    Light Duty Trucks & Gooseneck Trailers

    This was explained to me in another thread (and verified by rereading that section in cdl book more carefully).

    Here's the differance too they (auto makers) don't sell a small truck that's a 1 ton. Toyota only recently came out with a 1 ton. Those small trucks you speak of are 1/4 tons here ie; ford ranger, chevy s10, nissan and so forth. The ford 150 is a half ton though there payloads have increased...

    Pickups

    A 1 ton has a legal payload of around 1 ton can tow 12,000+ odd pounds. I use mine (F350) for everything from driving myself, my kids, plowing, hualing gravel or firewood, and just about anything else you can think of. I had a ranger it was a fine truck off road but there is no room in back to...

    Ford F-550 losing power

    Now you mention that I bet thats exactly what it is. Because it does seem to have a couple electrical quirks like door ajar light on, radio losing volume or even raising as you try to turn it down, also when you shut truck down the radio will squack.

    Draining Boots?

    Get a deet drier boot . It circulates warm air and is safe for leather as well as rubber. You can also get an adapter for doing gloves although I just slip gloves over the way it comes.
