RE: f150 vs.f250
If you want more truck, skip the 3/4 and buy a 1-ton.

RE: Help with gun selection
The rice farms out here make a lot of money on duck and geese hunting. Lead shot is prohibited. Is lead shot allowed on waterfowl habitat in Texas?

RE: Anyone know about the Chevy 409 truck engine ?
The 348's and 409's looked the same and I don't remember much of a power difference between them. The transmissions were typically 5&2's. They could move a load, but just didn't have the torque diesels had, not to mention the downhill braking of a Jake Brake. The valve covers were unique and will make a neat display.

I don't really know anything about them other than driving dump trucks that had them. What I remember is they used lots of gas.

RE: Help with gun selection
Those choices will just irritate 'gators and wild hogs. A big stick would will work without danger of ricochets. Good luck.

RE: Denali package
Don't worry about factoring in "packages, upgrades or extras" when pricing an RV, just make a wholesale offer.

RE: Anyone heard of these tires?
They are made by Nakang Tire Company in Taiwan.
Oh that's just peachy. Do you know if they're prone to failures like other chinese brands?
Sorry, I don't have any experience with them. I am happy with the Maxxis on my trailer. What are you putting tires on?

I'd look at used name brands. Suggest you get one for yourself while you're at it. Have fun.

I get the fun of the cart. You should try out a 4x4 4-place Side by Side some time. Have fun.

RE: Proper Gear for Towing up Hills
I would downshift and let the engine rev some. Makes it easier on the transmission and engine. Safe towing.
