I did quite a few things to my old 2001. Almost wish I would have kept it. It ran and pulled really well, but even with my tinkering it stands no chance of staying with my 2012. I had a lot of fun modifying my 2001 though. I had the 6 speed manual in that truck. I would be hard-pressed to want...

The 4th gen 1500's use a 9.25 inch ZF differential on the back end. Not sure on the front end size, but it is ZF as well. Both have a drain plug integrated into the case so I didn't pop the cover when I changed them out. Oil was nasty looking but didn't get any chunks coming out. What I thought...

I changed out both mine and my wife's trucks to Amsoil in the differentials. Didn't use the extra additive in either one, have had zero issues. Things sound and work normally.

Yeah that wind was fun to pull doubles in last Wednesday.... Glad I had some weight and I ended up getting our short haul to Ogallala, NE and back instead of my usual to Kearney and back. At one point I was going along at 50 mph near Dix, NE and a gust kicked up and pushed my back trailer...

Saw this on Wednesday heading out to my daily meet point. This at exit 95 on I-80 in Nebraska. Only got one picture before a moving van blocked me. The Penske truck ran up onto the flatbed. There was a long debris trail behind them and small car with the rear end smashed in the ditch. Not...

At that slow of speed the torque converter won't lock up. It won't lock up until a little over 30 mph usually. I read in the owner's manual that any slow towing is recommended to lock it into first gear only to prevent overheating. I have an Edge Insight CTS 2 on my pickup, noticed a big...

Glad your folks made it though the fire and this ugly storm ok JR. Things are melting off nicely around here today, most of the main city roads are passable now. You can go swimming in the low spots. Got called into work after being at home all week to help move trailers and snapped these quick...

Look into Aliarc or Herd bumpers. Both are made from aluminum and are popular on semi's around here. They both make pickup versions. I have friend with a 2021 Peterbilt 389 with a herd, he won't have a truck without it. He hauls grain and feed to and from farms, has hit several deer and antelope...

Ruger normally likes playing in the snow. Not so much today, he keeps breaking through and almost getting stuck. Phone was slow on snapping this one, tried to get him bounding through. Found this rude surprise this morning when I got up to let the dogs out. Two limbs snapped in the middle of...

I hope they aren't having too difficult of time taking are of their animals. I grew up on a farm, understand how hard a time they must be having at the moment. Every road is closed right now. I don't think I would get to the end of the block before I high centered on the snow with my pickup. I'm...

Greetings all, hope everyone is safe and warm. Here in Cheyenne it's blowing and snowing. Some of my friends and family in the area have lost power but they were prepared for it. Not terribly cold this time thankfully. Here is a pic of moving the snow away from the door after it slid off the...

I'm so very sorry for you loss Ron. It's very hard losing a friend no matter 4 legs or 2. Hope all is well all things considered.
