Let's say I cross fingers with my current pump (which seems to work well). Should it go kaput some day, what kind of replacement cost am I looking at?The Stanydine pumpes are awhful. We had to replace a handful, before they were delivered new. The Moduals are bad.
Tihis is what Fisher quick match has to say.Another question for you: some guy told me the front suspension on that Z71 K1500 I'm considering would be a bit weak for my 7' Fisher plow... what do you think? (Seems to me my halfton Ford handles it OK, this truck should be pretty equivalent, no?)
Does this mean, as usual, that I can perfectly do it, with no consequence, just that it's "not recommended" ?Not for use on extended cab vehicles with diesel engines.
Don't plow on thin ice. I looked at my 98 SLE with 30000km's on it, with an underwater camera 35' down in Dec 2000.doh: If you had to put a plow on a nice truck... a truck that you'd want to keep for a long time, of which you'd want to take very good care of (in the following years) and which is in good shape at the moment (has never plowed)...
what measures (if any) would you take? (to ensure the longest and happiest life possible for the vehicle)
There's a GMI member who think that truck is "too nice" for plowing, but I guess you've plowed with much newer and much nicer trucks... and I'm sure there's a way to keep the truck in good shape even with a plow...
Put it this way. yes and no.Does this mean, as usual, that I can perfectly do it, with no consequence, just that it's "not recommended" ?![]()
NOPE!!!Would you guys recommend this over a paper one?

Also, what kind of immediate maintenance/check-ups should I be performing?

nailhead425: duly noted re: cooling system upgrade. That's on my list...
Thanks!NOPE!!!
I would never use a KN filter. Too much dust makes it through. Ford even had bulletins to void the warranty on Power Strokes if one was installed. It was dusting the cylinder walls and causing top end engine damage and wear.
Why? a 4L80E is a great tranny.BTW, if anyone has a NV4500 5-spd tranny sitting in the garage, I'm a taker.
