And that 4.3 will be brought up somehow. He adores that motor. Your 52 flatbed sounds interesting. I checked out a Ford COE Box a couple weeks ago in front a bread plant/factory. $7500. I could write it off as a business expense. But my shop was built in the 40s, with 10 foot ceiling and 7 foot doors. lol Whats your plans for her? Im going to guess a dump bed is in store. Love those old cab overs, would love to get one some day. It's nothing but a cool old truck, only plan is to drive it. I had a few ideas since i bought it but never acted on any of them, now with the 57 around its really not going to happen. I didnt even want to put this small block in it honestly, just doing it since the inline 6 spun a bearing and im not just going to let the thing sit. I actually agreed to sell it to my step mom last year but she hasnt paid me for it. Probably wont be willing to sell it now. At least not with the engine that i built for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUCAN Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Getting a new SUV, wife and I are between the Toyota Rav4, Kia Sportage (2023), and Hyundai Tucson. All hybrids, any one have any input? Rav4 is going to be a longer wait overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd make it easier to decide, if it mattered in any way which of the things you chose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the 2023 Sportage yesterday and I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To illustrate that crossover Transverse Front Wheel Drive (pseudo-AWD) car-based CUVs are extremely capable and useful vehicles with a purpose that isn't entirely lame and unnecessary. And definitely not an extensive continuous barrage of goofy *** marketing campaigns for a slightly tall hatchback/station wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that i am a font of creativity and originality and that can be a lot for some people to take it.

billking Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I think I may have mentioned it earlier but I have a 2017 ram 2500 with the 6.4 gas engine 4.10 gears. Anyways the transmission went out and unlike the Cummins it didn't have the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. So after having it sit for nearly 2 months at the dealership I finally had it towed to a reputable shop and got it rebuilt for a little over 7k versus 9k for a rebuilt at the dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no clue it cost that much for a tran rebuild now. Id of guessed no more than 4500-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
