Aww come on Bill I was just joking, I know you'd let me come over if all the booze was locked up and I had proper supervision


And I can actually behave sometimes, as unbelievable as that may be.

When? When is that time?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

What does loaded mean? Like if I had let's say a mill on the back, obviously not a car. That's fine? And I can't have a car on the back in CT? Nothing would ever need to touch the ground. Just for picking up a mill, wanted to know if I could use the tow truck. Also for future reference it's good to know if I can tow the honcho outside of MA.

Ct considers anything on the back a load, but if you own the mill, its not an issue. The other option is to have "not for hire" on the truck somewhere

As an owner of an '08 F350, I happen to like the vertical headlights, BUT...the frontend styling on the new ones does nothing for me, too many goofy curves and the grille is now so over-the-top its garish. The new diesel (6.7) gets raves from everyone Ive talked to with one, and im envious of the mileage gain over my 6.4..but I can live with it. The chevy and dodge HD's do nothing for me at all, not enough differentiation from the 1/2-ton models.
Agreed about american vehicle interiors, most suck, period..ESPECIALLY GM products..it's like they resurrected Ray Charles to design the ergonomics. That said, I towed my XJ to ColoradoFest 2 years back and the cloth 40/20/40 seats in the 350 were 100% comfortable over every single one of those 4000+ miles. You dont really know how much thought went into your seats until you've spent 16 hours straight in them.
Comfort matters.

Yeah, everyone likes different stuff, just personally not a huge fan of em. Out of the three I like the newer dodges the best, the GM stuff is fugly in my eyes too.

About the ergonomics/seats- I LOVE the interior of my truck. There's a couple little door panel bulbs that are burnt out, but with it being 12 years old and 200k I'm not complaining. And when I first bought it I drove almost to PA, then Stoughton, then home pretty much non stop, I think it was about 14 hours, and my butt didn't complain one bit. That's one thing I love about big trucks, there's so much roominess and space and more often than not I find them to be super comfy.

Good god my pinion seal is completely gone.

I had to fill it up 3 qts last night (takes 5). Got to work today, back of the truck is coated in gear oil and there is a steady drip from the pinion seal. I was in my truck for about 1-2 minutes after parking, and then I came out and it's a fist sized puddle.

Balls.

Automatic rust protection!

 

[MoparManiac]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Probably gave everyone driving behind me automatic rust protection at this point :laugh:

It was bad enough that I could smell it in the cab while driving.

Found a Timken bearing kit for $177 through amazon. Probably gonna next day that...

JB weld! Worked for me last time...

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I took tomorrow off from work to bang it out.

Also need to fix that fifth gear housing on the NV4500. I read about some machining issues with them, and sure enough, the input bearing retainer from a 241 doesn't sit flush in the recess in the housing. Gonna have to do a bit of grinding on the retainer. Didn't have to do this for the MJ which is odd.
