The pipes are from a local mufler shop. Dual 3" with 24"x5" chambers on the end. I modified it by heating and bending the support handers around the pipes with an addition of a different support brace I made. If I had installed the Hellwig first I could have had the pipes bent around everything...

I agree that good load range d tires are perfectly safe. I used 33/12. 5-16. 5 BF mud terrains 15 years on 3 seperate dodge diesels starting in 89. They had a load range of 2910 and I never had a problem. I farm and ranch for a living and have hauled or pulled just about everything and have...

For anyone near Lampasas,Tx, there is one sitting on the lot for 46,000. Tricked out with all the aftermarker goodies. White and right in front of the office. Looked at it last weekend when returning from fishing trip.

towing/hauling You can do a a couple things. First, you can buy the factory overloads and weld a perch on the frame. It's not as simple as the second gen where you could buy the perch and bolt it on. Second, you can go to a spring shop and have a stiffer main or secondary leaf made without...

reg cab It depends on the region you live in. Around here the vast majority of farmers and ranchers prefer the reg cabs for a variety of reasons. I've had a 89,91. 5 and a 97 reg cab Cummins and have never had a problem getting rid of them. All of them were sold within in a week of trying...

The Hellwig works real nice on my 05 one ton single rear wheel. I farm and noticed the body roll immidiatlly with alot of weight in the back sliding around gravel roads and jumping through fields. I also installed the super springs to keep it more rigid. I had a few problems with the install...

My 05 tripped the 0299 code this past weekend in the middle of nowhere. It has the 62/12 turbo. Just got off the phone with HTT and they seem to think it is a mass airflow sensor problem. The problem seems to be from the sensor on the air box. I got the boost fooler and it still tripped. Doesn't...

Hankook Which Hankook are you getting? I am looking at the M/T RT03 in 315/70-17. I was also looking at the Interco's you have/had. How well did the Interco's last and is there a big difference in price between the two? We use Hankook's on the farm and seem to last pretty good(nothing last's...

I just put an AFE stock replacement in my 05. I have a home made induction tube along with straight pipes. I took the silencer ring out like my 97 but it howls to much because of the little housing. In my opinion it didn't sound nearly as good as my 89, 91. 5 or the 97. It was alright puting...

I ordered a 97' regular cab with the snow plow package because of the big bumpers I make. The package then consisted of Extra heavy springs(in front), skid plate package, 241HD transfer case(which was stock on the duallys but not on 3/4 tons with or without the Cummins), and a higher rated...
