I am thinking this thread needs to be renamed "1st gen and Dodge Lunch table" because 3rd gens get memes and "shoos" from @bmf4069 but the Dodge just get's likes.

 

Speaking of....

 

Impressive storm rolled through last night, no power loss but the internets have been intermittent.

 

It also fits the 22RE, 2RZ, and 3RZ. It’s so convenient having one filter fit every Toyota I own.

 

Too much wheel, not enough tire.

 

I actually don't mind dodges, as long as they're older. I still want a 5.9 4x4 megacab with a 6 spd. And the 93-03 are just cool. But only the diesel ones. Not a big fan of the other 2 though. I'm kind of an odd ball. I have 0 brand loyalty. If something catches my fancy, I'll drive it.

With that being said, I've only had 3 brands that were almost 100% reliable. Honda, Toyota, and Nissan. Hell, I even like the titans. It's a good looking truck. Has it's own issues just like tundras too.

 

I agree with most of that. Had an '03 With a 5.9 Cummins and Loved the motor. Only had a 4 speed transmission though. Pretty sure the transmission was going out on it, so I traded it off. Were I more of a mechanic, independently wealthy, or if I could find a decent mechanic I might have kept that truck.

 

Daaaaang, why so long? Keeping it around 200°? Usually at 250 I can smoke a 7-8lb'er in 8-9 hours

 

Now known as the intermiternets

 

Yeah, the autos in almost every diesel, even today, is almost at the limits. Both dodge sticks and the zf in the ford were pretty stout. Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind an OBS ford 7.3 with a stick. That'd be cool too. I just like sticks.

Wait for it.......

 

First time smoking a butt. I wet brined for 10+ hours, I didn’t wrap at the stall, and I had it set for 225 which yielded a 215ish rack temp. I’m sure all those factors played a part. Still super tasty, but yeah I’m sure I’ve got more to learn. I kept getting down on tri tips, nice and easy and super good!

 

Anybody give you crap about liking sticks you just throw this at them!

 

IME, brine is key on butts, smaller stuff like wings and ribs, they get too salty. I usually brine with 1/2 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and sometimes herbs or peppercorns. Wrapping at or before stall ("crutch", "texas crutch") is unnecessary on anything that typically doesn't go dry, brisket being the largest offender where crutching helps tremendously.

I usually try stick around 235-250 range start to finish. Key thing to moist meat is to foil-tent for 1-3 hours after you reach temp. The meat will stay warm, but will give time for all that juice to settle. This was probably the single most important thing I stumbled onto by accident, nobody bothered to tell me. I've also found pushing to 275 at stall on big meat slabs helps push thru stall about 3x faster instead of sitting on your hands, I haven't noticed any downside yet.

You know, something else nobody told me but I wish they had, on the topic of roasts like tri-tip. Chuck roast, rump roast, bottom round, top round, and similar cuts are KILLER when smoked and similar to shoulders, you can get wicked deals per lb. If you can find a cap-on tip roast, it's one of my favorites. I have a butcher not far from home who'll reserve if I ask.

 

Good tips, thanks. Yeah I covered and put in a cooler to rest for 2 hours.

Drilling these holes for the sliders is taking entirely too long. I've broken two bits so far. I've borrowed a better drill from my neighbor but it hasn't helped.

 

Have you tried a step bit?

 

@FirstGenVol step bit if you have the room for it, and some oil maybe. Drilling through frames sucks.

 

Regarding step and drill bits, good info here.

 

We call them UniBits. Some call Corn Corn. Some call Corn Maise.

We call step bits UniBits. A nice LithIon Milwaukee Drill with Momba High Output Battery would make easy work of the holes. For hand blisters, I recco some Triple Anti-Biotic.

 

Im driving to AZ on Monday and being that its going to be 110, its there anything I should do before driving through the heat? Should I lower my tire pressure?

 

Hahah
Bring water. Also maybe hose out the condenser and radiator at the front. And bring glasses and sunscreen

 

I have not tried a step bit but I'll keep that it mind for the future. I FINALLY finished. They look damn good. I'll get some better pics when I can.

 

Rethink your decision.

 

Nice powder coat job! Now go test the durability on some rocks!

 

Bring oven mitts for the steering wheel.

 

Spray some AeroSpace 303 on everything!
