    My 04 Ranger FX4-Level II just turned 100,000. My issue is the rear has absolutely NO traction. Anyone have any experience with Ford's Torsen limited slip? Truck has been in family since new and has had an easy well maintained life. Appreciate any opinions

    I'm afraid it's over guys. Just hope the two GA Senate seats are NOT lost. And as I heard one news "analyst" say a few weeks ago, Biden's only hope is that those two seats remain Republican. That is the only way he can keep the loon "progressives" in check as he does not have the balls or the brains to do it on his own. (Last sentence my thought, not the "analysts" he expressed it a bit differently😎)

    Good point but I've never seen a Hino dealer that was stand alone as most acquired Hino franchise to supplement other flags they had. And I would have to believe Hino has taken measures to somehow keep dealers reasonably happy-there are too many ambulance chasing lawyers in this country😎

    amen!

    Beginning to sound like a house of cards for sure.

    For sure-always a different perspective-in particular with Navistar now a "Euro" company that perspective will be even more valuable.

    James- an old school Mack guy and I think he was there in the Volvo era as well. As for Scania I would say his involvement was on the world wide scene. Hopefully once he gets whatever he is working on now he will be back.

    Frames look new Matt-what did you do???
  14. Red Horse
    Here in "salt country" I would prefer that. And the International/GM's do not seem noticeably higher than a Ford or Mopar-but I'll start paying attention😎

    Well today I noticed a long wheel base Ram rthart had 10' box on it-van than it not dump-I think it was a 4500 or 5500. And guess what -I noticed a frame reinforcement clip iunder the cab that extended back about two feet on frame-very similar to F-600

    As Dirty MM said, it is not good for ones temperment. My wife is on it big time and I can verify, not good for ones moods.
  17. Red Horse
    I think the reason they don't offer a Super or a Crew now is because the frame has an added reinforcement under the cab. I understand that reinforcement is the same thing they use on 550 regular cabs that are used for bucket trucks. They really need a bigger frame. But it would make a good mini pumper or brush truck. At 22,000 GVW vs 19500 for a 550 assuming you used the same equipment that a 550 would normally have allowing for some added tank weight, ypu are talking about another 250-300 gallons of water.

    Screwed in the sense you find new 24's, decent used ones or you change your hubs.
  19. Red Horse
    And to confirm, if you have 11R -24's you are screwed!???

    I guess the lesson we learn here is that there was some "independence" when it came to the guys that punched those plates😎 The 600 K by the way is on Cape Cod, is a 237 5 speed, with rubber bushed rears-5 spoke so I say 34's or 38's? Has a back of cab crane- I think its a Hiab. frame is junk.
  21. Red Horse
    Agree with all 3 previous posters. Specifically asked our resident expert KSC about an R600K and he confirmed- "K" indicated glider. Again value of this site-someone asks a question and 3 correct responses😎

    Beauty- wondering about horns? thought it had horns on roof? then I'm thinking no spring pacs-so juice brakes- then I see what looks like air lines coming up in back of cab??? And the answer is.....😎 By the way very nice and unusual setting and backgrounds-whose oil terminal you next to? Always did think those F-800/8000's were a good looking truck-and they did well around here even when the Louisville came out.
  23. Red Horse
    Agree 100%. Not so much on your profitability comment as I have to believe that they are not losing money on everything else. But when you are grasping for something to differentiate you from the competition you will grasp at anything-even though there is nothing revolutionary about your product.

    Ever get the feeling guys like this are full of shit? Yeah- I'm sure the majority of people that are buying from Amazon, Ebay etc really are disappointed when their pckage is delivered by an ICE vehicle. Guy is reading from the Ford playbook-and Commercial Vehicles? the only thing they talk about is 150 and Transit.

    Vlad..What car?😎
