Great looking truck!

 

I am wondering though, is that a 4x2, just asking becuase it looks like there are coils in the front.

Yes::sheepishly:: this truck is just my tow truck...I have a 1967 M715(for those of you who know what it is) w/ 44" Boggers that gets roughed up. I dont see a reason to scratch and dent something as new as some of our trucks are.

Indeed they are HID, they work out alright. I still plan on mounting some aux lights to brighten the road a bit. I like them much better with out any orange, instead of the standard Denali lights.

 

 

Thanks for the compliments guys.

well, i asked about pics of your truck in the other thread...didn't know this thread was here. So that's a 7" lift? It doesn't look much taller than a truck I saw with a 3" body lift and 35s but it's hard to tell the height of a truck wo/ something for reference (another truck, person, tape measure, etc.)

 

looks sweet though! (I asked about some of your exterior mods in the other thread)

I aplogize for the lack of reference. My truck w/7" susp isn't that much bigger then a stock 4wd so I am sure a 3"BL on a 4wd is higher then my truck, on the other hand the difference is in the undercarriage..my frame is much higher then a stock 4wd.

Post picks of the M715. Does your's have the canvas top or a hartop? That is the way Dodge should still be making trucks..... Maybe then the transmissions wouldn't fall out of them at 40k miles.

Unfortunately no pics with me . Its back in New Hampshire:tear: and I just moved out to Michigan for school and house hunting. I'll get some as soon as I can but it may be a bit. I have 2 hard tops, both my truck and my parts truck came with them but I removed and am running topless :flag: . I can't remember the last time I had my windshield up for that matter.

      I'm suborn like that Ed. There's a plaque in my doctor office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Works for allot of things.    Reality is, the wife loves her SUV and even given it's issues, she'd buy another if she found one with low enough miles. Then again she has me to maintain it.    Most of what ails this thing is GM shooting themselves in the foot and by extension the buyer. Besides a ridiculous breather system the cat warm up strategy, IMHO, is the dumbest thing I've ever seen an OEM do to a vehicle they warranty. On cold start it r-e-t-a-r-d-s the ignition to like -17* ATDC and dump fuel like kicking over a pail to force combustion in the CAT's for rapid warm up. This literally hoses the oil off cylinder walls and creates enough varnish precursors to stick rings in even well maintained engines. THEN if that wasn't bad enough they recommend using a wanting fluid specification at equally stupid interval.    Common to all GDI motors I'm aware of is this silly practice of driving the HPFP off the cam giving a leaking pump direct and unchecked access to the crankcase. And sir, eventually the ALL leak. Your job is to "catch it if you can". Yes, these are the same people that removed dipsticks from engines and transmissions in belief Joe Average wasn't capable of checking, reading and maintain his own vehicles fluids. Sadly  and in large they were correct. Most people these days can't tell a sparkplug from a fire plug.  Great ideas one and all.    Every move and every error calculated to defend themselves from the law and their own customers.

      Most online suppliers and Amazon. All have noted "not for use with Bose speakers".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.
