    6.2 Civi Vs. Military

    This is good advice on most all motors iv found , the Ford 7.3 was the same way , the last year they built it was the best year to have for just the reasons you mention . Now with the over the top emissions 07 and never , not so much the case .

    paint job

    I think the " reasonable price " part is going to be a probable . Paint has went nuts the last few years . Local auto parts wanted 256.00 a gallon for sherman williams paint .

    395 retreads?

    Recaps got a bad rep years ago when caps would come off . Today that is pretty rare to have happen . My experience , as long as the casing you are having capped is in good shape a cap should be fine . The company doing the work will take a good look at the casing before capping it . I have...

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Im surprised no one has mentioned balance . Rod/crank and piston assembles are balanced to run at a certain rpm . Tire dont bounce at 30 but it does at 50 or 60 , blance issue . Im sure it comes into play on there motors as well . Rod strenght and design too . Several factors combined im sure...

    Snow plows

    Dissadvantage i see , no PS , big turn radius , cost of plow . your standard 7' or even 8 ' plow is to small , your duals will run in snow . 9 ' gets pretty pricey and your not going to find a used one to easy . Long straight drive or private road im sure it would do great though .

    What tire pressure works for you?

    Well this is a loaded question , as many answers as there will be replies . Whats marked on a tire is NOT the recommend for your vehicle . Mythbusters did some testing on this regarding MPG . For a standard full size auto from 35 psi up gained little to nothing . 1st see if the vehicle...

    Frozen Diesel Fuel - OK to use ?

    Iv never seen diesel freeze , i assume you mean thickened or congelled . That dont hurt it any . Product called heat prevents this issue or add kerosen will do the trick also . I dont bother until temps drop down to + 10 or lower , then even the so called treated fuel can be a problem .

    Whats the real Truth ???

    Stop trying to " jack " the price of your truck up . You failed to mention the maintence records you got with it . 14 motors , 9 trasnmissions and what about the 12 crashes it had been in ? BUSTED Im a Sergeant Major < see under dragonwagon . Nice try " private "

    Winter trail run Mid to Norhern MI ?

    Kasper i dont see why your rig wouldnt work just fine . As far as digging out , seldom going to take more then a little jerk on a strap , its not like mud that sucks you in and holds you there . My deuce seems to have a pretty good heater and i work out in the cold so im acclimated to it...
