With the addition of a 2016 3500 dually dump body I've decided having a 3/4 ton as a daily driver makes less sense. The power wagon has been a great vehicle and has done everything I've asked of it but I now have a dedicated truck for towing and hauling. I still need a truck for day to day use...

I don't like the trucks that are lifted and pavement queens like the ones in the start of this thread but saying a lifted truck is useless is just wrong. Power Wagon on Golden Crack 211 - YouTube The power wagon in the vid is pretty close to stock. I think he's running 35s instead of the stock...

Here's what I use. Never had a problem with a trailer lifting as the tongue weight would have to be negative 900+ lbs.Iif I felt that could be any issue with the trailer I would be moving I'd chain the links to the draw bar.

Exactly! Seen this one the other day too. He wasn't going far I seen him turn down a housing development. I'm not sure it's over loaded but picking rocks like them out of fields for years now I feel like there is too much weight for that little trailer.

Seen this a few weeks back.

Yes they still offer the manual transmission but only with the diesel. The 4500 and up the manual is rated to tow and haul more than the auto. It hasn't been that way for a while and it's nice to see that again. I would have loved to have got a manual in my last new truck but DEF will keep me...

You may want to look at other brands that sounds really high for a used truck. I bought this 3500 C&C ram with a custom built dump bed with fold down sides and gooseneck hitch for much less and its new. Oh and I custom ordered the truck too.

Thought I'd post this for the people that are unlucky enough to live in a state that makes getting pure gas a pain. Notice I went with the cheapest option. I have no issue running E10 in my daily drivers.

My T5050 is just physically too tall for the box blade. The first time I hooked it up I had to jack the front of the box blade up and put blocks under the front edge on both sides. It's been a hassle to hook up and unhook. I ended up getting a quick hitch for my tractor and it works well on...

I am making some modifications to my EA box blade and need to find paint to match the original color. Does anyone know what color EA uses?

I was looking over stock articles today and seen this Judge: Sanction for Samsung's leak of Apple secrets is public shaming - Apple 2.0 -Fortune Tech just wanted to see what thoughts you guys have on this.

Here is an option for you. 24' full tilt deck over. I chose this one for the flexibility it offers.

No matter what you do with tires, trans, rear end or anything else you want to do is going to change the fact that the for peaks at 2400 rpm and will be loosing power as the rpms climb going up a hill which results in loosing speed. The long relatively flat torque curve of the hemi makes power...

Really I have to call you on this one. 2003 for 250 with 5.4 max torque at 2400 rpm but only a gutless pig 263 ft lbs. The 2003 ram that you said didn't make any power till 4,000 rpms has actually a very nice torque curve making more torque than the max the ford makes at 1500 rpm. Yes the ford...

There are some better welds than this but these are some of the easier ones to take pictures of without taking stuff off the cart.

Here you go just snapped a couple quick pictures.

Topkicker here you go. Sorry no action pictures. I agree most people don't even know what a power wagon is. Like you said 4.56 gears lockers front and rear, electronic disconnecting sway bar, 2" lift kit, 12,000 lb. warn winch from the factory. Oh and the limited slip in the rear is helical gear...

My office manager just called about one of our trucks that is at the dealer getting fixed from a wreck where another driver collided with it. The dealer told my office manager that the injectors need cleaning that "they are beyond filthy." He told her the fuel injector cleaning service was...

I took these while I was at everything attachments the other day.

I pulled this through West Virginia and Virginia and was getting 10.5 mpg on the rest of the trip I was getting 11.5 mpg. This is with the 5.7 hemi and 4.56 gears. It only has 3500 miles in it so far but the best I've seen empty on the highway has been 16.5 I think it might get better nice it...

Here you go. Looks like his truck it rated for 17,540lbs.

Well since this thread is so derailed and I figured some of us are tractors fans of all brands some of you would like this picture :)

Best trailer I have ever had it is so versatile. I've hauled my mustang on it and my 1971 f350 dump truck on it.

So I got a call from one of my guys working out of town. They told me that the engine shut off and a message came on the display saying pull over safely. Once they pulled off the road they tried to crank the truck. They said it wouldn't do anything not even turn over. They called AAA and are...

Just like the title says does ethanol blended gas gel? I went to use my 71 F350 that hasn't been used in a few months. It was running poorly so I started checking things out. I ended up pulling the 4bbl carb and found well you can see in the pictures. Was it the 10% ethanol that gelled or...

Hey guys I am looking at buying a new welder for my 2nd shop. I have just started looking and wanted to see what you guys would suggest. I want an all in one unit MIG/TIG/Stick. I have never done TIG welding before but I am going to be taking community collage classes in March for TIG welding. I...

Hey guys I won't have the final numbers until tomorrow but so far It looks like I can get either of these tractors for right around the same money. The M9540 is new with cab FEL MFWD and 2 rear remotes ag tires. The T5050 is a bigger tractor and dealer said a class size up from the M9540. The...

I'm starting this thread at the suggestion of another member. I think Dmace sorry if I got the name wrong. I think it is a good idea for people to give experiences with older trucks. So other members looking to buy a used truck can see what kind of real world experiences other TBN members have...

I'm about to order a trailer and have looked at the PJ trailers the one I'm looking at is the HD deckover Tilt (T9) has anyone else priced one of these? Here is a link to the one I'm looking at. http://www.pjtrailers.com/brochures/T9.pdf They said the trailer was $9,500.00 retail and would sale...

The 302 is not as under powered as people here make it out to be I have had an 87 f150 302 4x4 for many years now before I got my 1 ton I pulled 10,000 lbs 3 to4 times a week not one problem and that was towing up a mountain here in NC now I will say mine is the 4 speed manual and that's a big...

Well I went ahead and done it. I have no need for a TLB anymore so I traded in my 2005 TC33D and which was 33 hp FWD for a L4400 DT-1 FWD with loader fluid in the rear tires Tooth Bar and First service included. This tractor according to brochure is suppose to be 45.3 hp. 37.5 PTO Ran the 6'...

Hey guys I had a moment of new tractor fever this weekend and went to look at a few tractors one being the L3800 I asked 2 dealers near by about the jerky 3 point if it was still an issue being the L 3800 and the L 3200 are new. One told me he had a guy bring one back with 7 hrs. on it cause he...

I have been wanting a tooth bar for my New Holland TC33d bucket I just looked on ebay and seen some Iowa Farm equipment tooth bars made in the USA. Anyone on here used them are they well made any other recommendations on tooth bars? Thanks

Ok I have read on here about all these new trucks and have experience with new trucks as well. So heres my question why are we still getting such bad MPG's out of trucks I have an 08 F350 6.4 diesel and it gets with work body on it 13.5 to 14 on the highway if i baby it. With 12' inclosed...

Ok heres what happened my Dad had a busted hose on the steering ram on the tractor and it leaked all the hydraulic oil out. We replaced the hose and didn't know not to fill the system with power steering fluid. So now we're going to drain the filter tank and replace the filter but was wondering...

Well I was working on my land up in the mountains with my 2000 ford and I was doing more spining than working so I started pricing and this is what I decided on. Its a Massey 2600 with Loader. I priced Kioti, and Kubota and this was the one with the best out the door price. I only put about 1.5...

I know that this has probably been done allot but this is my rendition of it.:thumbsup:

Hey guys just wanting to post a few pics of my new family member. :thumbsup:

I have a 1970 ford 20000 diesel and the lift will raise all the way fine but when its left at the top it bobs or hiccups. the lift will also drop if I go over a bump and it jars the lift lever which seams really touchy to me. I have read on previous post that u can rebuild the lift piston under...
