So I can haul 5500 lbs if I go my the door sticker but if I go with the tire ratings I can haul almost 10,000 lbs! LMAO! I know I have a tough truck, but I sure won't be testing it to the max tire weights anytime soon! The guys with half ton trucks need to tow a small 2 place trailer instead of...

I bet that thing would be stuck at most of the sled staging areas I go to! Looks like a parking lot poser to me! I would like to see the toy hauler that is built to match that truck though! :rolleyes:

My buddy got a protector that has thin plastic strips instead of the "grass skirt" type. It works well to keep rocks and other debris from hitting the front of his new toy hauler. It is also easy to remove it as it attaches onto the hitch reciever.

Is that 09 Sportsman 400 the new mid size chassis or is it like the full size Sportsman? If it is the smaller model it may not take the same abuse as the full size model. It is was the big model then it may have broken from abuse or a weak part. Sounds lke a weak part to me though. How big is...

What do you suggest he port and polish? He said he is not tearing into the engine this summer. He could port the head and polish the exhaust ports when and if he goes for the big bore kt. My guess is that he just wants a bit more performance. It sounds like he has done most of the easiest bolt...

I hate seeing guys overloading their equipment...especially towing in the winter. I have seen guys going down the highway towing an enclosed trailer and the whole unit is swaying back and forth from left to right...and the twit driving does not think that is a problem? No sway bars, no levelers...

We went out quading down in the Crowsnest area this weekend. My brother and his family had a campsite saved for us at the McGillivray staging area. There were many different types of toy haulers there. The next day when we went out for a ride we saw that the amount of toy haulers had more than...

Many of the parts for a 5.9 build up will adapt to the 6.7...things like exhaust manifolds and turbos. The injection system, ECM and intake manifold are completely different unfortunatly. The AFE Mega Canon will fit the 6.7 up until the 09, but 2010 is different...not sure if AFE has one for it...

Still looking at toy haulers. I was asking about on demand hot water heaters at one dealership. I wondered why none of the toy haulers have one. They take up less space and are more efficient on fuel...perfect for RVs of all kids. They must cost too much. I was also wondering why they could...

I have been looking at lots of RVs including new campers...I agree that not very many of them are suitable for a short box truck. We have a 9.5' Bigfoot also! They are a pretty light camper but it still catches the wind like all campers do. I also enjoy driving my dually as it toys with most...

I have built many different hot rods overthe years and all of them got better fuel economy when I put a high flow dual exhaust system on them. Usually uncorking an exhaust by cutting out the major restrictions like catylitic converters will really help an engine breath better. A lot of the...

You sure have a nice truck, camper and trailer! I was thinking of trying something like that combination with our new truck but now we are thinking like you that a 5th wheel toy hauler may be the way we want to go now...bascially we want some more creature comforts and some more room. I have...

Sounds like a very nice upgrade from your camper! Also, your truck is setup better for towing than a lot of people. Low gears like yours really help when you have to tow loads like you are planning. Post some pics of your new baby please and good luck with your new toy hauler!

Which 5th wheel toy hauler are you thinking of purchasing? You will probably want a dually to tow any of the triple axle trailers as they have an 18,000 lb GVW.

I have never heard of that intake manifold either. I would use a Wildcard Customs intake manifold, but only if I was going all out. The stock 6.7 manifold will flow WAY more air than a 5.9 manifold. The boost tube is a restriction on the 6.7 but you can build your own for around 65 bucks.

I have never blown a line in like 2 million miles of trucking...if they are like ones in big rigs then they are pretty durable. I have however had rocks break the brass fittings though. The only air bags I have had blow were the ones holding up the air ride cab...they just wore out and they are...

Stage 1 H&S kit. This kit deletes the Nox filter and the DPF. The stage 2 kit adds a down pipe off the turbo so you can delete the CAT that runs off the turbo as well as the NOX filter and DPF. I have run many different combinations of parts and have a lot of friends that have tried many other...

What kind of air bags are they? Maybe you could post some pics for us. The ones in big rigs are pretty durable. If you are worried about being stranded maybe you could find a place to store a spare air bag. You would also have bring the tools that are required to change them out...which might...

I hear you there! Right now my red neck toy hauler is paid for. Taking out a loan for one of these new toyhaulers is like getting a second mortgage! This is another reason we are still looking. It takes some time to save up that much cash. Also when you have cash you can usually find or...

I may still have a Stage 1 DPF delete kit for sale if you are interested. I have been experimenting with some different mods with my 6.7 in my efforts to gain some fuel economy. The H&S Stage 1 kit helped our 6.7 gain a few more mpg. I read that this mod is good for 80 ft/lbs torque and 10...
