New England B.S. Thread

Great .. Now I have to sign up onto yet another forum ..
I'm already on the Tundra .. now Ford ..

 

Shrug. I'm on Sweptline.org for the '69, dodgeforum.com for the '84 (and now for the '15), F150forum.com for the '16...plus some boomstick forums...
Guess I can cross F150forum off the list now, though, lol.
This is the only forum that I spend any time on. The rest of them move pretty slow. Sweptline.org especially; the number of people that have them is pretty small and the majority of them are past the age of computer literacy.

 

@Noelie84 there is a mint looking Dodge Ram 150 single cab short bed for sale right near my house with a plow on it. Saw it and instantly thought you'd like that

 

Sweeeeeet.
Pics or it didn't happen

 

I thought this said broomstick forums at first

 

That seems like it'd be a really slow forum. Or full of Wiccans, I suppose.

 

Morning all

 

Let's see it. I would love an older Ram full-size for towing my camper.

 

Whoa... I’m really jealous, that’s the truck I really wanted but didn’t want to spend an extra $10k to get! Want to swap some parts? They’ll never know, I swear!

FYI, I dropped the tire pressure on mine to 50 unloaded and it’s a completely different truck. At 80, it rides like a hay wagon unloaded.

 

Does yours run 80PSI all the way around? Mine runs 80 in the rear and 50 in the front, which I thought was a little odd but makes sense. And I'm actually kind of glad it's got coils in the rear; it does ride better than the F250 I test drove. Payload is still 2400lbs, too, according to the door tag, so we'll have to see how she goes with some weight in the back. Most I've had back there so far was 600lbs of grain, and even though I didn't notice any sort of squat it did smooth the ride out a bit.

 

I'll see if I can remember to swing by and take a couple of pictures tonight but it's a busy night with it being Jacob's birthday plus he has scouts tonight

 

Oh festive..wife's Rav4 needs a catalytic converter on top of the tires and rims. FML

 

No rush, if you remember, great, if not, NBD. Have fun with the little man tonight.

 

Straight pipe

 

I think my door sticker says 75 front and 80 rear if I'm not mistaken. Mine has the higher GVWR package (10k lbs) so my payload is something stupid like 3,700 lbs. I know the rear TPMS set point is higher because, when I set all the tires at 52 PSI, the light comes on for the rears but not the fronts. It had 75-80 all around when I bought it and it would bounce pretty good on big bumps. I dropped them all to 70 on the way home and it helped. I just put them all down to 52 last weekend and it rides just barely stiffer than the F150 did. It still dances around a bit more on bumps because of the solid front axle but that was to be expected.

 

On the roads around here the max payload package on a 3/4 ton would suck, haha!

 

I would bet good money that some of the tank traps in the side streets in and around Boston make the little frost heaves you get up there look like child's play. The way people drive around here, we're probably hitting them at the same speeds you drive on back roads also!

 

Ok
This is what I have on my truck ..

Gee a little blurry ..

 

Hmmmm what can I tow ...

 

Pretty much whatever the F you want
