I was wondering if anyone had off-road tire recommendations for a 1996 Ford F350 with a 7.3 Diesel. My application is truthfully all-purpose, but with a very heavy weight towards off-road mud, steep inclines, and in particular...snow.

I just purchased a Mean-Green Alternator (MG8206) for my 97 Suburban K1500, 5.7L with Optima red-top battery -- in anticipation of replacing the reman alternator that I have to replace every couple of years. The new alternator seems to be a direct bolt-in. However, when I start up and run the...

Hi everyone- I posted this question in rec.autos.tech but got no response so I thought I'd try here- hope it's not to far off topic. I've got a '92 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 with a 6.5 turbo diesel that's putting out a considerable amount of white smoke. There is also quite a bit of fuel in the oil...

I have a 1996 Ford F150 4X4 that I just bought and I would like to install a tailgate lock on it. Anyone have experiences with these locks? The key latch type would appear to be easily removed. I have seen an electrical release type that operates from the cab. I would like to keep the tailgate...

Specifically though I'd...
