Re: Converting a Ford Excursion to a Dually

itilldo, I drive a single wheel 1-ton 4x4 chevy. Why couldn't you look into keeping your single rear wheels, and just upgrade your wheels and tires.

Re: Rookie winterizing question

The biggest thing is to get the water out of the block at the bottom drains. For my area especially, On a river when you have alot of sand. This will plug up some of the drains once in a while.

Re: Rookie winterizing question

The t-stats will not be open, Thats why you have to pull the plugs from the block and the exhaust to get rid of the water that will be trapped in there. You will not get all the water out by just...
