The research I've done boils down to intake, exhaust, ecm tune. Sounds like you have the exhaust done already. The intake may be as simple as dropping in a different filter. If I remember correctly, Jack Berry was getting around 16 mpg with his hcv and I think it had the 5.4? If that's the...

Mornin folks. Good luck Ken! Im waiting for a pickup...was scheduled for 9am, rescheduled for 11am.

If the setup works out and you have the turnkey setup in the low $40's, I wouldnt consider it overpriced. The final product, the payload and the fuel mileage will determine the success. That price tag is not out of line for what your building...imo.

DD, could you name any specific part of that truck that didn't have issues? I seem to remember it having a killer a/c system?

That would explain it... now if my phone would actually retain the quote. It has the quote option, it used to work fine, but it don't work anymore (I quoted Jenny's post in this post). Oh well, I can't reply to pms from my phone anymore either. I have to start a new msg to reply. :confused:

Its all good now. Just a small cell actually. I was watching it on weatherbug and knew hail was possible....almost waited too long to get under the canopy though...lol. The pumps were empty 3 minutes earlier, then they were full when it hit...lol. Amazing how many vehicles will fit into such a...

Just had mostly golfball, some tennis ball sized hail here just outside st.louis. I got "most" of the cargomax under the gas pump canaopy...man that stuff is loud hitting that fiberglass shell...lol. Everything appears ok for me....several cars under the canopy now with various windows/glass...

If I were down for the weekend where you are....would need a rental car...Nascar race shops all around.

Fill it up with sawdust and gear oil....should be good for another 100k ? Best of luck Ken, hopefully its not major.

Steve, I don't actually have any numbers either. I'm not all that happy about it either! :)

So that's what that number is....I thought it was my daily bonus :D

Even for those who abide by the 10,000 gross weight limit, it's still good to be just a bit over built imo.

Im very interested myself. That is one sharp lookin chasis! For clarification, is this unit rear wheel drive? I know somebody posted a link to a conversion that would be front wheel drive.

Mornin gang. Empty in Geneseo, IL just east of Davenport a ways. Not sure which direction to go from here. Chicago appears empty, but?? Thinkin I may hang out here for a while anyway. I have had luck around Davenport in my ST days.

Yes...like that Btw...I did quote you. Droid Bionic

Cheri...I'm sorry, but your blue font makes your posts impossible for me to read. I can barely tell there are words on the screen.

Well gee whiz, so much for keeping that secret under wraps!

He shouldnt have any trouble keeping expenses under $1/mi with a straight truck unless he wants a new $200k rig

Yep, saw that....if I get up that way, I'll stop and get one there. Waiting to load now.

Thinkin the "J" hook is what I want. I'll pick one up somewhere or order one. I may build a buzz bar type puller too when Im home. Ive got another idea I want to try that would make it pretty easy to get the skid to the back of the truck...for those who have the center e-track. Would save the...
