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.

Economics?

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.
