Hey guys, I have a friend that just bought a '94 3/4 ton ford with a 7. 3. I thought he'd get a dodge, but I found out his brother is a logger and has a newer power stroke with 200,000 mi. By the way my friends truck has 137,000 mi. Then I was at the parts place the other day, and the counter...

I recently bought a '99 Honda shadow A. C. E. Tourer, 1100 cc. At the honda shop their dino. oil is $3. 99/ qt. and have a rating of sf or sg. Is there cheaper oil prices on some other brand, that is just as good or better? Also is 4,000 miles too far to go? Also, what about synth. ? Any...

I had my '95 dually in the diesel shop a mo. ago to get a plate and turn injector pump up. Before, I was averaging around 20 mpg, not pulling. Now I'm getting around 17. They said they installed a no. 3 plate, set timing to 16. I've read on here that the magic no. is 15. 5 . Also, they said...

Hey guys, I was real surprised to find the jig in the mail box yesterday. I got it fixed, and for someone that has any concerns, it's really a snap. I was wondering, is it normal to let my cummins buddy's here in fl. use it while it's here? By the was, the return address is from a rogess...

I have a friend that has a Yamaha touring bike. It's an '82 or '83 with 28,000 plus miles. I forget the mod. I think Ventura rings a bell. Its gold color. He wants $2,900. 00. What do you guys think, is that a good price for the buyer. It's in pretty darn good shape. Not quite pristine, but...

'95 dually I paid $8,500 for my '95 dually reg. cab, 236,000 then, about a yr. ago. It has some scratches, but runs great. For me, and I'm not too hard to please, it was a pretty good deal. I'd never pay new prices, unless I had a thriving business and could depreciate them. Kirk

Could someone send me some instructions as to how to adjust my valves? I understand it's pretty simple, but have never done solid lifters before. Any help , or advice would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks, Kirk '95 CTD 12v 5sp. 3500 stock
