[QUOTE="Turtle Bite, post: 1093745, member: 16775"] I am shopping for a new diesel tow rig and have a few questions. I have it narrowed down to 2 types of rigs, 94-97 powerstrokes and 94-98 12v Dodges. The Dodges seem to be $1500-2000 more for the same options, are they really worth the extra $? Is there a way to tell if the track bar is loose without putting the truck up on the lift? The couple of low mileage ones I have driven have all felt pretty loose on the roadbut tight when i get underneath them. Should I be worried about buying a rig that has been mildy bombed for 100K miles? (say a fuel plate and governer springs) Will a powerstroke with bad glowplugs show symptoms like hard starting when its hot out, like 80-100 degrees? When doing the single mass flywheel conversion on the powerstrokes, is it mandatory to change the master and slave cylinders or will they work fine if they are in good shape? Are the cheaper clutch kits (Beck Arnley, Zoom) good enough for very mild mods? Any other creative places to look for one of these pigs, I am scouring craigslist, truck-trader, the nickel papers, and bestautorecovery? (looking to spend no more than $6000) [/QUOTE]
