South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Want that Cummins r2.8 for the Rovy

 

scratch that, apparently the power wagons are gassers only...

It really comes down to the interior, they are all three good trucks at this point, just about any drivetrain problems have been sorted out.

 

*cough* more than you can say for 3rd gen tacos

 

meh, they are bullet proof but weak sauce.

give me a cummins with an allison behind it, on a ford chassis and body/interior...

 

funny, haven't had any issues with mine.

 

Just another form of Rollin’ Coal I suppose.

 

a lot of guys i know have RAM's and love them...they are nice, yes...just cannot do a FCA product. It would have to be a deal of a lifetime to get me into one.

 

What if it was painted Kingsford Blue?

 

Mine was well over 450 hp and 1200lbft tq

Damn right they roll coal

 

Rather have a ram chassis it's a lot stouter. Ford puts a lot of flex into theirs to get that "smoother" ride. Has to be a non Chevy allison(they are weak for even the dmax), prefer the 99+ super dutys compared to the current stuff

 

Im gonna have to eventually unless I get a cheap tow rig. Sequoia will pull the boat at 70mph like it’s not even there. I have always wanted a Suburban 2500 with the 454 like my dad had when I was younger. I think his was a 1995? Now my dad tows their retirement home (42’ 5th wheel) with his Dodge he bought in 2003. 4 door dually, manual trans, diesel, long bed, bigger turbo, 5” exhaust, tuner, intake, and it’s less than 80,000 miles on it. Every time he takes it in for a service, dodge dealers try to buy it from him.

 

That's an old 5.9 truck and a great one the manuals had some issues with pressure plates and flywheels same with the ford's of that era. I think the dodge's had a run of manuals with a synchro issue but can't remember 100%.

The only thing I don't like about the mid 90s 3/4 ton burbans is the front brake rotor attachment method, IFS, and the diesel offered. I was constantly working on my Uncle's 6.5 (injector pumps) and then put idk how many balljoints on that truck. One transmission due to the typical shearing of the reverse drum. It was a stout truck and I'm mad I didn't scoop it up when he got a new one.

 

i see you. Wat about that V8 joo got?

the 2UZ(pre vvti) is the goat though

 

we had a late 80’s suburban (88 or 89 IIRC) growing up with the 454. Lucky to get 9mpg around town, my dad pulled a car trailer a few times and got 5mpg. No thanks.

I would like an old square body suburban, but I’d immediately swap in a 6.0 LS and 6L90E

 

Thanks guys! Just now getting around to catching back up!

 

Need a bit of help.
I sold one of my vintage guitars to a guy driving down from Connecticut. He needs a nice place to chill for fri the 19th and I'm going to meet him Sat the 20th.

Can any of you guys recommend someplace nice on the west side of charlotte?
