I've used it about the same as Wiredawg. More often since I got a large parts cleaner tank along with parts cleaning fluid from HF I use it.

I haven't been able to work on this for a while, and probably won't be able to for a while into the future, but any and all ideas are graciously appreciated. I'll keep the idea of using the Ford tank in mind, and many thanks for sending it. I'll post again when I get the thing done, or as I'm...

Thanks for that information. I'll keep it in mind when I look for a tank, who knows.

Yes, it is a '96 Lance 11' 3" slide in camper. Thanks for the information about the Titan tanks, it would be the easiest way to go for sure. However, the space in the bed is not "wasted", but accessible by 2 doors on each side at the bottom of the camper. For a long trip storage space in a...

Thanks for the "heads up" about the shock absorber, and you are absolutely correct. I looked at it while I was under the truck and wondered what I would do about it, any thoughts? Do you think it would work OK if I moved it to the rear of the axle? I thought perhaps they were on each side of...

I'll check it again to be certain, but pretty sure. I could either use a transfer pump or selector. I would prefer a selector with a gauge for each tank. That way there is no transfer pump to fail. That happened once on the old F-250 diesel conversion and we ran 1000-1500 miles on the 20...

I'm thinking of rerouting the exhaust to outside the frame and placing a fuel tank where the exhaust was originally. Has anyone here done this, and if so what did you use for the tank? I previously had a '89 W250 and did that with it building a tank from 14 ga. sheet that filled both sides...

As far as mine is concerned I replaced the fuel filter, and the lift pump--twice, because the first one leaked where the hand primer is, and the power is back. I also replaced all the rubber hoses and plan to add a gauge to monitor the lift pump pressure sometime soon, it had an exhaust gas...

Thanks for all the help, and sorry for jumping into the middle of someone else's thread, it just seemed to be about the same thing I had questions about too. Steve

For me those miles are between OR, WV, SD, AL and back to OR with side trips in between. The truck has 137k miles on it now and will be getting close to 150k on our next trip this coming summer. I would rather fix it at home than somewhere on the road, plus 2LO is a good option also. I used...

I got one for my '96 at the local Napa store, PITA to change though. Steve

It's good to know about the Yukon hubs, but I don't think Genos sells them. Looking at their web site all I saw was Spin Tech. There are also several other brands, but I thought if the Spin Techs were good I would buy them from Genos. I haul a camper around 7-8k miles per year with our truck...

How did the Spin Tech hubs work out so far? I'm going to install some kind of serviceable bearing lockout type hubs on my '96 2500 as soon as it warms up a bit and it looks like that's what Geno sells. They have treated me well in the past so I was thinking of getting them from him. I also...

I'd like to know what the solution is too as I'm having problems along those lines with my '96. Also a loss of power when pulling/hauling. I have a filter and lift pump to install, but it would be nice to know what fixed the OPs truck. Steve

Thanks for the good information John. Now if I can just remember to turn it on. :) The previous two trucks we had for a span of more than 40 years hauling campers around 8k miles each year didn't have that, so it will be a new experience for me. Thanks again, Steve

I paid $14k a few months ago for my '96 Cummins 2500 standard cab with 4wd, 5 spd, Spicer 80 diff with 3.54 gears, and only 120k miles, after looking for months. It is a OR/CA truck with no rust. That was what I was looking for, so I guess it was worth the wait and $. It has Banks Power Pack...

I recently bought a '96 2500 5 spd 4wd, with Dana 80 rear axle and 3.54 diff, standard cab, with 121k miles in CA for $14k. I looked for many months for a truck like that to haul a 11. something foot camper on. It came with rear overloads, air bags, and sway bar. It hauls the '96 Lance 945...

I think Phillip is right. I rebuilt the Getrag on our '89 W250 at around 150k and had 286k on the truck when I sold it with no problems from the transmission. The truck was used to haul a 4k lb camper and pull a 24' boat much of the time. We also made a coast to coast trip every year with the...

Thanks, I think 3.42 would be perfect too. I just bought new 285/75R 16 tires. Perhaps I'll try 305s next time. Honestly, it may be all right anyway. I just got the truck and on it's first fill up, after a little better than 500 miles, it only got 17 mpg. I was expecting more. Next was a...

Just curious, but did your truck come with the 3.42s, or were they added later? I was under the impression that the only choices were 3.54 or 4.10, but if 3.42s were also available it would give me another source if I decide to change mine. Thanks, Steve
