Congrats.Welcome to the board.

How wide are the rims. I'm taking my son's rims off his truck that are the same one's and putting them on mine. He's tired of the wide wheels.

Pulled the 350 to ship off for repairs. Getting cam and valvetrain gone over / replaced. Fely good to be wrenching on the ol gal. Now I have to see what all I will need to fix or replace while the engines out.

I missed it. Having new AC/heating system installed. First time I've let anyone else work on it and I'm having seperation anxiety. Should be done by Friday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
I want to drive my truck ... but problem : new battery, new regulator, but same issue, low battery after some miles. it seems to me that battery passes off by driving, not in the stop !
any idea ?
is it possible that the starter puts itself in short circuit and empties the battery by driving ? I drive only by the day, and just after 10 miles, good new battery is empty :crazy:

thanks for help

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
You should open a new thread in the electrical section for this. Have you tested the voltage output of your charging system both at an idle and at driving speed?
