Well as for mine i have had no problems with it in all the time i have had my truck , but then again mine is a 5 speed as a long time ago i had my round with the slush boxes and even thought i am vary well experanced with building a slush box as i have build many C6's and 727 's and ever since may 10 of 1975 when ford cheapened up the C6's and you can no longer get the 6 clutch drums for them i have no use for a sluch box and since i am also and old large car driver , it takes iron to haul iron and i am not a panzzy and don't mind a stick even in rush hour traffic . My only grip about the Dodges are that they do not have lock out hubs as here again i do not mind getting a littel mud or snow on my boots to get out and lock the hubs in when needed . Now believe me when i tell you that i have had more then my fair share of SUN KISSED LEMONS from Ford like my 78 F250 4X4 and also my 88 F350 4X4 with it's engine parts list of 666 that was knowen by all Ford dealers in this area as the truck from He(double) L that Frod spent over 12000 dollars in warranty repairs plus a new total paint job then the insurance co. spent almost 9000 on repairs for a wire fire then it would eat a computer once a week for what ever reason and the rear end that self distructed because of a cheap crush spacer and the list goes on , by the time we got the truck all fixed to where it was working good it was wore out. So i bought the dodge used and yes it was not take vary good care of but two new u/ joints in the ft. end and new total brake job with rotors and calipers and engine tune up on the Cummins and tow lift pumps and a fuel tank sending unit it is fine now. Lot less money spent on the dodge then on the Ford.

Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
