Macarena Man

Do like the OEM alloy wheels .... but, one of mine has a small hairline crack on the inboard rim area. Small, it loses 3-4 lbs. pressure per month. The specs for these alloy OEM's don't list the weight. Maybe this shouldn't be a factor since I'm running 285's ..... but, curiosity killed the cat. Anyone know the weight of a bare OEM alloy 8 x 16" .... ? Want to replace these rims with 'classic' style/type alloys .....

Mike ... have you got a pic of your BHAF ? I'd always thought the term BHAF wasn't specific. Thanks, Greg

It does make a difference if you are doing longer distances ..... when your engine, transmission, transfer case, differentials are going through multiple heat cycles. Condensation is steamed away, everything is up to temperature, and things are being lubed the way they were meant to be. Dusty atmosphere is the only 'fly in the jam' .....

Shell Rotella T .... 15W-40. 7500 km's No additives.

From oil to socks ...... amazing !

Retired logger here Mike ....... I'm scanning your beautiful photo's .... looking for your stumps. The stumps tell the story (smiling) Looks like Douglas fir in the 'standing dead' ...... love splitting, dislike stacking !

Ahhhhh ...... John! Just sold my '90 350 4Trax on Fathers Day ..... bought it new. '86 was the first year for the 350's ..... they are one tough machine. Cheers, Greg

Why not run a double poll on this subject ..... ? One poll for filter choice, and another on oil choice. Fleetguard LF3894 Shell Rotella T ..... 15w-40 Double plastic bags for filter removal.

Ever run the infamous 090 ? Have another '99 450 Foreman ..... yellow/footshift. The 450's came in three colors ....... mustard, ketchup, and relish !

Just bought this quad ..... low miles/hours. The hodge podge Dodge in background ....

Hugs !

Not the best shots Mike .... hope this helps. Mine aren't hooked up. Will be adding a mobile radio soon. The console has the wiring harness .... the truck doesn't.

Local auto wrecker .... $40.-

It's a lighter grey as you can see. It contrasts quite nicely with the grey seats. Have seat covers on at the moment. These aren't the best pictures ....

Two bolts are a 'drop-in' .... Two need to be re-drilled ...... 10 minute job. Console has a 12v utility socket, another for a computer, and the under seat compartment is made for a mobile radio. Easiest up-grade you'll ever do.

Consider replacing your console with something newer with cup holders ..... this is from a '13

Good info ..... thanks Mike!

Have used a motorcycle/quad jack also ..... Used some bushings for a GMC .... they were a little larger and fit the worn holes better.

If it's just the switch ..... it's an easy repair. Pop the window/lock pod out of the door. Easy to do with a small screwdriver. Un-plug and remove the switch. Gently remove the flat panel on the underside of the switch pod. The contacts will now be visible. A small piece of fine/worn out wet & dry sand paper can be used to clean the oxidation off of the copper contacts. Wipe with a cue-tip and brake cleaner. Re-install ...... have cleaned mine 3-4 times. Note: The plastic of the switch pod is old and tabs can be broken off / missing. Small zip ties work very well to hold the bottom panel in place. The whole operation will take 10 - 15 minutes.

'02 ...... Atlantic Blue Forlorn old grave .... found it out in a meadow in west central Alberta

Day Time Running Lights ..... compatible ?

Have you checked for runout with a dial indicator when they are on the truck ? My 1st Gen would vibrate like yours. On a long sweeper curve, does the vibration phase in .... then gradually phase out. In and out, in and out?

Good looking manifold ! Thanks for the pic

jlbayes ....... any photo's of your stainless manifold ? Like a header ?
