3/4 TON * V-10 * RARE FIND IN GOOD CONDITION

Of course its a "rare find" they sucked so much gas, they're hard to
give away.

the 5.9 Diesel is much more economical and has torque up the snoot.

The diesel would be a better choice instead of that 6 mpg hog.

The diesel version of this same truck tends to cost a lot more from what
I've seen. Also, where I live gas is currently $2.54/gallon and diesel fuel
is $3.25, which I suspect would negate some of the difference in fuel
economy. Other than the gas suckage, were there mechanical problems with the
V10? Anyone have direct experience? I'm looking for something inexpensive to
tow infrequently for relatively short distances. I have my own dock where my
boat stays most of the summer, and my truck would undoubtedly spend most of
its life parked in my driveway. I have no doubt that the V10 would get gas
mileage similar to my boat's, but I'm not looking for a daily driver here.

Get a transmitter and transmit your PC audio to your stereo.

Here's a neat way to do it:

Or you could go to Ramsey Electronics and buy one of their FM stereo
transmittters (about the same price).

It just occurred to me that you might be able to help me resolve an FM
reception problem.


One of the few items that I've purchased at Radio Shack that works well is
their powered FM antenna. I forget what the model is, but it is attractive
in it's packaging, has adjustable gain and has a small blue light to
indicate that it is on.

I was even able to broadcast the RF output from a Sirius sat receiver
(powered from a DC power supply) to our main house stereo receiver located
about 100 feet away. Without the Radio Shack antenna I got nothing.

Tom may have a better idea.

I have a similar transmitter from Ramsey Electronics. With a 24 inch
piece of wire (and on the second story of the house) it transmitted about
1000 feet.

: What Ramsey unit do you have? Thanks!

I built the FM-10 which is an unsynthesized one. It's pretty stable. They
make a synthesized FM stereo transmitter but for the cost of the
pre assembled one in the link above and use with USB port, I feel it
is a better solution.

6'7 mpg (on a good day) with the v-10 gas, or 18-20 mpg with the
diesel.

That cummins is a fantastic engine.

many are reported with over 300,00 maintenance only miles.

I pretended to have one of those in my pretend driveway once, it was nice.

Lunch was nice;


Tenderised diseased body parts and lemon seasoning on top of gross giraffe
tail with apple extract, served in a gurgling double boiler containing
medium cooked avocado, dull specks of octopus, sardine gravy, a side of
scallion and a mug of hot gerbil serum.

Were you in the New Haven area when Radio Shack had that wonderful store
of parts bins downtown? What a great place! I got everything I needed
there for my 7th Grade science project, a cloud chamber. Well,
everything but one part. I got a two gallon glass jug from a farmer and
had its ends cut off at a "scientific" glass plant in the city.

I took an electronics course in high school (Amity) and most of the class
supplies were purchased there. I also used to raid the Lafayette Radio
store at the shopping center off Merrett Parkway, just north of the West
Rock tunnel.

Big whoop. I've got a Jeep closing in on that, and it's still
dependable. Starts every time I want to tow the boat, or utility
trailer. I wouldn't hesitate to start out for the left coast in it.

Then you'd be missing a lot. Cruising up to Glacier Bay and then on down
to La Paz, San Carlos and Mazatlan offer real cruising adventures. Life
experiences, not the same ol', same ol' that the ripoffs that East Coast
and Caribbean cruising has become.

Are you aware of the steep rise in cruising fees imposed on the Bahamian
islands? They are out to rip Americans. Floriduh should charge Bahamian
residents a similar fee just for shopping on the mainland.

Why are you so concerned? You're not Skipper. And even the real Skipper
never had enough money to buy any sort of large cruising boat. I
remember the jerkwad regaling us about screwing some pathetic boatseller
out of a week's use of his boat, on the ruse that he wanted to buy the
clapped out old hulk. And, of course, that story was b.s., too.

I remember that escapade. Believe it was in Alaska.
That 'original Skipper' was quite a piece of work.
I can't imagine why the 'cheap imitation' would want to pretend to be him.

Like I said, this truck wouldn't be driven much. Maybe 3-4K miles per year.
Using todays fuel prices and your mileage numbers and figuring that an
equivalent diesel truck would cost me a good $3K more than the V10 version,
it would take between 11,500 and 16,450 miles to make up the difference on
fuel cost alone. In that scenario, it would be 3-5 years before I start
seeing any net savings.

What is wrong with owning a high mileage vehicle? It sits in back,
ready anytime I want to haul something, go out in the woods (4X4), tow
the boat, tow a utility trailer, etc. You see, unlike you, I wasn't
forced to have to trade it in when I got another vehicle. I suppose you
are one of those that are stupid enough to buy brand new, and take the
intitial 15% hit in depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot,
right?
