Not So Pro 3

Lol the twin traction beam? Those things went through ball joints like you go through coffee



Don't be jealous that you don't get to ride on the motorcycle

i did a heater core on a 98 f250 and to get the hoses off i was elbow deep under the cab section and took me 14 hours to change everything had to come out of the dash to get to it
i said never again

I have heard of a few bad heads as well. My 01 had one and it was difficult to find one at the time

hows you slacker
i do keep a eye on all the fluids in the truck so just in case something does go bad

Genuinely don't want this to turn into a handbag swing.
We don't have any volume of 2500 or 3500s down here so no-one knows anything about them, including me.
So the perfect truck is what? Cummins, Allison, Dana's in a Ford shell?

For us, wife and I, its best reliability rating followed by ride and mpg as long as it meets our towing and or hauling needs. Off-road capabilities are not a priority anymore. Towing over 5000 isn't either.

I worked at a Ford dealer for a short while, I worked on a few jobs where we pulled the cabs off of Super Duties to do 6.0L head studs. Wasn't all that hard when you had a lift handy, they pretty much had it down to a science.

busy but I’m doing well. When the head went on mine you didn’t need to worry about knowing. As it warmed up it would build pressure then burp in the coolant tank and your low coolant light would come on. My guess is you are past the point where you need to worry though

Be no coincidence John. Be from the old european tradition of surnames coming from physical attributes.

My family name is Allcock for example....

Adam Allcock seems like a good name. LOL

 

[Egg Shooter]

dont know what that word means

Problems.

Adam Allcock seems like a good name. LOL

Fictitious unfortunately tho John. Mate of mine told that joke to a bar full of hotties once, had asked them all their surnames. " Oh Miller, so you would have milled flour" etc for minutes before delivering the punchline. Dunno how he got on, but when i stopped laughing he wasn't there anymore...

Honestly if I was gonna buy a diesel I would go with with an LB7 or LLY. People beat off to the LBZ and now the prices of them have skyrocketed. I like my Fords but Ford hasn't had a good diesel since the 7.3L.

Which one? The idi or the power stroke,?

i like being able to work on something without taking the cab off of
when i was early 20s i worked in a garage and worked on more fords than any other brands
ball joints and tie rods should last longer than 15000 miles

lol im not the one wanting to ride *b-word on a motorcycle lol

I like Ford but the tie rod deal....we had 3 different ford escorts. Used them as work commuters only. All three needed tie rods every 40-60,000 miles. No matter the brand or if greasable. We didn't beat them down dirt roads n such. Just a *s-worde set up on those I guess.

 

[Egg Shooter]

It's all junk. Gas Diesel battery powered....junk. All machines want to do is stick it to ya at the worst possible time

Time for a brand change in your life Mr sour puss. Lol

 

[Egg Shooter]

I work with a guy whose last name is niggel. Sometimes annoying. LOL

Gotta pronunciate that spot on every time.

The Powerstroke. The IDI was a dog.

The Twin Traction Beam and twin I-Beam front suspension ford used on their trucks were notorious for eating ball joints. Mine never gave me much trouble but I was meticulous when I set up the alignment which is probably why.

Today just keeps getting better. Son’s baseball team played in the championship tonight and won......however, he was pitching and took a line drive off the nose.....broken nose

Nah same outcome no matter what. My trucks been pretty good but when it does decide to be junk, it picks the most inopportune moment
