As stated above that was an easy one. You are right star, keeping that cheby going must take a lot of skill/luck and patiance.

 

This is going to be one very long post:



Have some patience please, I have to relearn Paint first so I can blur out the license plate...



About 100lbs, wee over 5ft, fake 32DDs - there, ya happy? And no, it will not be going in my signature along with a full-body shot as an avatar Now have fun explaining your interest in all this to your better half



Indeed I will, and it is not as if they are not just asking for it!



Is a 4x4 dually F-series that expensive? I was under the impression an IDI does not cost too much to acquire, but if it does, can't you make your own one out of two trucks? I have seen a 4x4 dually Suburban at a car show, I think he said he just put a dually axle from a 1-ton truck under it, and bolted something to the front axle to make it work with the dually wheels... Can you do something like that to a non-dually 4x4 F-series truck?



I am not touching this subject, it is for him to disclose details - for now he has some issues to work out, which may be why he has not said anything to you guys yet.



Okay, thank you.



Dear master Tom, this is just too easy: the title is "soft pedal", the post itself reads "My brake pedal is still soft after being bled twice, my truck sat for a couple of months, could this mean my booster is bad?", and no his booster is (was?) likely not the problem as when a booster goes bad the pedal gets harder to press (and not soft), unless it is a booster that is driven by the power steering pump (like the one in my blazer) in which case I do not know what happens when it goes bad because I have never experienced it.



I did not con him out of the truck, I save those skills for work as the more silly boys I get the more loot I get to take home As for the 6.2 it does not give me any hard time, the previous owner had some repairs and upgrades done to it so all I have to do is just change the fluids and filters every so often. Oh, and I replaced glow plugs once I just mostly watch and help others work on their cars and trucks.

 

OK, to hell with the plate and Paint - there, a front/side shot while helping a friend move (bed was actually packed solid with boxes), you see now why I'm the evil sorceress of diesel darkness?

 

Oh man it isn't 4X4 now what are we gonna do with you. lol

 

you don't need 4 wheel drive if you know what you are doing.

i know that truck. i just can't remember who had it. was it not just painted in the past year??

 

Ok, bravo on the joeanese darlin. LOL I am impressed. I am really surprised Joe hasn't jumped in here yet. Is he still around?

Bubbleyum you really REALLY need to keep certain details out of here....LOL You are distracting people from their trucks!

That is one nice looking truck! I am glad to see these trucks on the road. They are just so awesome! So what are your plans with that truck? Any projects or mods you considering?

 

I think I'm in love

 

Yes, I'm painfully-well aware that it is not 4x4, but it is really not that big of a deal as I already have a 4x4 diesel, nevermind it is from the "dark side". Actually to you boys here, which exactly is the dark side - GM ( Ford vs. Chevy) or Dodge (IDI vs. Cummins)?

Tehe, well it actually has 4-wheel drive, as there are four wheels on the rear axle And yes, it was repainted not that long ago - it was this ugly color that words cannot even begin to describe when he got it first, now it's sporting flat-black rolled-on paint job. It was very cheap to paint it like that, and it looks decent and seems to hold up okay too.

I know on the details, but he asked for it!!! Besides what is he going to do, drop everything he's doing and daydream about some internet floozy he has never even met? I do not think so, not with that awesome daughter he seems to have - he'll probably get a laugh out of it, and then carry on building her the 4x4 dually she wants

About the truck, I haven't thought of that much, it needs a toolbox in the bed bad cause right now I have to hide everything behind the seat which is annoying. But I do not want a toolbox that sits on the bed rails, I do not like the looks of those one bit - I want one that sits on the bed floor and you can't see it from the side of the truck, but finding one like that used has not been easy, and I'm not spending $200 on that when I probably need new batteries as well. Maybe put some better lights in the grill guard, cause those four little ones in there now kinda suck. Some day I'd like to have a turbo on it too, but obviously that's way more expensive so it is just a pipe-dream for now.

Tehe, thank you But I am taken right now, however one never knows what the future will bring - if you start expressing your love by making small weekly gifts towards the "bubblegum needs a turbo" fund, I promise that if I ever get "untaken" I will give you first consideration, or in the opposite situation I will invite you to my wedding where I will feed you the best sushi (not bait!!!) you ever had

 

Damn, that truck has got some rough personality...
If I ever showed up at my girls house in that thing, she would just shake her head, stomp her foot and tell me she's not going to get into it.
Heh, I like it.

 

Huh, well I think there is absolutely nothing special about, just a regular 2wd dually with a small grill guard and some pathetic lights in it. Maybe the paint makes it look mean? Idk, but it drives pretty nice, nevermind it's kind of slow for what I'd expect of such a big engine...

 

Na, what I mean is it's got some personality, you can see it, like my truck she's a slug of a stubborn mule in the city, like trying to cram a square peg through a circle hole, and burns fuel just to spite me, yet take her up on the mountain roads and she purrs like a kitten going 120km/h and getting phenomenal fuel mileage.
Just picture your truck up a couple inches, slightly bigger tires, front end conversion to like a 92 with the bigger headlights, and a big ole winch bumper that people see and never want you to hit their vehicle with. These old trucks have personality, you just gotta let them speak to you.

 

What about a toolbox meant for a smaller truck, like a ranger? It would be narrower and might fit in the bed, unseen. Won't quite look right, but those probably come up more often for sale than the kind you're looking for. And usually for cheap if you look enough.

 

"fake 32DDs" OH MY

 

ok as far as the boob thing goes we should really refrain from that ,but if you must, call em bumpers or something

 

really really big bumpers??
