I racked up 1000's of miles in late model (at the time) H1s that all had torsens front and rear. Never had any handling quirks, even worked quite well off road if you could modulate the brake pedal correctly. Never really saw the need for the elockers in them.

As family vehicles we have had a yukon, commander, and now a expedition. Best value per dollar was the expedition with a 5.4. Did not command nearly the price a comparable gm did. I'd get a other but I dont want a ecoboost in it.

Each of my trucks were less than a hundred each. Nothing too hard, just took my time so I didn't break anything. Maybe a hour each tops.

So this is the second used but newer truck ive had. First was a 2008 ram I bought at 30k miles. Current is a 2015 f250 I got at also about 30k miles. The driver seat in both was disappointing in both. Now I'm a bigger guy, about 280lb. But I could tell the passenger seat in both trucks was...

I do carry two spares but they are for my trailer. In my experience trailer tires seem to attract damage and flats.

Did the replacement calipers eliminate the park brake? As in the kit used a front caliper?

Should have a gm something L80, so I would not worry about the trans. Drop the pan, change the filter clean pan and refill. Good solid simple power train

I got my 2015 f250 used with 45k on it a year ago. I've had to replace the driver side exhaust manifold, had a crack most of the way around the body of the manifold. Other issue I've been chasing is misfire codes on cyl 4 and 7. I've read a crank sensor position learn will correct this...

More aggressive gearing will multiply your current torque at the wheels with zero effect on engine reliability. Find a online calculator to see increase in revs at speed. Huge seat of pants change moving from 3.23 to 4.1. I wouldnt bother though unless you move at least .75. More gear will...

Outside of the coolant consumption issue you need to resolve is the life left in your injection pump. If it has any trouble starting when the engine is hot the pump likely needs a head and rotor assembly. I just went through this on a 6.5, and while I love the engine parts are getting harder...

Flazer, if the ball joints are still original a air hammer will be very useful to remove the factory rivets.

Thought I'd pass this on. I live on a dirt road, so dirt and mud accumulate in my frame even when my trucks are 'on" road. I picked up a sewer jetter to use with my pressure washer. Just feed the washer through your frame and it does a good job of cleaning accumulated junk. Not for use with a...

I'm not familiar with Toyota rear ends, but some oem limited slip diffs are rebuild able. I'm planning on rebuilding the factory unit in my f250, and then parts kit is less than a couple hundred bucks. Goimg to add some more preload so it's more aggressive. May be worth looking into for your...

I've bought at walmart lately. Their best battery is about 100 a piece. Worth a look at that price

Martinjmpr, you remind me of a cross country trip I made in a 2500 burb, the day after I completed a 454 to supercharged 6.5 swap. I literally wrenched my way across the usa. Funny in retrospect , painful at the time.
