, never run automotive (light truck) tires on a tandem axle trailer. They can not handle the side loads. Use only trailer tires which are marked ST on the sidewall. Rick

I think Clinto may have crossed the Mississippi by now. Better decide quick!:twisted::twisted:

They are working this out peacefully on their own now and you are trying to rile them up. That is stirring the pot. How about for once we let one run it's coarse quietly? Rick

Stop trying to stir the pot.

Driveshafts are out AND a couple axles are out. I am guessing you might be looking at something locked up. It is in amazing condition though.

Scarryy, This does not mean it was right but it is true that a lot of trucks are sold this way so I do not think there was any malice there. I was also going to say I thought you two were handling this quite well and was going to admonish those that are trying to get you two to fight and then...

I would think if someone were going to hijack guns from a military convoy they would be prepared for a lot more than one gun per vehicle. That type of an operation would be fairly well thought out and planned. Rick

Bigger is not always better. Like I said, If you are tearing up 400's then you either need a different tranny builder or you need to figure out what YOU, not the tranny, is doing wrong. Built right these transmissions are almost indestructible. If you are tearing up the 400's then you will tear...

More than once I have been waved into the convoy line at JBMDL. I live along the ranges so I have to use the same road as they do and yes they are armed with live ammo. Difference being is that I am waved into the line by them, it is obvious I am not military. I am in civvies and driving a 50...

I am not looking for a fight, I have been a master mechanic for 40 plus years and I have done just a couple (thousand) transmission fluid changes. Changing the fluid does not make it slip. There is always a mitigating factor. In this case I am betting the filter was not pushed all the way in or...

You had a tranny guy tell you that old clutch material helps the clutch's hook up? Okaaaay......................... If you use the right transmission fluid that is called for by the manufacturer then it will have all the friction modifiers you need. I bought my truck with 2900 miles on it and...

I think the locked motor and the gallon of coolant in the pan are pretty good clues that you have a little more than rust issues. I think you have an extra hole in there. Rick

Disconnect the linkage at the transmission, make sure wheels are chocked. Put shifter in "N", Go under truck and move trans linkage two clicks from park. Shift linkage should line up and go right in, if not adjust until it fits. I don't think this is going to be your problem because you would...
