Yay for happy campers.

I believe Ford quit building trucks with Cummins power in the late 1980's, long before automated trannys became popular.

They may not have built them, but don't forget the embarrassment of "Sterling". A little light for the OP desires, but automatic trans, Cummins power.

Agree with Vern. Or did you close the tank isolation valve while working on the pump plumbing? Remember to open the valve? Don't ask me how I know this issue.

We have no idea what you want. Context? Backstory?

Amazon has good ol' Rotella T4 15-40 for $130/5 gal. Delo 15-40 runs $200/5 gal. Our N14 takes 12 gal per service. Fuel filter runs $55 from Cummins, but it's cheaper elsewhere. Oil filter is &50, pretty much everywhere.   Add in grease and time, it's not a horrible price. Oil changes have gotten a lot more expensive, just like eggs.

Wheelbase is a constant trade-off. Too long, and you'll never get into a park the rest of us roll in easily. Too short, bends will appear. Decide what you have to have, get your tape measure, do some math, go shopping.

Anyone who knew Lee had a hard time not being amused, We never got the chance to meet, beyond the keyboard, as he chased his last cowgirl the year we took flight. He is missed.

If you can handle the slightly rougher ride of a Wrangler, along with the fuel mileage, I think you'll find the "Death Wobble" to be over-rated. It's causes are known, and easily remedied, if people are willing to listen. They're easy to put into "Tow" mode, and just as easy to return to driving.
You need to look in the mirror, and be honest with yourself. There's a lot of better vehicles, where better means lighter, quieter, or more fuel efficient, but they're not a Jeep. 

Ignore the shadowed area behind the rear wheel. Short beds and long beds are the same in this area. The difference between them lies in the front of the box, between the cab and rear axle. On top of that, Ram didn't offer a short bed on any body, except the Mega Cab.

A little digging, and it appears the law was voted in, in 1998, with an exemption period that has now expired. With that kind of lead time, anyone complaining of oppresion hasn't been paying attention.

That is all over the internet

Given that, then get the facts. That;s a long box truck, as Ram only had the MegaCab as a short box.

Then I think the good people of Macon, Georgia have excercised their rights.

Any change like this would have had a period for public input. It may have even been an election issue. Did you attend? Vote? Make your voice heard?

Because it's new, it really needs some time to settle out. Haven't heard any reports yet of tourist rigs being affected, but commercial rigs have been voluntarily self-restricting for awhile already.

What about all the trucks parked on dealer lots or in storage?  Is the snow ever removed?

The front row ones get cleaned to catch buyers' eye. Back fence? They'll get done, eventually.

This is probably a dumb question. I cannot find any link to access the Resource Guide. Where do I find it.?

At the top of the HDT section, there's a bunch of pinned topics. The Resource Guide is among them.

12 years of travelling, west of the Mississippi, been refused once.

The application gauge registers any pressure applied to the breals, whether foot treadle, or company stick.

Merry Christmas to one and all. Hoping the season has you smiling and lifting your spirits a bit. Here's to a better year coming up. 73* in AZ.

Don't hook it up there, use the supply line to the brake applicacation pressure guage. Less chance of getting on the wrong side of something there.

My intent in posting the link was to remind all that a password is only as effective as the effort you put into it. And not to be too trusting of the people you use for security. This hack apparently happened in Sept. and no news was issued until just before Christmas. Trying to get lost in the travel/family rush? Not for me to comment, but I have my opinion.

From last year, the 14 day pirates and the dump site bandits were apparent. They were too lazy to go far from town, often right in town. They get dealt with, I think in a similar fashion to anywhere else, after a complaint.

Do you use LastPass, or other password securing sites. Get off the couch, you got some work to do. TechCrunch has a writeup on a new hack attack.

Given that there's no mechanical linkage attached to the "Star Trek" shifter, it should be possible. We moved ours ahead and right, to make a little more room.
