Ram forums told me the see dealer now for fuel system service message is lynced with calculated fuel filter life.

Changed oil and filter, Chassis fuel filter/water separater, under hood cartridge filter (67$ from Dealer with delphi discount), and greased everything. 


holding off on rear diff fluid service.  just beat after fluids and trying to tighten up my goose ball nut.  apparently its been loose and beating it self.  cant loose or tighten it, so i just welded it to the mount.  \


now own next group of big boy sockets past the 3/4 HF set. 



oil and fuel monitors reset, 2 DEF engine codes cleared 14940 miles

got a plan for some flat bed extensions to drive buggy or a jeep on.  Gona maybe grab some steel at lunch.  Been thinking about this for a while and have a solid plan.

Think that idea would work on a '42 LM?


I know a guy with one ...

the bed is 9'6" long already, just going to make some 3' or so extensions or so, and with some 6-7' ramps they will all make stake sides for scraping too.



no idea what a 42' LM is

It's a 1948 LM (Load Master), not a 42, as mr wing pointed out privately.

Good idea on using the ramps as stake sides. Is that what Miller did with his F550? I remember seeing his sides and thought they looked odd.

maybe half done.  some tube supports and then tack up the ramps that are cut out.  then stake side provisions.

ready for load test tomorrow in day light!


ramps have stake side stows, extensions bolt on with ten 3/8" bolts the little dewalt makes short work of in 2 min.
