I sprayed the front grill and bumper, wheel wells and rocker panels of my gen 1 years ago with bullet liner. My problems were more with the installer than with the product. Its a real nice clean looking liner.
Damn rights it is! Tailgater model. I gotta get my smoke on in the backcountry! I have two auxiliary batteries running an ARB zero fridge so power is not an issue.
Hit 413,500km and lost a few gears in the transmission. Put a ford reman in, unlimited miles/2year warranty. Alot better than the old 2 year/40k it used to be.
Still a fair bit behind Ogdobber, still no complaints. Just rebuilt all four Kings for the first time. At least 200,000km on them. Changed the spark plugs for the second time as well. Other than that its just been general maintenance. Should be good for another 400k
We had a semi with a fully loaded tridem tanker get pulled out with a bubba rope by another semi at work here. Cant believe the rope didnt brake

The guys that I dealt with claimed it would not be cost effective to arch them. I think the deavers are just too soft for guys that run the trucks hard. I would be surprised if I got 100,000km out of each set.
Not sure who they actually used as I went through Hydraco in Medicine Hat. 403-526-2244. John is the guy that handled it all. I got them to add a leaf on one side to take care of the dreaded lean I always seem to get with the deavers. I haven’t got in to pick them up yet, but I am sure they will...
I had a company make me a set of leaf springs similar to the deavers. I believe they got them made in edmonton. I have gone through two sets of deavers so I got them to make them a bit heavier.

You can source a rebuild kit directly from ford, or pull it apart and get the numbers off the bearings and source them locally.

Haha yeah its in km but still all original except I rebuilt the rear diff 100k ago, put kings on at 160k, other than replacing the spherical bearings on them I havent had to do much else besides regular maintenance. Solid truck
The crown and pinion can be bought as a kit that includes bearings, seal and crush sleave. If you are looking for a rebuild kit without the gears you likely will have to order parts separately
I am not sure why, and I am sure it would probably be fine to rebuild it with the smaller one. The rollers are essentially 1/3 smaller on the inner pinion is all. My thought process was that it lasted quite a few miles with the original bearing so why not put the same thing back in.
The oem rebuild kit is pretty cheap, all bearings are timken anyways if i recall correctly. If you are just doing bearings I would source from a bearing place, if you are doing it all just get the whole kit from ford. The only thing I don’t like about the ford kit is the one pinion bearing they...
