All my numbers are hand calculated. My truck is stripped down, so no overhead computer.

On my 48 mi daily commute, it's all interstate with gently rolling hills. If I keep the cruise between 70 and 75, then I can get 21. 5, almost 22 MPG. If I stay around 80, then it drops to around 20 MPG. I have slightly larger tires than stock, 265's instead of 245's. The rest of my...

I agree with that to a certain extent... I've never really been a big Dodge fan in the past, but I've always loved the Cummins. I've always been more of a Chevy fan as far as trucks go, and i think the previous generation Ford Super Dutys are the best looking truck on road; and I'm still a fan...

One time I saw an older Nissan hardbody compact pickup with a 16' tagalong dual axle trailer behind it, and on the trailer was a fullsize K5 Blazer with about 8" of lift and 39" tires. The *** end of the Nissan was about touching the ground, the trailer was too small for the load, and he had no...

Anybody running just a drop-in replacement proguard 7 filter with the baffles and silencer ring removed? I can't afford the stage 2 intake; I might get the stage 1 with the torque tube, but I'm trying to get the most bang for the buck. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks, Will

I thought about it being something to do with having 3. 73 rear end, but the transmission is geared pretty low and it has small tires, so I ruled it out. This truck does it in forward AND reverse, so I think its the clutch. For right now, I'm just gonna drive it, but I'm going to check with the...

Yep, it already had a B&W turnover ball in when I got it. So I suspect some knucklehead rode the clutch and glazed over the flywheel or pressure plate when trying to pull a trailer. I know the factory makes some mistakes, but I doubt its anything more than the previous owner being an idiot. But...

I'm not sure what clutch it has in it. It only has 65K on it now and its completely stock, so I don't know how the stock one would be going bad unless the PO was real hard on it. How much money are we talking (ballpark) for the SBC Con OFE or FE? Thanks, Will

Thanks for the welcome and for the reply. I was sort of afraid it might need a clutch. Any idea how much HP/TQ the stock clutch is good for?, cause I have a service agreement on this truck thru DC and if the clutch is bad, then I can get it replaced for $100 deductible. That is, IF they decide...

Clutch shudder, please help Hi all, I have an '03 SO with NV-4500. I bought it used a few weeks ago with 65,000 miles. When I'm trying to move slowly in forward or reverse, like when backing a trailer into a tight spot, I get a lot of shudder when trying to slip the clutch. It seems like no...
