    New shoes - 255/85/16

    255's are a good size but you could have fit 285 75r 16's? Thats whats on Sylvia's 2002 stock truck! The 285's AT's only touch off the fenders a small amount. i say if they don't rub they are too small!:sombrero:

    The motor in your pic looks a bit different then the two I have and the batt pack too.I bought mine 6 or 7 years ago. What was happening with the pump was the seal to the prop would leak into the motors armature. It would still run because the leak was small enough then the water would...

    Zodi users

    I like the Zodi but the pumps die after just a few uses. You can rebuild the pumps in the field and get it to work again for a few more times in a pinch. I don 't like the shower head either but the burner is pretty solid. I replaced the shower head with a metal pistol grip type garden...

    Best F/S RE: Parts availability???

    The Dodge frames are fully boxed front to rear, are you saying the Ford is only boxed under the bed? Also, the Dodge frame is so strong under flexy conditions the bed doesn't shift from the cab, don't know about the Ford. Also, the the Ford diesal doesn't even come close CTD!
