KDP kit done in New Mexico rlittle. I just finished with the KDP jig kit here in New Mexico. Worked great. I'm just waiting for Brandon to e-mail me with an address to send it on back to Arizona. Hank

255/85 picture here's a picture of Max with his new meats

255/85 tires I run 255/85 Dunlop Radial Rovers (33") on mine and there's plenty of clearance. Although when they had my truck up on jacks it looked like the fronts wouldn't clear on account of the way the front axle hangs down. At 80 mph the rpms are exactly 2000 rpm. Perfect. I'm running stock...

Patriot: Nope, didn't make Perry this year. I usually shoot local matches (Roswell and Capitan) with an occasional State Championship up at Whittington Center near Raton. Fact is we got a Roswell march this Saturday at 0730. The competition is usually pretty keen what with the Air Force team...

Fancy rifles don't mean squat! Real marksmen shoot NRA Highpower competion with service rifles (DCM legal for leg match). As that old gunny once said "marksmanship starts at 600 yards". Been there, done that. Americal Division Sniper School Class of June, 1971 Chu Lai, Republic of South Viet Nam

After starting my truck and the red Brake Light and Amber ABS light have done their bulb check thing, as soon as I start rolling the two warning lights reappear and stay on for the duration of that driving period. I checked my shop manual and it says I need a certain diagnostic device called a...

255x85 16LT tires I run 255-85R 16LT on my 97 2500 TDR. They are 33" high and the spare just fits in between the frame rails in the stock position. The brand I prefer is Dunlop Radial Rover RV which are a decently agressive long wearing tread pattern. Here's the link...

MoPar MAn: I used a pair of needle nose pliers that I pulled the handles apart on to get the tension to spread that external snap ring, I don't remember it being a particular hassel but I did buy a pair of external snap ring pliers to reinstall so I woulnd't strech the springyness out of the...

Tilesetter: You're right the stock bumpers on our Rams are for decorative purposes only. Get yourself a Ranch Hand 4" pipe rear bumper with the 7" drop for access to the stock receiver hitch. These things are oilfield-tough. I backed into one of those concrete trash barrel holders at a...

Barry: My Cummins runs 100-150 deg. cooler EGT. The cat was clogged so much that I could barely see light through it. I drove out to Pheonix last weekend and got 18. 6 mpg on two lane mountain roads, returned via I-10 with the cruise set at 75 mph and got 20. 4 mpg. I don't miss the cat, or the...

jboone I did'nt notice any unusual smell from my exhaust after I went to a straight through system, so it could just be manufacturing oil burning off of the new components. The diesel exhaust smell itself reminds me of the old days when I used to drive a Cummins-powered 1972 Peterbuilt, hauling...

Tschwab Lost my kitty a couple of weeks ago and have about 100 miles on the ole girl since (47k total). I've noticed quicker turbo spool up, 50-100deg lower egt, too early to tell improvement in mpg. Was running 19. 5mpg avg. The first time I got on it hard I noticed a large belch of gray-black...
