  1. I guess for the weekend warrior it's fine.

    But in the work world it's crap.

    I myself have torn it up putting a engine in the bosses new truck.

    Are fork lift(like most)will not reach to the axle.So we have to place

    the load at the rear and push the load in.This is when it gets torn up.

     

    A friend at work is a part time scrapper.Always has scrape steel in the back.

    With in the year he put back in the liner for their was so much damage done.

     

    I can go on.But NO!!

  2. If your afraid to swim in a lake, well, your revoked

     

    How doe's not wanting to swim in a polluted,gem infested lakes make you less of a man.

     

    5 dead from catching meningitis from lake water.One was a friend.

    friend in hospital.Nerves system shuts down after a simple swim,

    Most cases of ring worm and tape come from a swim.

     

     

    Men that have bought pick-ups.That have no trailer hitch and a hard tonneau cover.

    Can't let the groceries get wet

  3. I know a few people that are second time buyers.All owned 80's somethings.They all sad,It's Not the same truck,But it gets better fuel mileage.

    One guy had the 4runner for 12 years and 740k.

     

    My diesel gets better fuel economy city and highway and towing my lund.

    and room in the rear seat to fit 3 kid seats.

  4. The problem adding a leaf is the truck is sagging with trailer weight.If you add a leaf it will

    lift the front of the truck. losing up the steering.

     

    Had the helper on my 87 for 670k never had no problem.Towed more in that one truck then all others combined.

    Dad had a couple of sets on his truck from factory.

    A friend put helper on his front leafs of his ford to help stop the wheel hop.

     

    Air bladder is the way to go. If you are going to use them most of the time.To justify the cost.

    If you have twin exust pipe you have to be careful. To get the pipe around the spare,the pipe will

    sit to close to the air bladder. Rotting it faster from the heat.Found that out on my 76.

     

    Spring over shocks have nothing to do with weight.There designed to help keep the wheels on the ground

    under rough conditions.Had them on my 83.

     

    But the rule is. If your truck does't sag from the weight of your boat.YOU NEED A BIGGER BOAT!!

     

    Forgot one. Had helpers on the 72 courier.Towed a 14ft VooDoo with a 90 Stinger on the back.

  5. When I checked the oil in Dec it was a dark tan colour.The oil I sent to the S.O.S lab

    last year was a darker brown and it checked out O.K.

    When I'm running higher speed 40-50mph it's only for 15 minutes or so.

    90% of the time I let the super charger cool down before I shut the engine down.
