I wholeheartedly agree with the crossover steering. I did the conversion on my 12V powered 88' Chevy 2wd. You will need a 2wd steering box and the Offroad Design parts simply bolt in. My Crew-Cab was already 2wd so all I had to do was mount their drop pitman arm and steering arms for the 60 and...

Hey guys, I have an 88' Chevy Crew-Cab that I transplanted a 92' 12V into. I have a fuel leak that appears to be the fuel filter....which I replaced. Thought that would fix my problem. I owned an 01' 24V previously so this 12V is a little different to me. The fuel appears to be leaking...

The 1/2tons in that vintage came with 12 bolt rears exclusively. And 12 bolt rears had a 8 7/8's ring gear but suffered with smallish u joints. A Ford 9 inch is very strong and cannot be compared to any 1/2 ton rear, even though they came in 1/2 ton Fords. In my opinion, no c-clip rear will...

I performed this swap on my 88' CrewCab 2wd. The steering box and frame where it mounts is notoriously weak. After some exhaustive research work, I ended up ditching the entire front-end of the 2wd and added a dana 60 up front. Offroad Design makes a steering box brace and steering linkage kit...

I agree.....these trannies upshift to the tallest gear to loaf the 6.7 around at a 1000 or so rpm. I have learned to drive this new truck with the emphasis of letting the computer select whatever gear it wants and if it doesn't suit me, I manually drop a gear. Loaded or not......if you feel the...

I have read all through here and have found nothing similar to my issue. I think the water in fuel sensor must be mounted in the wheelwell because every time it rains or snows or the I go through the slightest bit of a water puddle, the water in fuel cel goes on and the dash starts dinging at...

Nice truck!! .......I live a few miles south of you in Boyds, Md. I have a 2013 and tow a 40' Toyhauler and it does very well despite having 3.42's. Love the mileage!!

I bought a kit for a 2012 Ram from etrailer. It was a rail kit because I have a 20k Reese and didn't want to part with it. Everything fit perfectly and matched the directions almost to a tee..... with the exception of the driver's side rearmost frame mount. It will fit, but I had to modify the...

Confirm the gear ratio in your truck. If the gasser had 4. 10's, then after you swap in a Cummins with the 727 your top spd will be about 55mph

Coming out of a 2nd Gen truck and into a 13' model... ..... all I can say is "I love towing with this thing"!!!! So what if I have to toggle the ERS on occasion to maintain speed going downhill. I would suggest towing with an older truck for a few hundred miles and then hop back into your 4th...

I just bought a 13' model and my mileage equals that of my older 01' 2nd Gen. The lie-o-meter always reads between 11 and 13 pulling my 18k RV. But you want real world evidence????... ... I put $75 dollars of diesel in the truck and I drove for 7 hrs in mixed highway and some stoplights. I'm not...

I can also understand the point of view that you and RV are trying to make us see. But to use your analogy, just consider the 2013 6. 7 to be the Lance Armstrong on your bicycle and the 2013 14 bolt rear to be the rear-end of a semi truck! LMAO!! Seriously though... ... . we hear it all the...

My new 13' has the 3. 42's and has not affected me towing my large triple-axle RV at all. I tow heavy once or twice a month and tow a 5k lb utility trailer the remainder of the time. A couple hundred miles a month unloaded is all I drive. On my RV, if I tow in 6th the truck will noticeably have...

I can honestly say mine are over 3 yrs old and continue to remain better than oem quality. I have the 3 hole interior retaining brackets as well.

A 3500# axle will have 2 3/8" diam. axle tubes... ... . a 5200# or 6000# will have 3" tubes. If your gross axle weight says 7000#... . more than likely you have 3500# axles.

Actually... . the 350 hp is mated to the 6spd manual, the 370 hp is mated to the 68RFE and the Aison to the 385hp 6. 7.

This thread has been very helpful and full of information. I noticed this issue also and just assumed that is what it is supposed to do. My 2013 only has 1200 miles so far but I absolutely love this truck over my 2nd Gen!!

My new 13' does this also but maybe not as noticeable as yours. I know exactly what you mean when you tromp on the go pedal with a full load and let the trans do its thing. IMO, that is one of my reasons for owning a CTD. To take advantage of all that low-end grunt and not race the engine to get...

I just got home towing my toyhauler and I will say AGAIN... ... ... NO problems whatsoever towing with 3. 42's at all. I towed at 65mph in 5th gear and left it there! My 6. 7 turned about 2ooo rpm and maintained 11. 4 mpg as read on the lie-o-meter. It did not like 6th at all and even on flat...
