RE: Poor quality construction

Don't blame the Amish, they work for a living just like the rest of us. Boss sets the standards and speed.

RE: 2001 F-250

Stock height, near stock tire/wheel size,slider hitch and go for it!
You have the weak trannie taken care of and that 7.3 Powerstroke will handle 12k 5er easily.

RE: How Cool...I'm in an advertisement for Torklift!

That ad was run without your knowledge???????
Doesn't sound like the Torklift folks I've dealt with, but it has been a few years.

RE: What Does your DRW Truck Weigh?

My extended cab DRW hits the scale at 8k, and you have 11 years worth of added emissions control.

RE: Two Low Milage 7.3 PSD...

The early 99 (prior to Dec 98) had a differant turbo and many other parts that are nnot interchageable with 99.5 through 2003 models. Parts are avail;able for early 99, often more expensive.
I'm towing 13k+ with my 01, have added programmer and straight through muffler. Rockies are doable.

RE: F350 7.3 batteries

The originals lasted well enough that I went back to Ford for their Motercrafts, couldn't beat the price.

RE: How many miles on your 7.3 PSD?

Our 01 DRW only has 78k, and we've put 70k of those on it. Mild program and open exhaust, takes Carri Lite over the Rockies with no issues. See "Little America" again in MaY.

RE: Ford 7.3 mods

Exhaust and air intake, stock exhaust is 3 1/2 inch so getting rid of stock muffler will help (if complete exhaust go to 5in).
I run a 50 hp programmer. Don't think my model is available anymore.

RE: How does glass and breakable dishes like to travel in a 5er?

Our china rides in a drawer with non-skid foam between each piece, we have plastic for general use and it rides fine and stays in place with only non-skid on shelf bottoms.
Really depends on your suspension and setup. Our first 5er bounced all over the road, until I upgraded shocks and tuned ride height. Current rig has been good since day 1.

RE: Vintage Tow Vehicles...

My last 454 dually (with 4:10 gears) would match my &.3 diesel up to around 10K of 5er. Over 10K the 454 had issues with Cascade Mtns. Never saw above 6mpg when towing.

RE: Securing a spare tank to my truck bed

Fuel spills happen, wonder about fuel resistance of straps. My tank is bolted down, makes my dually a short bed for hauling other than 5er.

RE: honda companion vs 2000i

I'd get the 2000i and wait for the Companion. A second 2000i can be connected with either a parallel kit or some DIY expertise.
I was able to take Trailer Life ad to local Honda dealer and match ad price ($200 less than CW), plus have local Honda service.

RE: which chevy trans is better or reliable THM400 or 4L80E

The 91 I had was on its 3rd 4L80E and 4th torque converter by 75k miles, later models seemed OK. Was towing 10k loaded horse trailer.
