5.7L was definitely faster when you get on it and the 8spd smoother. I'm sure weight and frontal surface area have alot to do with that. The f250 is no slouch, but I believe it's a full second slower in the 1/4. The 7.3L has it all over the 5.7L in trq, as it should due to the extra...

I did not, the direct injection and oil consumption issues steered me away from them.

Thanks. So far, thirsty. :ROFLMAO: She rides a bit rougher, but better than I expected and the 10spd (so far) has been really good. Not as smooth as the RAM's 8spd, but still very good.

After 5yrs and 79k miles I said good bye to my 1500 RAM Longhorn. Almost got alittle misty when I took her for that final drive, but it was time. After about 3-4 months of shopping everything from another RAM 1500/2500, Bronco (Full-size), F-150's, and SuperDuty's I ended up getting a F250...

Nice! I wanted to switch to one of those, but am worried that it cannot shift enough weight to the front. I'm probably sitting around 800-1000lb tongue weight.

That's probably it, thanks!

Replaced my O-rings last week'ish. What a mess! Knock on wood, it seems to be ok now.

My fogs are independent of the little spotlights, but come from the same housing.

As mentioned above, basically remove, adjust, and reinstall. I'm not sure this can be accomplished on the truck.

I believe the Lockerdown safe is slightly bigger than the OEM plastic stuff.. but I believe they went out of business. I've been thinking about popping it out and expanding it.. I have a welder and my buddy has a plasma table and other metal fab tools. Though IIRC it installs from the inside...

I'm betting mine is the older style kit, whichever number that is. I've had it awhile now. It has to be 30k + miles if I had to guess. I know I installed it prior to my warranty expiring, and I'm coming up on 75k miles. It was not leaking at the last change and nothing made it to the ground.. I...

Thanks! MT Baja Boss ATs - LT 275/60R20 One size up from stock.

Yes, I did it myself the first time when replacing the pan. Followed many of the suggestions and videos linked on this site. This time I just plan to drain the pan and refil. Not swapping the filter this time as it's only been 10k miles.

Got my first couple drips from the PacBrake kit. Guessing it's the O-rings, seems to be the spot for them to leak from. Went ahead and ordered the ones referenced above. My next oil change will probably be in a week or two, so I'll replace them then.
