I have the same truck except mine is a crew cab. I bought it new. I change the oil every 5000 mi. as recommended by the factory. It has 240,000 miles on it and still going strong. The only major event I had with mine is it lost a water pump at about 140,000 miles and that was expensive to...

My first mobile was a 208H. It worked fine for a few months then people started telling me that they could hear a carrier but no voice when I tried to transmit. Is this the mike problem that spressomon talked about? It now sits on a shelf in my garage and I am quite happy with my Alinco. I...

I just joined this forum and I guess I will jump in here. I use an IPAQ 4155 with Memorymap Navigator software. A Royaltek BlueGPS sends the gps data (over bluetooth) to the Ipaq. I load USGS quads onto the SD card for the area I will be traveling in and off I go. This setup gives me the...
