    40ft flatbed with 3 I-beams for frame?

    I'm looking at a used 40ft gooseneck trailer, probably 15yrs old that has 3 12" I-beams for the main frame, is this unusual? I've got a new trailer with the triple frame, just never have seen an old one with one. It's pretty cheap and just wondered if this was something to stay away from or...

    Add axle to trailer?

    I have a 40ft gooseneck flatbed with 3 I-beam main runners going the whole length and 1/4" plate for a floor. The thing is just heavy. How hard would it be to add a 3rd 12k axle to it? Just welt on some brackets and bolt up? Would having triple duel axles on it cause the bad tire scrubbing...

    DOT nailed me, need bigger rig...

    KDOT nailed me yesterday hauling 20 1600lb bales of alfalfa on my 40ft gooseneck behind my F350. They believe I don't have a big enough truck to be hauling that and gave me about a 2ft long ticket explaining why. So what do I need to do? F450? F550? Single axle semi or go all out and just get...

    @#!*@!! Turbo! What the heck is going on?

    2006, F350, 6.0, 170k I've narrowed down my turbo problem. I notice it when pulling a trailer. I was pulling an empty stock trailer the other day, everything going good, running 70mph, 11lbs of boost showing on the gauge. Then for no reason, boost drops to zero to 3 or 4lbs. Pressing the...

    Replacing AC condenser questions

    I'm replacing the AC condenser in a 99 F350. The genius that took it out before I bought it didn't cap the lines to the compressor, so my question is do I need to replace compressor and flush the lines real good or can I hook it up as is?

    On the road, no power...

    06 F350 pulling an empty 25ft flatbed, absolutely no power. Truck doesn't have enough to stay in overdrive on flat ground. Fuel filters were changed less than 5000 miles ago. Cant hear the turbo whistling (or real faintly) and the dash turbo gauge bounces between 15 and 25 pounds of boost...

    Trouble pulling trailer

    Took off this morning pulling a 26ft GN, with a 45hp compact tractor/loader, 4 wheeler and a pallet that weighs about 2000lbs. Truck can't hold speed in overdrive or with cruise on. Recently the edge programmer took a dump along with the ficm. Has new fuel filters. Is this to be expected...

    Better MPGs without tuner?

    Well, my Edge Juice with Attitude crapped out the other day along with the FICM. It's always had an Edge on it and had religiously gotten 300-325 miles on a tank (ccsb), doesn't matter if it was set on mileage, towing, or Preformance. First trip today without any tuner what so ever, 431 miles...

    Ficm toast, now injectors getting funky

    Took my 06 F350 in to the mechanic because it was running rough, no power, shakey. Was throwing a code for ficm, they replaced that. No.5 injector threw a code, replaced that, now No.1 injector periodically throws code, with periods of running normal and at times it just turns itself off while...

    Anyone ever move a trailer house?

    Got 3 trailer houses for pretty much nothing, not bad shape. I'm gonna haul them back to where I live and rent them out. I've never hauled them before, looking for some tricks of the trade. They are 14x76 I believe. Looks like just need to cut the lines to them, slap some tires on and hitch...

    06 drivers side sag, questions on 2012 blocks?

    The factory blocks under my rear springs on this 06 f350 measure 3.5". It has about 1/2" of sag on the drivers side. I was looking around and heard that the 2011-2013 f350s have 4" blocks under the rear springs. Is this true? Would these blocks fit on the 06? Thanks

    Buying 02 7.3l, tell me if I should back out

    A guy has a 2002 CCLB, 6spd, dually for sale for $4k firm with 340k on the clock. Looks good inside and out, recent tranny and AC. Says it needs new injectors because of low compression, will start and idle, but won't drive. Is this an injector issue that I can correct easily or something...
