I wholeheartedly agree with the crossover steering. I did the conversion on my 12V powered 88' Chevy 2wd. You will need a 2wd steering box and the Offroad Design parts simply bolt in. My Crew-Cab was already 2wd so all I had to do was mount their drop pitman arm and steering arms for the 60 and...

Hey guys, I have an 88' Chevy Crew-Cab that I transplanted a 92' 12V into. I have a fuel leak that appears to be the fuel filter....which I replaced. Thought that would fix my problem. I owned an 01' 24V previously so this 12V is a little different to me. The fuel appears to be leaking...

The 1/2tons in that vintage came with 12 bolt rears exclusively. And 12 bolt rears had a 8 7/8's ring gear but suffered with smallish u joints. A Ford 9 inch is very strong and cannot be compared to any 1/2 ton rear, even though they came in 1/2 ton Fords. In my opinion, no c-clip rear will...

I performed this swap on my 88' CrewCab 2wd. The steering box and frame where it mounts is notoriously weak. After some exhaustive research work, I ended up ditching the entire front-end of the 2wd and added a dana 60 up front. Offroad Design makes a steering box brace and steering linkage kit...

I agree.....these trannies upshift to the tallest gear to loaf the 6.7 around at a 1000 or so rpm. I have learned to drive this new truck with the emphasis of letting the computer select whatever gear it wants and if it doesn't suit me, I manually drop a gear. Loaded or not......if you feel the...

I have read all through here and have found nothing similar to my issue. I think the water in fuel sensor must be mounted in the wheelwell because every time it rains or snows or the I go through the slightest bit of a water puddle, the water in fuel cel goes on and the dash starts dinging at...

Nice truck!! .......I live a few miles south of you in Boyds, Md. I have a 2013 and tow a 40' Toyhauler and it does very well despite having 3.42's. Love the mileage!!

I bought a kit for a 2012 Ram from etrailer. It was a rail kit because I have a 20k Reese and didn't want to part with it. Everything fit perfectly and matched the directions almost to a tee..... with the exception of the driver's side rearmost frame mount. It will fit, but I had to modify the...

Confirm the gear ratio in your truck. If the gasser had 4. 10's, then after you swap in a Cummins with the 727 your top spd will be about 55mph

Coming out of a 2nd Gen truck and into a 13' model... ..... all I can say is "I love towing with this thing"!!!! So what if I have to toggle the ERS on occasion to maintain speed going downhill. I would suggest towing with an older truck for a few hundred miles and then hop back into your 4th...

I just bought a 13' model and my mileage equals that of my older 01' 2nd Gen. The lie-o-meter always reads between 11 and 13 pulling my 18k RV. But you want real world evidence????... ... I put $75 dollars of diesel in the truck and I drove for 7 hrs in mixed highway and some stoplights. I'm not...

I can also understand the point of view that you and RV are trying to make us see. But to use your analogy, just consider the 2013 6. 7 to be the Lance Armstrong on your bicycle and the 2013 14 bolt rear to be the rear-end of a semi truck! LMAO!! Seriously though... ... . we hear it all the...

My new 13' has the 3. 42's and has not affected me towing my large triple-axle RV at all. I tow heavy once or twice a month and tow a 5k lb utility trailer the remainder of the time. A couple hundred miles a month unloaded is all I drive. On my RV, if I tow in 6th the truck will noticeably have...

I can honestly say mine are over 3 yrs old and continue to remain better than oem quality. I have the 3 hole interior retaining brackets as well.
