    Ford 2006 Diesel

    Incorrect. Navistar put a good 6.0 in their medium duty trucks. It took Ford engineers to screw it up by trying to get that engine to meet light duty truck standards. Idling clogs the EGR systems. After several thousand dollars in modifications, it becomes a decent engine. But it's still not...

    Missing the THUMP!

    I like my Rockford Fosgates. 6x9s in the rear and 6 1/2" in the front. I have a Punch sub with a 300 watt amp in the closet. The system is powered by an Alpine headunit. It's all very easy to install.

    Flat or Van?

    Here's the DOT regs. Sleeper berths. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration But I'm 6'2" and can't lay flat in the back seat. I may be able to remove the passenger and back seats and instal a mattress on the right side. I would rather have a real sleeper. A 36" flattop would be...

    Flat or Van?

    The truck that I have is a '92 F350 crew cab dually. It has the 7.3 IDI diesel that will run on nearly any petroleum product. I'm currently running a blend of 75%wmo/25%diesel. Since it's an older truck, I don't want to haul more then 18k worth of trailer on flat ground. I thought a 8500#...

    Sometimes it's best not to beat the dead horse if it doesn't want to drink the water.

    Flat or Van?

    I was thinking about going after Sprinter loads that would be more then 2 pallets. With my truck and trailer combo, I would want a minimum of $1.50 a mile, or I may as well haul RVs. But without a backhaul, that's not happening.

    Flat or Van?

    Then I have the issue of where to sleep. I doubt if I should buy a bumper pull.

    What brand of belts are you losing? Be sure there are no sharp edges on the pulleys.

    Flat or Van?

    I want to use my dually for freight hauling duties. Most guys are pulling goosenecks, but I'm also looking at pulling a van. Vans are cheap and light. A 40' gooseneck weighs in at 8500+ lbs and costs up to $10k. I can't seem to find a van with a flat floor that I can fit two 48" square pallets...
