Well time sure flies... another year, another 13k miles and I'm still not sure where they're coming from compared to years past. Did run into some issues this year, it's had the timing chain rattle at startup intermittently for quite a while and finally this summer started stumbling off idle and...

Awesome! Welcome to the site

Figures whoever thought that was a good idea could barely make a passable weld 😂

It's all fun and games until the steering wheel breaks your thumb 😂 miserable old manual steering

Man that first one is sharp. I'm partial to the color though 😆

Yearly update lol... rolled 90k the other day as I approach 6 years of ownership in a few days. Which means I've put on 13,000 miles this year. Not honestly sure how as I think back on the year - those that have been following this thread through time know that's a bunch of miles for me. Haven't...

Don't recall where I took that picture... wasn't in the 'dive 😂There are a fair number of empty parking lots here these days though

Saw a new Bronco on the showroom floor at the local Ford dealer today... it was every bit as cool as the pictures 😂I agree that a 2.7 eco with the manual trans would be a cool option but I suppose the demand is pretty low

Sorry about that Doug :rofl:Thanks for the well wishes everyone

Yes... should work perfectly the way you've drawn it there. I've done it before just by stripping the ends on two pieces of wire and twisting them around the posts... not pretty but it serves the purpose :rofl:

Thanks Doug, happy new year to you! Man that would be disappointing :rofl:

Figured I'd drop in and make a 5 year update... because why not? :rofl:Just rolled 77,000 miles almost 5 years to the day from when I bought it. I'd have to look back to do the exact math but I think that averages out to about 7,300 miles per year since I've owned it. Coincidentally my...

First guess is bad ground or maybe bad hot... check the main grounds and the main hot where it goes to the starter

7.3 isn't super impressive compared to say the 6.7 powerstroke, but man they were reliable and really the thing to have in their day. Glad you're rebuilding it :D

I can see it. But then again I'm speshul smilietease

Welcome to the site!

Im trying to remember if that truck is 2wd or 4wd? In any event a dampener can help but is typically seen as a bandaid for underlying issues. You shouldn't be replacing wheel bearings or tie rods every year by any means. Are you sure you don't have a bent wheel or something? Did they say how...

Nice! People seem to either love or hate the V10. I had one in a company F350 for quite a few years and got excellent service out of it

Welcome to the site! Which engine is in that beast?

450, 455, or 460? In any case they are solid saws for the priceKinda surprised to hear that... Echo is usually pretty professional grade stuff for cheaper than Stihl or HusqvarnaAnd nice looking tractor, Doc

What brand chainsaw?

Not sure how that happened. And what fukking irony :rofl:Its fixed now though :D

Was that before or after I banned 8 more spammers? :rofl:In any event, nice milestone for the site

Yes, shouldn't have any issues with a Wix brand filter.Wix and Purolator are pretty much the standard for oil filters, one of the two of them private brand filters for most OEMs. Last I knew Purolator was producing Motorcraft filters for Ford.Would not hesitate for a second to put a Wix...

Thanks all :D

744H is one of the best loaders I've run. Thing was rough and noisy but man it would load trucks

I like those 844 loaders. Maybe wouldn't if I had to work on one though :rofl:

Well it's been a very long time coming... almost 12 years. But I finally made 10,000 posts :rofl:Really stalled out in the 9,000s... been 4.5 years according to my post history
