Pete M Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 you'll need to host it on a site like photobucket, then copy that addy, click the pic icon (small greenish square right above the text box), and paste the addy in the pop up box. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 different sites have different ways to somehow make life easier with their auto scripts and whatnot. I simply get the image I want to use on the screen, right click, and click "copy image location". paste that into the popup box here. :D easy-cheesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have half a dozen 2.5 in my yard with over 250K on them. Pull maintenance and don't abuse them, they'll last as long as anything on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ya that is an awesome little truck. id like to see some more pics. it's an excellent example. it looks like it has all the best options. i'm not a fan of those mirrors but for some reason i think they often came with a package that included the excellent and valuable dana 44 rear end.

HOrnbrod Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Welcome, great looking truck. It's a repaint, and looks like a good two-tone job. Where are you located? There's no snow on the ground so that's a good sign. Just hope it's not a bondo beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Look at the diff housing. The D35 is round and shaped like an oval. The D44 is more irregular shaped. There's a chart floating around here somewhere. If you can't figure it out, get a picture of the diff and we'll identify it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codymanche Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Everyone on here said mines a 44 but the diff cover only says Dana on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 And welcome! That's a good looking truck, hopefully we can help you keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Though ive seen 4cyl metric tons,a 2.5l auto with a D44 seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Anything's possible with these trucks. You could make a pretty weird option soup if you ordered from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54bobby Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 it's a comanche larado. what was the larado designation for? option package?? the interior is plad cloth, no rips or tares. i am really supprised at the condition of the interior. taking posession monday or tuesday and i'll get a ton of pics up. i'm gona want to put some kind of a cover on the back. not a cap but a soft or even a hindged hard cover. any recomendations? for some reason i'm drawn to older vehicles. my present ride is a 1986 bme 325es that is the love of my life. any of you guys into the e30 scene? still having trouble posting pics. i can paste in the img or html codes but just get the link and not a pic. i'm using photo bucket. can someone help me out.

54bobby Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 here's my girl, 1986 325es with 370,000 on the clock. runs like a top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The Laredo was an option package, yes. Short bed bed dimensions are 72 by 55 1/8 inches. An S10 or Ford Ranger bed is close enough that camper shells at least should fit between them. Not sure about bed covers but I'd be willing to bet they'd work. I use imgur.com for all of my pictures. It does all of the code stuff for you. Beautiful BMW, by the way. Always liked how they looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thats a nice BMW, I had an 88 E28 535 the "shark nose". It was a neat car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always liked how they looked. it's a full size bed, 8ft. can you put these trucks in 4 wheel on the fly or do you have to stop? i'm new to the 4x4 truck scene. well back in the day, dad had a 73 f250 that was quite the build but that was a long time ago. if is ask stupid questions, please feel free to flame me ( in gest of course) warning, i do shoot back.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 "To engage, shift the transfer case lever from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving at any legal speed" 4L position: " To engage, slow the vehicle to 2-3 MPH , shift the transmission to Neutral, then shift the transfer lever to the right and pull firmly rearward to 4L". Straight out of the manual. The only stupid question is one that isn't asked. Apologizing for asking questions is actually against the rules! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
