    F-250 to F-450 6.4 Powerstroke anyone?

    Should I make the text larger so you can read what I have already stated more clearly? Wait, sounds like you've already got it all figured out. I guess the time I put into researching the idea when I first had my doubts turned up jack crap. I'll go back to thinking inside the box like you.

    Couple Pictures of the new international lone star

    Saw one on the interstate here in Indy, first time I've seen one in person. Looked really nice. I think I like them.

    F-250 to F-450 6.4 Powerstroke anyone?

    Haven't been on that site too much. I prefer powerstrokenation.com. There are a lot of normal every day guys on there, all the way to the guys who have the quickest and most powerful powerstrokes in the country. There's another site called Powerstroke.org, a good site but you'll have a hard...

    F-250 to F-450 6.4 Powerstroke anyone?

    Actually you have some research to do if you don't believe it's possible without shedding weight or reducing drag!! First off consider the reputation for the Cummins 5.9 for getting 20+ easily in the 2wd's and even the 4x4's (My old 03 quad cab long bed 4x4 2500 regularly saw avg 23 and often...

    F-250 to F-450 6.4 Powerstroke anyone?

    Winter starting shouldn't be too big a problem with a 7.3 though, provided the glow plugs and relays are good. That 460 was no joke of an engine though! Mileage was awful but it was a powerful son of a gun. Actually that'd be a 98.5, 98's were still 12v.:D I do know many guys who have 2wd...

    Couple Pictures of the new international lone star

    Not near as ugly as any European tractor. I like it, it's unique.

    Yeah, I'd like to know where the tires come from too. If I remember right, I think you've got a whole stash of all kinds of toys old and new that you rob the tires from for various projects. I've been visiting your site frequently for at least the last 5 or 6 years. I saw you in person at...

    Has CAT lost the superior product edge?

    I don't have a dog in this fight as I have only ran a few machines, mostly Cat while doing various work at MacAllister Rental Stores in Indy. I can say that I thought they were fine machines, but again, having nothing to compare them to it doesn't say much.

    F-250 to F-450 6.4 Powerstroke anyone?

    I forgot to add that many shops were finding that the mating surfaces for the heads were actually nowhere near as "flat" as they should be on a lot of trucks. That could be the reason your boss went through so many head gaskets. It might not have been the gaskets or the lower number of head...

    Wow, talk about derailment!

    F-250 to F-450 6.4 Powerstroke anyone?

    There are a few companies making delete kits and tuning for DPF equipped Powerstroke, Cummins and Duramax trucks. They sell them as "off-road" use only. Most people are not using them off-road though, and the EPA pretty much knows it. Companies making the kits have supposedly received letters...

    Demag CC6800 crawler crane

    Neat pictures. I would love to see one in person one day. They had a large crane here in Indy for a while when building Lucas Oil Stadium, but I was not able to see it much closer than a quarter mile or so.

    Who would buy an equipment video game?

    There were a few machines in some of the Grand Theft Auto games that were fun to play with, even a few cranes.

    How Did You Find Us?

    I was looking up pictures of some Acco equipment.
