Nice while that other thread was running. Kept the garbage outta here.

:notrolls2:

My fault. That was too much to pass up. I'll try not to be troll bait anymore

 

[sgreanbeans]

Just came back from some bids to change, OH MY GOD IT IS HOT! Walking around in yards and I am soaked. I am being a wimp, go do a couple, come back in, chill for bit, back out I go. Watched the weather 119 now! That is with the index, but if thats what it feels, then thats what it be!
I better help with the laundry!

Sorry about that. Hope it was mostly storm water and not sewage. We got 2.33" up here. I think you got more or got it quicker. I see that Akron Canton airport was closed because of basement flooding.

Signed the check for this little truck today. '04 1 ton diesel. Will be replacing our current 1 ton and our ranger estimate truck.

Well, if I ever sell it, you know it's just down the street a couple of hours.

That 665 is a beast, I'll bet the mini struggles some with it. I still want a bigun, but the 630 looks like it will work just fine and the first thing I thought about was using a mini to spot it in tight areas. I'm looking to have a mini by summers end. Likely a dingo.

I knew about the axles, not too many gates in this area though, but I'll try and get them apart if they are stuck, might not be able to. No biggie.

Ryan (Biggie) just left with the 630a. We boomed it on his pickup with the crane.

Nice guy and his dad too.

wow and I thought you were going to tell some story how that was you and that it was a secret government test bike.

Its not a Steiner so he wouldn't waste his money on it.......

dump insert?

 

[mr. holden wood]

dump insert?

yup. I got one on a dodge 3500 dually what a waste. They have trouble pushing there own weight.

 

[Blakesmaster]

dump insert?

Yup. Not that I needed it as I could've scabbed the one off the old one ton but it already had it so if nothing else I can get a better number for the '96. Anyone want to buy a '96 Ford F350 w/ a 460, EZdumper and Western plow?

Might want to try replacing the pump or fixing it. My current one has dumped many loads of chips, mulch, wood and topsoil w/out issue. As will this one, as I'm sure, TV's has. Get real. They're a great tool for a pickup.

How long of a trip was he making? Why not just pull it home? You didn't spring for some decent tires on that old unit for the guy Dave? Shame shame....

Yea theres a problem there I had one on my chevy dually and we would load that truck til the tires touch and that insert would push it right up , we would burn some selenoids from time to time but thats about it , you can change the motor and go bigger on most pumps or check the filter and draw line sometimes they get jammed with debris and such

Thanks B.M. I'll check the pump out and be sure to get real while i'm at it. My experience with inserts, they dont push much weight and are better suited for landscapers grass clippings.

I just hope thats no a 6 liter blakes I've seen horrible things from those engines ....

It is, and I was leery of it at first. Those engines are hit and miss from what I'd read. I had my diesel guy check it out and it wasn't exhibiting any of the warning signs. From what he explained to me, the egr in those trucks is the whole problem. It gets plugged up and forces the turbo to work harder potentially locking that into the fixed full boost setting which will in turn blow the head gasket or something like that. This one still had the factory egr but that will be replaced to a less constrictive version shortly which should eliminate any of the issues the 6.0's are known for.

I suggest you get more experience then, ya know...before spouting off like a retard.

Take a torch to it and cut it to a six footer and ill buy the ez dump off yeah.

Yeah...um...no. lol It's going as a whole package deal. It's a fairly solid truck I'm just sick of the 8 miles a gallon it gets.

BM, Glad this forum gives you a chance to throw out insults. I'm sure its a self esteem crusher pulling out that step ladder to climb into that new pick up of yours. I got a ez dumper and they are to weak for tree work for my liking. Glad to see you replaced that beater of a truck and those landscaper inserts are working out for ya.
