This is a complicated scenario, but here goes: I have an extra truck, ‘96 Cummins 2wd manual RCLB. I have been daydreaming about putting my 1968 F250 body on that frame. Cool, but way cooler if it was 4x4. So tonight I hear of a ‘96 V10 4x4 auto RCLB with bad engine and transmission for...

I’m considering this for the locking hubs and big brakes and have seen lots of confusing/conflicting info about what’s involved. Anyone done it and remember the details? Is the tie rod taper really upside down?

I installed the driver's seat bottom parts from Geno's today. Easy install, nice quality. Now I can see how dingy the rest of my 21 year old upholstery is! I had to move the seat forward a notch because the new cushion made the seat higher enough that I couldn't mat the clutch. (I'm a short guy)...

Yesterday for my birthday I gave myself the PSC steering box, Borgeson shaft and Rock Solid column bushing. During the install I broke the vacuum nipple off this gizmo on the left fenderwell just aft of the fuse box. It has a single vacuum supply to a diaphragm and an electrical plug.

I know there will be differing opinions, I have two or three myself! Backstory: A year ago when I replaced injectors, DVs, GSK, adjusted timing etc., I “retorqued” the head bolts. Shoulda left it alone. Some felt a little weird/stretchy. On a trip last week I noticed a faint coolant smell at...

After changing from 4.10 to 3.54, plus 285/75/16 tires my speedometer is way off. Like 15 mph off. If I’m thinking right, you can just change the pinion gear on the speedometer sensor, but I’m having trouble finding that info. Found a table on a Jeep forum where you could plug in axle ratio...

Not sure what rules pertain, there’s a ‘98 12 valve 4x4 QC SB Auto just posted on FB Marketplace in N GA. Been a farm truck, dusty but not rusty! $5000 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/367429017412021/ I’d go get it if it wasn’t automatic (and if I was tired of being married and...

I’ve been reading the other threads about vibration and wheel hop, this new issue seems different to me so I’m asking a new question. I also posted in the towing and RV section, but that seems more focused on later model trucks. 1996 2500 4x4 quad cab longbed NV4500 8800 GVWR, 4:10s. Just...

I just set the slide in camper on my ‘96 2500 4x4 quad cab. (8800 GVWR). I have previously hauled the same camper without issue on my other ‘96 2500. Essentially the same truck except 2wd. Both are manual trans. Camper only weighs 1700#ish as it sits. Palomino Real Lite SS1608. So that’s...

Twice now the headlights have just gone off briefly and back on. That’s just the twice I noticed. Is this a common failure, is there a known likely fix? It’s hard to diagnose a ghost like this, and I’m about to embark on a lot of night driving vacation. Should I throw a headlight switch at it?

Seems like I remember reading that the parts needed for the Dana 60 Ford hub conversion were from a ‘90s F350? I see an axle near me on fb marketplace from a 1996 F350. Just don’t want to buy junk I can’t use! Mine’s a 1996, if if matters

Truck is a 1996 (mostly) 2500 4x4 I recently purchased a used Palomino “Real Lite” Soft side truck camper. I want to add an extra battery in the truck bed, the camper is prewired for it in the left front corner. Should I run a dedicated charge wire to that battery, and if so how should I...

Like the title says: where do you put it? With a 4” exhaust and a 285/75 R16 tire, it’s too tight in the OE location. I’m hauling a truck camper, so the bed’s out. Just carry a 245 spare? Hang it on the front bumper like my Daddy did with his ‘68 F250 back in the 70’s when he had a slide-in?

Hi, just joined the forum today. I currently have two 1996 2500s. My first is a single cab longbed manual trans. Didn’t take long driving it to decide that I wanted a 4x4 extended cab. Bought another ‘96, club cab 4x4 NV4500 longbed. Had it a week before we cab-swapped it. Now has a 2000...
