3/4 TON * V-10 * RARE FIND IN GOOD CONDITION
Of course its a "rare find" they sucked so much gas, they're hard to give away. the 5.9 Diesel is much more economical and has torque up the snoot. The diesel would be a better choice instead of that 6 mpg hog. |

The diesel version of this same truck tends to cost a lot more from what I've seen. Also, where I live gas is currently $2.54/gallon and diesel fuel is $3.25, which I suspect would negate some of the difference in fuel economy. Other than the gas suckage, were there mechanical problems with the V10? Anyone have direct experience? I'm looking for something inexpensive to tow infrequently for relatively short distances. I have my own dock where my boat stays most of the summer, and my truck would undoubtedly spend most of its life parked in my driveway. I have no doubt that the V10 would get gas mileage similar to my boat's, but I'm not looking for a daily driver here. |

Get a transmitter and transmit your PC audio to your stereo.

Harry Krause wrote in message ... It just occurred to me that you might be able to help me resolve an FM reception problem. One of the few items that I've purchased at Radio Shack that works well is their powered FM antenna. I forget what the model is, but it is attractive in it's packaging, has adjustable gain and has a small blue light to indicate that it is on. I was even able to broadcast the RF output from a Sirius sat receiver (powered from a DC power supply) to our main house stereo receiver located about 100 feet away. Without the Radio Shack antenna I got nothing. Tom may have a better idea. Eisboch |

It's pretty stable. They make a synthesized FM stereo transmitter but for the cost of the pre assembled one in the link above and use with USB port, I feel it is a better solution. b. |

Economics? 6'7 mpg (on a good day) with the v-10 gas, or 18-20 mpg with the diesel. That cummins is a fantastic engine. many are reported with over 300,00 maintenance only miles. |
