What have you done to your FORD today v2

[fatherdoug]

The Bronco is road legal again. Inspected and licensed. Woot woot.

Did you get your brake problem fixed?

Did you get your brake problem fixed?

Nope...but it still passed inspection. It stops, but I get alot of pedal fade. I'll use it sparingly, if at all until the brakes are up to par.

 

[Austin]

Nothing better than a legal rig! What does your inspection consist of, Ben?

 

[john112deere]

I didn't do it, but Ford fixed my windows (under warranty- I haven't seen the paperwork, but I believe I've got new tracks in both doors), and slapped an inspection sticker on it.

 

[LEB Ben]

Nothing better than a legal rig! What does your inspection consist of, Ben?

Anything 25 years or older (I believe, might be 30 years) is just brakes, lights, horn, no obnoxious leaks and tire tread. Anything newer gets that, plus sniffer and it gets plugged up...mom's sploder failed yesterday because of a clogged cat.

 

[Austin]

Hmm. Sounds like California compared to these parts!

Sniffer for anything 25 or newer. That's it. No regulations for 25 older.

^^^Ol' Bev is trying to make the state a little revenue via vehicle taxation and fees.

I put an IRS under my truck.

 

[racsan]

removed the parking brake strut from the r.h. drum. cable wasnt releasing fully. at least the l.r. wheel can hold the truck in place during winter warm-ups.

750 got it's yearly safety as well as all fluids changed, full chassis lube, air dryer dessicant changed, tires rotated....good for another year.

 

[fatherdoug]

Installed another Robert Shaw thermostat today. The other one was about 5 years old and stuck in the open position. It's nice to have heat in the cab again!

 

[Beach66Bum]

Did the winter oil change before it really gets cold outside.(don't have a garage to work in ! )

 

[fatherdoug]

Pulled thermostat housing because it was leaking around gasket. One of the cutouts for the bolthole had gotten lodged between the gasket and housing. Problem solved. Also tightened valve cover bolts. Bolts don't have lock washers. Should the valve cover bolts have lock washers?

 

[LEB Ben]

Should the valve cover bolts have lock washers?

Mine don't...I just do what you did every few months.

I had to clean the battery terminals on my E350. It turned over a little slow this morning .
Started my F250 and let it run for 10-15 minutes. Carb was dry again. had to crank for ever, finally shot a little ether in the breather. I'm going to have to find out why thats happening , and fix it.

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

Finally got my turn signal in.

 

[62unibodymatt]

Mounted my new Peterson turn signal switch on my 62 F250. Starting to wire it in. Gonna be cool to have hazards on an old truck that was not factory stock

 

[Beach66Bum]

Well, had to put in another starter. Only takes a minute to do, but these darn rebuilds just plain suck !!

 

[wareagle]

not squat... Still trying to troubleshoot this acceleration issue....

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

Warn Premium hubs are on, one of my autos was broken unbeknownst to me.
